Description
I was recently contacted by the owner of the original art to this cover. He was interested in having a colored copy as a companion piece. It was a fun opportunity to revisit this cover and to actually work off a scan of the actual art instead of a bad reproduction. I originally colored this piece for Doctor Who Classics way back in 2008 (it doesn't seem like its been that long). Check out my original pass: [link]I think I've improved a bit.
Line Art by Dave Gibbons

Somehow, everytime I see this Dave Gibbons Artwork, all I keep making the Fifth Doctor think is: All this terrible matter through time and space, and I don't get any Ice Cream?!
Still nice colouring on the Who & NonWho related pages!

It's funny, I actually have the original comic. I remember it as feeling very dated. It's amazing how just a color change modernizes it so much.

Yeah, I have the entire run of the Marvel Dr. Who comics and loved Dave Gibbons' covers so I enjoyed recoloring it.

Big improvements from your first go at it! This really stands out. I love how re-coloring a piece later can show us how far we have come along.

Yeah, I know. And I usually don't have the time for it.

Both pieces are very nice. Although, I do like this one better.

Yeah, so do I. This is one of my favorite Gibbons covers so it was nice to have a second chance on it (of sorts).

Way better to work from the original as well I'm assuming.
