Giftart for darthneko!

[yuletart-mods.livejournal.com]

Title:Timelord Victorious
Gift for: darthneko
Artist: harbek
Rating: G
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: The Tenth Doctor, Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones
Warnings: None. No spoilers.
Summary: The main piece is very vaguely inspired by last episode, hence the title, but it's just a portrait, so no spoilers.

Also included are sketches. And darthneko also requested "Ianto kicking ass", and I simply couldn't pass that up, so I drew that as a bonus.

Artist notes: Circumstances ate my face, and I completely ran out of time, despite a more ambitious beginning. I was very excited to get Doctor Who though, so it's not impossible I may eventually actually FINISH these sketches, but sharing will have to wait till after reveals.

Materials: Mechanical pencil on sketch paper, Photoshop CS4. References used are promo pictures.
Credit: The background is edited textures from Resurgere's Cosmos packages.

Hope you enjoy it, Rose!

Happy Holidays! ♥

Terrific pencils!

Wow. I don't watch Doctor Who, but these are great portraits. I especially like the action pose.

[fangirlism]

These are all so cool!

wow, these are gorgeous - fabulous likenesses, and really intense values. love the pencils.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Wow, those are gorgeous... especially the first portrait of the Doctor, and the picture of Ianto at the end (amazing shading!). The colouring and texture on the Doctor portrait are fantastic...

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Oh, lovely portrait-style work. Your likenesses are impressive! My favorite bit is definitely the "kicking ass" Ianto, though - hot damn, you've really captured a lot of intensity and motion there. The shading's gorgeous (it's hard to get that much contrast with pencil!), and I also particularly like your way with folds and creases in cloth. :)

WOW. The shading is amazing. I especially like the last one.

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! OMG, these are FABULOUS! I love your shading. WOW. I am in awe of your skill with pencils and the colors are great. Thank you so much! <3 <3 <3 <3 eeeeee! The Doctor is wonderful, Jack is wonderful, and at Ianto I made some sort of muffled noise that my coworkers thankfully ignored because that totally made my day. THANK YOU!

These are absolutely STUNNING. I'm incredibly in love with Ianto's clothes in the last one in particular. All so gorgeous!

Totally gorgeous. The first portrait is lovely, and Ianto kicking ass!! He looks so hot! Wonderful work. :) You have such a great skill for shading.

Awesome shading! Simple, elegant, very strong likenesses. I love pencil shading!

[nebst.livejournal.com]

These are very pretty! I particularly like the expressions on the Doctor's face -- it's very, very him, I think. The detail on the Ianto drawing is gorgeous, too; I'm really fond of his backlit jaw and the folds of his clothing. (And the pose is so dynamic!)

[dootchan.livejournal.com]

Wow, although I know nothing about Dr Who, I really admire this art! Such a lovely style!

Love how Who and Harkness are almost in the exact same pose and yet convey completely different aspects of their personalities, ahahahah!! And omg the action!Ianto, so hilarious in both the photo and your depiction. XD Great choices.
