Fan-Art: “I Love New Planets”

This is the first of what will hopefully be a new, semi-regular feature of DWF of some of my fan-art of Doctor Who and its spin-offs. This first piece of artwork is called “I Love New Planets”, reminiscent of the Eleventh Doctor’s line in ‘A Christmas Carol’.

I drew this just last night and I'm pretty damn proud of it as it was just meant to be a silly little doodle at first.

It's based around the moment in Doctor Who's 2010 Christmas special, 'A Christmas Carol' when ,on an Earth-like planet where the fish swim in the fog, the Eleventh Doctor sees some small fish swimming around a street lamp and says, "I love new planets..."

NOTE: I'm also planning on updating it with the street lamp's light and shading.

Series Six Trailer!

Wasn't 'A Christmas Carol' brilliant? And on top of that we were treated to the traditional 'Coming Soon' trailer, this time a one-minute trailer for Series Six, featuring most-notably the TARDIS team in the desserts of Utah and sweeping dessert helicopter shots, alongside The Doctor in the White House's Oval Office, a familiar beard-y man, creepy dolls, and other pretty exciting prospects...

"I wear a Stetson now... Stetson's are cool."

Fez-tacular Figure!

Steven Moffat has revealed a bit of information of what seems to be a possible and probable future Character Online Doctor Who action figure of Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor in his full Series 5 costume, but with trademark fez accessory and… wait for it… mop from ‘The Big Bang’!

These are The Moff's actual tweets: 
@steven_moffat Steven Moffat
”I have an 11th Doctor action figure WITH A FEZ!!!!!”

@steven_moffat Steven Moffat
”Also ......... A MOP!!!"

No official announcement or any kind of leak of photos have been made as of yet, but I’m certainly keeping my fingers crossed.

New Series Novelisations Project!

I am currently involved in a collaborative project with two others where we are developing a series of novelisations of new series episodes of Doctor Who (2005 onwards).

The project is being done by me (James, owner, writer and graphics designer of Doctor Who Fansite – I am writing some novelisations and producing the covers for each), Emma (owner of the blog Tardis Console News who is writing), and Eternal who is also writing some of the novelisations and, excitingly, has already completed one, but you'll have to wait to find out which!

Keep checking DWF and Emma's site Tardis Console News for more news soon!

Amy Pond Kissogram-Outfit Action Figure

The Mirror ‘newspaper’ has recently reported the news of an upcoming action figure of Amy Pond in her Policewoman kissogram costume outfit, but it seems this time the red-top tabloid may be telling the truth, as their article on the subject features a photo of the said action figure, which could be proof.



We have no confirmation that this is an official action figure as of yet, but The Mirror claims that it will be released in around two weeks time.
