Artist's Comments
For me this has been a labour of love, despite the fact that it's just a sketchy pencil drawing. Primarily done as something to amuse myself and my husband (and also to keep my drawing muscles well flexed), I wanted to attempt a representation of Doctors Eight and Ten... we're talking Doctor Who again, in case you hadn't guessed.
On the left is David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and on the right we have Paul McGann as the Eighth. Chris and I are huge Eight fans~ Tonight I was determined to draw these two crossing paths for some reason, and this is what came out. I didn't want Ten to be flashing a cheeky smile at his earlier regeneration; I decided to give him a more enigmatic expression. I think Ten's fun, silly side is mostly a front for his human companions. Such a facade would be superfluous if he was effectively facing himself, at least that's what I figure. Since Eight was the regeneration that lived during the Time Wars (dark, dark times), seeing him would probably hit Ten with mixed emotions. Yet, we see Eight here whimsically offering Ten a jelly baby from a little paper bag. So, in a nutshell... all's right with the world! Note for the slash fans... yes, of course my brain goes there. Oh, and that's the classic style TARDIS key in Eight's left hand, by the way... not the dumb Yale key they have these days! Tch! The faint symbol in the background is the Seal of Rassilon, associated with Gallifrey (the Doctor's home planet) and the Time Lords. |

I am in love with this!
(And eight, also! ^_^)
But honestly - that is....amazing!
...
I never thought I'd say this, but....I wish I could draw like that!
*is mesmerised by the lovely!*
(And I'm not just saying that because Eight and Ten are my favourites. Your art is gorgeous.

From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
Very well drawn.
Love your explanation. It makes sense.
...I want them to have sex...
Ah, shut up, I didn't say that!
I love Eight's profile and his poise. So cleanly lined, while Ten is in more of a characteristic slouch. Both of their hair gives me squeegasms, and proper TARDIS key FTW!
My only quibble is that the paper bag (jelly babies! *more squee*) seems too short. The bag should be taller, unless the sides were rolled down, in which case it wouldn't have the jagged-y edges on top. And Eight MIGHT be a bit too tall, but I'm crap with perceived distances. Apart from that, everything else is PERFECT! *abases and grovels*
Brava, brava, bravissima! Please draw more Eight stuff! Eight with Charley, Eight with Fitz, I'm not particular! Just more of your fabulous style!
Ah, the jelly baby bag is supposed to be one of those dinky white paper bags you get in traditional British sweet shops... I wonder if anyone still does those...?
Certainly I'd love to draw more of Eight, given the opportunity. I'd especially like to draw him and Charley!
