Description Done as a thank-you to skyglass_ who wrote a beautiful fic based on my request.
My request was for a story told from the perspective of the TARDIS. The TARDIS is sentient you know, and the 'old girl' has the ability to manifest her consciousness as a personage if she wants to (I feel the TARDIS has been rather neglected as a 'character' in the new Doctor Who). The story takes place after the events of 'Last of the Time Lords' (the season 3 finale) which aired here recently. If you wish to read the fic (any slashy elements are merely implied, so it's PG/G rated) then it can be found here :

Bear in mind that who you see here with the Tenth Doctor is not actually the Master himself, but rather the TARDIS' projection of him. Hence his expression looking rather out-of-character (not the all-out evil nutbar he usually is). I wanted to get him looking as close as the Master might possibly get to being compassionate, whilst having the detachment of a machine. So I gave him that sort of distant look in his eyes.

Whenever I do a fan-art piece like this I try hard to make the characters look like who they're supposed to be. I'm particularly happy with Tenth Doc on this one, though admittedly he's the easiest to get looking right out of him and the (John Simm) Master. I them both!

Drawn in pencil, digitally shaded/enhanced.

Oh, and if you want something of a lighter Doctor Who flavour, there is now Ten and Simm-Master (and TARDIS) chibiness in my Scraps! [link]

Dear Rassilon this is beautiful.

And I just read the fic linked in the description and I have to admit that I cried.

This is pretty good :')  When I saw this, I thought this was a reference to the "Last of the Time Lords" scene where the Master dies.
Even though this song is for Rose, I can just hear Doomsday when I look at this.

I have always loved this, it's been in my favorites forever, and now I'm wondering if I could use it as the cover image for my Simm/10 fanfiction on a different site. Of course I'd give you all the credit. So, pwease? :3

This is...moving. Sad and poignant. Your are very talented, the expressions are perfect, and I found the emptiness in the Master's eyes quite disturbing (given his usual moods). I guess that means that you achieved your goal representing him through the Tardis's "soul". By the way, this is a very interesting idea ! And well done for the shadows and positions too !
Amazing job

This is a terribly sweet drawing
And I like the direction they've taken with the TARDIS in one of the most recent episodes. She really is very alive and very sentient, and I'm sad that it took them this long to play around with her as a character.
Fantastic work, this picture, though!

As you may have noticed, I've been running through your gallery [giggling madly and happily] and I've come to a dead halt with this.
I've read the fic, too. <3!
But, oh, how perfect. This is perfect. If there were some special-super-duper-awesome favorite option, this would get it.

Very nice, I think the sepia works pretty much better than the coloured version. The shading and stance of the characters seems to lean more towards the sepia than the colour.

OOOOOOOh. It makes me happy and sad. I think I shall have to watch you, little miss!

I wanted to to a Simm/Tennant pic, but I can't draw Simm right at all. It's irritating me! (Because much as it surprises me, a slash bunny has surfaced and is plaintively asking for one little picture to satisfy it before it disappears forever.)

Niki-UK In reply to CyberPhantom [2007-12-12 19:43:24 +0000 UTC]

Eeeee! Thanks!
Oh, I agree that John Simm is very hard to draw. It took me a fair few goes before I reached a formula for drawing him that I was happy with. As for slash bunnies, have you seen the dw_slash and slash_lords communities on LiveJournal, perchance? More Simm!Master/Ten slash than you can shake a laser screwdriver at! If I wasn't so busy with work I'd be doing more illustrations like this, to accompany all the tasty plot-bunnies I've enjoyed reading.
