Description
Before Rose and River, there was Charley. Charlotte Pollard: "the girl who never was," for whom the Eighth Doctor would openly defy the laws of time and Time Lords and sacrifice everything to save. Though, in the end, it wasn’t enough....
*cries* I will never be over these two. Eight was such a snuggly Doctor (with seemingly no concept of personal space), and I imagine he and Charley spent many cozy evenings together like this in the TARDIS library...before everything went wrong.
...I couldn't resist having fun with the socks. XDArt ©Adele Lorienne; Doctor Who ©BBC

I'm okay, I just... need to stare at this picture for a few more hours.
Oh my god.

Oh my... (swoon) I always liked the sketch you did of this, and I never expected to see it fulfilled, but it has made my WEEK that you did!
(sigh) This is very probably the most gorgeous Eight and Charley fanart I've ever seen - possibly the most gorgeous Eighth Doctor picture I've ever seen. So lovely! And yes, they were so sweet... Eight is my favorite Doctor (you're right, in no version, books or audiodramas or even the comics, did he ever figure out personal space, and most of the time he's so loveable that no one cares) so this picture means a lot to me. I need to sit and look at it and say "d'awww..." for a while...
I zoomed in, you included the ball of string from "Caerdroia", now I need to lie on the floor laughing instead.
(Lucky you; have fun at Gallifrey One! I hope to get to go someday.)

lol, I wondered if anyone else would notice the ball of string! "Caerdroia" is one of my favorites.
Thank you so much for your comment! I've wanted to finish this piece for so long, but could only work on it little by little the past year and a half. Having an opportunity for India Fisher to sign it next month was the final push I needed.

I'm so glad you stuck with it, and what an excellent reason to complete the work! She will love it, I'm sure. The care and love you've put into this image really shows.
Oh, "Caerdroia"...I almost wish it was a standalone and not woven into the story arc (however incredible that arc is) so I could buttonhole more people and make them listen to it! The only thing that could have made a rare story by Lloyd Rose better was giving Paul McGann a chance to show off what he can do, and it's just magic. Of all the Big Finish audiodramas, that's easily the one I've listened to most often.
But this...this too is magic.

Just noticed the string ball and the Bible and Sherlock Holmes and Zagreus and so much details, I love it!

This is beautifully well done, and delightfully, romantically, cozy.
Have a wonderful time at Gallifrey One.

This is really great!! You captured the mood perfectly, a ton of points for that!!! How long did it take you, that background looks like hard work xD

It was! Straight lines and indoor perspective are not my strongpoints, and it took a lot of trial and error and reference. I lost track of the hours. Several weeks, off and on. ^__^;;;

Oh this is so lovely. I've only listened to a little bit of the audio adventures but when I can I will get my hands on more!
I love the socks! And the background is gorgeous.
I actually met Paul at SLCComicCon last year. He was so kind! And I was super awkward, haha!

Ohh, I am so jealous! Meeting Paul is at the very top of my geek list! *_____* I'm limited in my ability to travel, though, so unless he turns up at Gallifrey One again, it's probably not going to happen. I keep hoping, though! ^__^;;;

Eeep! Does Gallifrey One have a facebook page? I'd totally go plaster that all over their page and see if they can invite him.
Unfortunately I missed his panel. I was so sad. But then we went over to the tables and there were like 3 people in line and I was like WELP, I'm GONNA GO SAY HI.
And we got a picture with him! (the one in the bow tie) orig02.deviantart.net/121b/f/2…
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! If anyone deserves to meet him you totally do. Aside from my friend nagging me you're the other reason I started watching Doctor Who!

Yeah! And thank you, haha! I practiced walking like Eleven too, I regret nothing.
Also, probably for the millionth time, I just love your work. I've been following you since I was about 14? I think that's about when I found you on Elfwood, and I've learned so much from just following you and your work!
It's so beautiful! So THANK YOU! You've been a huge inspiration to me for a looong time.

Very well done. Thought I was only mistaking him for the 8th Doctor 😛

This is fantastic! You've colored it finally!
I just adore the background, so much detailes, the backs of books, Charley's memoirs even (and socks, how without them XD), and such tender

I love these two so much. More people really need to listen to his Big Finish stories. They are.... absolutely amazing. Some of the best, if you don't mind me saying so!
