Description Illustrated in Deleter #3 Black Drawing Ink with Crow Quill Pen and Brush on Canson Smooth Bristol Board.

A second illustration of the Fourth Doctor and the Master. This time I decided to do an amalgamation of the Master as he appeared in both The Deadly Assassin and Keeper of Traken. I thought both the mask used in Deadly Assassin and the makeup used in Traken to show the Master as a burnt out husk in his last regeneration were great. So, I wanted to use both ideas when I was illustrating the Master.

I was also inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's interpretation of the angel of death in Death of the Miser for the look of the Master's face as well.

The Fourth Doctor's costume is directly taken from June Hudson's gorgeous costume design from Tom Baker's last season as the Doctor. I also had Dave Gibbons design of the Fourth Doctor as reference as well while I was designing the costume.

The way I designed the scarf was actually taken from an earlier Sherlock Holmes illustration I had done a couple years back titled "The Valley of Fear".

This picture is very atmospheric and creepy. I love how you've captured the Thirteenth (or whatever he was) Master. To be honest, I wasn't really crazy about the costume in his last season (i liked the coat, but i missed the old scarf) but you have made me like it!

I liked the design of the Fourth Doctor's costume and how ridiculously large his scarf was. But I agree, I did miss the multicolored scarf from his previous costumes.

The Master looks very sinister, and your rendering of the Fourth Doctor's outfit is nicely sombre. The two figures compliment each other very well.
