Description
I've trying to work out what colours the Dalek Supreme's bumps should be... Technically, they should be blue, because that's how they were on-screen and how they are on the CD cases for Dalek Empire....but would some continuity with the Renegade Supreme from Remembrance work better...?I'm not sure it looks right like this though...
Oh well, shall have to mull it over.
Oh - and yes - that weird one is the Dalek Time Controller (details here: [link] ; original depiction here: [link] ) in all his groovy glory. I went with a mix of the two versions, mixing the colours up and working the floaty ball of timey wimey stuff into a more defined mechanism. The gyroscope rings, however, are floating freely, because intersecting them would have gotten messy. I'm guessing magnets and some sort of vortex containment field.
The Daleks belong to the Terry Nation estate. Nick Briggs invented the Dalek Time Controller, and jolly good it is too.

Would you every consider doing another image like this, but including the red Supreme controller as well? It's just I think it would make a good Desktop wallpaper, but it feels, to me, like its missing something without the red Dalek.

Well, this was a WIP shot rather than a finished one - I did this as a tribute the Dalek Empire, which contains the red terror himself: librarian-bot.deviantart.com/a…
I may well end up doing some sort of proper collection shots to gather together the Daleks of each era at some point.

I've seen a couple of those, yeah. There's a lot of nice CGI Dalek work floating around Youtube!

That's impressive. Thought they were action figures for a moment.

Thanks - I'm getting better at using Blender's material settings.

I love the Time Controller! The blue dome lights are a neat touch.

Thanks - I thought it made sense to have the same light both there and in the centre.

Uhmm, I'm sorry for a dumb question.
Is Dalek Time Controller controlled by a dalek mutant? Or it's a robot?

Librarian-bot In reply to Alompopo [2012-09-08 18:50:05 +0000 UTC]
Not a dumb question at all, especially if you haven't heard the audios it features in! It's controlled by a Dalek creature, or at least there is no indication it's not. It's voice sounds rather like Dalek Caan's, post-Time-lock breaking, though considerably more sane.
My version of it, which features rather more mechanical bits inside the neck, is set up so that the creature is housed further down inside the skirt than it would be on a normal Dalek. At least, that's one way of getting it to work. The other option is that the casing is bigger on the inside, which might actually be the better way of taking the design...

Well, thanks for the answer
In my opinion, Caan wasn't mad. In dalek point of view, of course, he was considered as "abomination" by having emotiont such as remorse, humble and sadness. But in the end of the episode he sound so much sane, it's like he was playing insane just for manipulate Davros.
