Description Fanart of Harry Sullivan from BBC's Doctor Who.

Yeah... so I'm working on a series of all my favorite Doctor Who companions. >_>

Uuuug. It took me waaaay too long to finish this, and you can't really tell. >_> I'm also afraid that the background looks better than Harry does, and that makes me sad.

And while I'm ranting about stuff no one should care about, I'd like to complain that when image searching on Google for "Doctor Who Harry," "Doctor Who Harry Potter" comes up in the auto-complete dealie, but not "Doctor Who Harry Sullivan." THIS OFFENDS ME. >:( Poor Harry deserves better than that.

I was going to draw Jamie next, but this comic [link] made me giggle and inspired me. I just thought I'd share.

The doctor who travelled with Doctor Who. Sorry, I had to. Bad, bad pun. Anyway, Harry Sullivan deserves every bit of affection and tribute rendered unto him. Thank you for making your lovely contribution to this most necessary body of work. You did a good job of showing the contrast between Mr. Sullivan and the adventures he went on, his glee is most notable.

Try it like this: Doctor Who/ Harry Sullivan. That always works for me. The / divides the search into two stages- like Doctor Who is the bookshelf, and Harry is the book.

Eta: I just tried it, and the FIRST thing to come up was: Harry Sullivan (Doctor Who) Wikipedia. Scrolling down, the search page was ALL Harry Sullivan: not a peep from Potter.

At first I was worried that it was a little to feminine, but then I saw an episode where he was doing almost that exact same pose. Oh Harry, this is why you're great.

He is great. I remember looking at a picture of him and he looked almost exactly like Dick van Dyke. Harry is so awesome he resembles Dick van Dyke. Wait, reverse that; Dick van Dyke resembles Harry, he is that awesome.

I know! I always want to say he's my all time favorite companion, but I think there's about five characters that I say that about.

I love it! The background is fantastic, of course, but then there's Harry Sullivan! So well done and immediately recognizable! (And so many exclamation marks here...) We definitely need more Harry Sullivan in this fandom. Of course I'm doing my part, but then I see this and it's just amazing! *insta fav*

lol! I was just looking at your Harry fanart and wanting to comment, but I couldn't think of anything to say other than "OMG OMG Harry is awesome! *spaz*" I figured I should check my messages while trying to regain my sanity, and that maybe later I could comment like a normal person.

But anyway, thank you so much~! I've always had a problem drawing faces that are distinct and recognizable, so your comment makes me really happy.

Psh. Normality is for other days.
Took me forever to comment because I was 'omg a;sldkfj it's Harry and it's the Ark in Space and I love that episode and omg look it's Harry!' *Sullivan spaz*
And you're welcome! <3

Totally! Poor, poor Harry. And it seemed as if he didn't even volunteer to go on adventures through time and space... Sarah and the Doctor were just all "Hey Harry, come check out this magic box, heehee!" and the next thing the poor guy knew, he was on a space station in the future.

Ohmygod, Harry Sullivan! One of my favourite Companions who almost never gets drawn. I love his expression and the overall style, and the background? One of my fave serials, too!

...Notorious

And I know what you mean! I never realized how little attention he seems to get until I started working on this piece.

Good enough to know who it was by the thumb...even b4 I knew it was a Dr Who pic. The cool thing about Harry was the actor Ian Marter was also a Dr Who novelist later on! Also wrote a few stories continuing Harry's career as a MI5 agent!

Yaaaay Harry Sullivan! He does definitely deserve more love, he's one of my favorite companions. Jamie, Harry, Tegan,
Sarah-Jane, Donna, Rory. Yep

Great job on this. The background is very good, but Harry looks good too; I instantly knew who he was

Oh man, I haven't met Tegan yet (I'm kinda a new Who fan ), but I love all those guys!

Thank you~! Trying to make him recognizable was a fun challange, and I'm really glad to hear it worked.

What? Doctor Who Harry Potter? Sounds like a really bad crossover. 8D;

Is this fellow from one of the newer shows? I haven't watched since...uh...1991... so I'm out of the loop here.

Otherwise I love the cel-shading and the lineart is super clean.

squidlarkin In reply to middletails [2010-09-25 23:44:52 +0000 UTC]

Oh god, I'm sure that crossover exists, and it scares me.

He's from like... the 1970s. Early Tom Baker time. Hung out with Sarah Jane a lot, and wouldn't stop saying "I say!" all the time. That guy.

Aw, thanks~

middletails In reply to squidlarkin [2010-09-25 23:59:33 +0000 UTC]

Cross overs are...well bad in general. XD Except a Tales crossover...

Oh wow. Okay that explains it. I've watched the series mostly in the 80's...the 70's I kindof watched here and there.

lol It's like the opposite for me! Most of what I've seen is from the 70s, and I've seen very little 80s stuff. I'd like to see more though!

HUZZAH FOR HARRY! Seriously the fandom needs more Harry. He is my favorite companion of ALL TIME! The fact that you made this just made my day. Great job!

I think I know how to solve the Google thing. We just need a ton of Whovians to search for him on google. I did notice that if you type in "Doctor Who Harry" on Google images, you do get alot of Potter stuff, but there is a picture of him on the first page, which is better than nothing for now.....

squidlarkin In reply to margflower [2010-09-25 23:36:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you~! It's so good to find Harry fans! I don't think I could ever say who my favorite companion was; I'm way to indecisive. I'll admit, while I love Rose, I feel like she has way too much fanart when there are so many other awesome characters. I feel like it's my duty to counteract this with as much not-Rose fanart as possible, because I'm awful like that.

Yes! Whovians unite to bring Harry to Google! That'd be great.

Lovely job on the lighting! Not that I am anywhere near an artistic expert, but I do have eyes. It looks GOOD. And thanks for sharing the comic. Harry's so cute.

Also. That offends me as well. In fact, it offends me so much I had to check for myself. IT'S TRUE. Oh the indomitable humanity!

Aw, thanks so much~! I had been working on it and staring at it for so long, that I honestly couldn't tell if it looked OK anymore. -_-

And I know what you mean! At first I thought I must have misspelled his name, and that he just spelled it weird or something. But no. The world is a cruel place.
