Prisoners of Time

dw_prisoners_of_time

If you need a reason to pick up issue #12 of Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time, then maybe this double-page spread will give you a taste of what’s waiting for you inside! All 11 Doctor’s in one time, one space. There’s also almost EVERY companion from the series in there as well.

It was great working on this last issue with Scott Tipton & David Tipton, Charlie Kirchoff and my editor, Denton Tipton! It felt a little like redemption for me after working on Doctor Who: The Forgotten #6. The deadline for that issue was terrible and I never felt like I did justice to Tony Lee’s script.

Hope you enjoy!

Deadwood Doc

doctorwho_deadwood_kellyyatesThis is the retailer variant cover for Doctor Who #14, quite possibly the last cover I’ll be doing for IDW’s Publishing run. Sad as that is, I feel blessed to be illustrating the final issue of Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time! More about that later!

For this Western inspired piece I wanted to go for something more tonal and pull in colors I don’t normally try. Orange and purple compliment each other so I thought that might be a great place to start and it just fell into place after that. Being able to lean on one or two colors that pull all the various elements together is one of my new and favorite techniques.

I also took this opportunity to incorporate my wife and kids’ names into the background. Hopefully, the kids’ will appreciate it someday!

Yee-Haw!

DragonCon Auction

dw_dragonconDragonCon 2013 is just around the corner and I’m excited to be attending for the first time since 1990. Needless to say, the show’s grown a little bit and I’ve become a Professional Artist during that span of time.

Since I’m attending as a guest I’m going to provide an item for their charity auction, so I decided to create this original 11×17 penciled and inked piece of the 11th Doctor in his latest outfit. If you’re attending DragonCon or know someone who is, please let them know that this piece will be up for auction during the show. Proceeds from the 2013 Charity Auction will benefit Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, Georgia Conservancy, and Marcus Autism Center.

Exclusive Newbury Comics Cover

doctor who_newburyThis is the exclusive cover to Doctor Who #11 that I illustrated for Newbury Comics. It was the first time I got to draw the new companion, Clara Oswald and the Doctor’s updated costume so that was fun. I think using the contrast between the vintage photo and the clean, crisp, blue wood of the TARDIS really worked and made this cover unique to some of the other ones I worked on. If you’d like to purchase a copy you can do so HERE.

I’ll have a few more covers to post in the next few weeks, but that’ll probably be it for Doctor Who. While at SDCC, I learned that IDW Publishing no longer has the license to produce Doctor Who comics. Obviously I was saddened by this news because I love working on Doctor Who and with my editor, Denton, at IDW.
