The Seeds of Doom

The Seeds of Doom

Old, wrinkled faces are a bit of a cliche of portraiture. I tend to try and avoid such cliches, but Sylvia Coleridge as Amelia Ducat… she’s just so fun, isn’t she? So you’ll excuse this momentary self-indulgence! I’ve also thrown in a Krynoid, and tried to make it feel like the Krynoid is a study by Amelia.

The Brain of Morbius

It’s Gaudi-inspired sets, it’s gorgeous costumes, it’s dancing women, it’s mad, insane performances, it’s body-horror, Morbius is an artistic gift-horse. If you have the DVD check out Barry Newbury’s design sketches in the gallery. I would be a fool to even try and emulate them.

The Android Invasion

I love this story, it’s so unashamedly old-fashioned & nostalgic in it’s presentation of an action-adventure. So yet again I went for that old comic style inspired by annuals, all line art & blocks of colour.

Pyramids of Mars

All the angles of that mad Osiran architecture, the games, that sort of sneaks in here, and I wanted to give the page the feel of an old scrap-book too.

Planet of Evil

Planet of Evil

Quite pleased with the likeness of Tom. But no, I can’t explain the eye. What’s with that? I guess it springs from the forest spirits, the spying devices and the Mr Hyde plots that are woven into this story’s rich tapestry. Note the light & dark around Tom.

Terror of the Zygons

Terror of the Zygons

All those lovely organic Zygon shapes were a bit of a gift with this story! But on top of that I wanted to subtly suggest the secondary colours of the Scottish Moors that were so wonderfully faked in the original.
