Description NaArMaMo 2008, Day 4: Davros

Doctor Who fan art featuring Davros as seen in the season 4 finale, The Stolen Earth/Journey's End.

This is my forth piece for this year's (Inter)National Art Making Month, in which you create a new piece of art every day in August.

This was drawn on a tablet PC using the airbrush tool only. Total time spent, 3 hours. Of which 20 minutes was the completely removed sketch layer.

I decided to challenge myself and only use the airbrush this time. Davros' face is all one texture but with lots of wrinkles and veins, so it's a good subject to airbrush. I was planning to also draw the shoulders and metal brace Davros sits in, but ran out of time, instead 'suggesting' these with darker areas in the background.

I'm really quite happy with how this has turned out, especially the detail seen at full size. Although I notice that it's become slightly lopsided -- davros is supposed to be leaning slightly to one side, but I think the features have ended up leaning slightly more than the head.

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, the Daleks or Davros, this is solely fan art, I do not claim any ownership of the characters or show.

Oh wow in only three hours?! GEE. I'd absolutely LOVE to see you do a full serious piece. I'd even commission you if I had the money

I'm just hoping now that the suggestion will plant itself in your subconscious and one day you'll wake up with it all drawn out.

You can tell I reallllly like Davros.

According to Terry Nation's novelisation of Genesis of the Daleks, and the Big Finish Davros audio plays, Davros was a normal able bodied Kaled scientist before being horribly injured in a Thal nuclear attack.

i dunno that much about kaleds and thals, except that after the nuclear war thals became blue hippies and kaleds became brains and used armors davros built for them before the war, i guess davros forseen the war? lol

why didnt davros transform into a brain though?

also, notice the resemblence of the story to that of cybusman? XD

Rent or buy or borrow or 'obtain' Genesis of the Daleks and watch it now! Vital viewing for Daleks/Davros fans!

I'd tell you more but it would be spoilers for Genesis, one of the best Doctor Who stories ever!

I can't help - I just can't resist the urgent need to shout it out : Squeeeeee!

I love that pic!

I can't believe you did that 'only' by airbrush ^^
Great work! *staring lusting at it* ^^

Thank you!

I got the effect by drawing in all the wrinkles and features using a wide brush, then I got progressively darker and narrower. Then I added red tinting as required, then the lighter coloured highlights. I probably drew over all the features at least 50 times.

Well - That's very familiar to how I am colouring pics as well *hehe*

However - I love your Davros - I could squeeze him ^^
(Now that would be worth a pic too LOL)

Ah good to know I self-taught myself the correct method then

...unlike when I taught myself to play the flute...

Don't squeeze too hard, you might get a shock!

Well - Just as I said - You keep improving your airbrush skills ^___^

(I might get a shock? Rather somebody who gets squeezed by me would get a shock himself LOL)

It is an excellent mask they use in the show, I love how they've built up the eye sockets on the actor's cheeks slightly so they look impossibly concave and hollow.
