It's all about the eyebrows

I guess it is time to wrap up this series of ferrets.  Even after a season of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, I'm not sure how I feel about his portrayal.  He's a fine actor and I enjoy a great deal of what he brings to the character, but I think the writers have been turning in scripts intended for someone else, whether someone earlier or someone yet to be cast.  At least Capaldi gets to share the TARDIS with Clara Oswald.

Bow ties are cool

Matt Smith's eleventh Doctor came crashing into our hearts with a redesigned TARDIS, a penchant for bow ties and fezzes, and a craving for fish sticks and custard.  The show itself had some fundamental changes as well, with show runner Russell T. Davies exiting and Stephen Moffat taking lead.  While I favor a lot of the tone of the show during Davies' run, Moffat created some of the strongest female characters in the series' history, including my favorite, Clara Oswald.  Argue amongst yourselves, if you must, but that's my opinion.

More Doctor, now in color!

Jon Pertwee was the third Doctor.  Aside from the dashing velvet suit, with cape, he sported the most amazing Golden Girls hairstyle.  Seriously.  Google Bea Arthur and then Jon Pertwee.  See?

Back. Again.

After a really long absence, I've decided to give the blog another go.  I enjoy creating artwork and this format allows me to share it, so it's a win-win.  Here we go.

I've got a concept I've been developing with a friend.  The central character is a ferret, and when you combine that critter with my nerd love of Doctor Who, you get this, the first Doctor of Galliferret.  First, you reference a picture of William Hartnell (copyright BBC and all appropriate individuals).

From this, I worked up a sketch.

Finally, I went into Adobe Illustrator and came up with this.
There are a couple more things I plan on doing with this, but it's a good start.
