TARDIS Redux

[lomelinde_laurea]

Dipping my toe in over at drawesome with the Challenge 38: Redux - redraw any of your previous artworks.

I went digging and found this on one of my old hard drives: a TARDIS Christmas card I painted in 2007 for my Doctor Who friends, and I thought that one could be fun to redo. (And, since my brain has been eaten by due South recently, it got me thinking about a crossover story where young Ben finds the TARDIS one night and meets the 12th Doctor.)

I haven't used acrylic paint in ages. It was fun, though I now wish I had used paper with less grain (or one of the canvas panels I have kicking around). I feel like I need practice with this medium, but it was fun to do!

Acrylics are hard! The second definitely has a much more ominous mood. Nice!

[lomelinde_laurea]

Thank you!

Love the dramatic lighting in the redux version! Very atmospheric. And a young Ben finding a Tardis would so make his day!

[lomelinde_laurea]

Thank you!
And it would indeed. I can just see young Ben finding the library - and the Doctor's face when he finds him there, his nose stuck in a book.

Love the play of positive/negative space! It makes for such an interesting composition. Very cool. :D

[lomelinde_laurea]

Thanks! I do love playing around with that.

I love the depth you gave it in the redux! Very good use of perspective and shading :)

Thank you!

That is beautiful. I shivered.

Aw thank you! I’m so glad you like it!

Ooooh, I like it! I think the grainy paper works with the shadows on the snow. :) /not an artist

I like the idea of Fraser meeting Twelve, too!

[lomelinde_laurea]

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you like it!
About 1,000 words exist so far—Ben has already wandered into the Tardis, and Twelve is about to find him in the library with his nose in a book ;)

Oh, I like the repainted version a lot - the crisp starkness of the almost-monochrome colours is more dramatic!

[lomelinde_laurea]

Thank you! I really enjoyed playing with the light and shadow in the redux version.
