The Sensorites
This story has such a strong design style, circles are used so well in it – on the one hand, they are used to add to the claustrophobic atmosphre of the spaceship scenes, on the other, they add a lovely sense of scale and air to the Sense-Sphere scenes. It’s these two very different atmospheres I wanted to bring to the sketch. The Sensorites, too, are like this. On the one hand creepy, eerie, they are also an advanced, civilised people.
Finally, I wanted to bring a sense of the adventure and fun of the annual illustrations to this piece. I’ve used nice, complimentary orange & blue (a combination I use a lot!) with hints of yellows to get that feel, with lots of contrast.
