Artist's Comments

Drawn for Paul McGann (who plays the Eighth Doctor in Doctor Who). He was a guest at Invasion, a Doctor Who convention my hubby and I recently attended.
I gave Paul the original drawing and made a printed copy for myself which I got autographed by him. :aww:

Incidentally I also showed Paul my ball-jointed doll in Eighth Doctor gear. :D Initially he joked about its spookiness but he seemed to become rather fascinated with it! I achieved my dream of getting a photograph taken of my hubby and I with Paul holding the doll. :w00t:

Mr. McGann is an ultimate hero of Chris and I, so it was a brilliant experience actually meeting him this past Saturday. He really is a super bloke, very personable and lovely to speak to. Some say you should never meet your heroes because you'll only end up disappointed... but I say cobblers! That's really not the case... at least, not if you've got good taste in heroes! ;P

Eeeeee! Just checked out your Five! :love::+favlove:
That is pretty spooky with our synchronised DW artses, arf! :D
Paul autographed over a thousand times that day... he must have been knackered! But I hope he was happy to get something back for a change. ^^; He seemed especially happy with his photo of my BJD (he got the photographer to take one for him so he could show his son)! :boogie:

I love how you've drawn his hair and his eyes really stand out nicely.

Note to self: make Paul McGann personal hero on off chance of meeting him.
