Description
11 out of 13 Doctors done so far, just 2 more to go
For the Doctors second incarnation I needed someone young, playful, maybe a little elfish and unusual as Patrick Troughtons Doctor was a lot more like a playful fool than a wise wizard of his first incarnation.
I came up with Link fairly quickly as the Legend of Zelda pretty much takes place in a fantasy setting, and though Doctor Who at the time wasn't as heavily portrayed as a fantasy show the look and character of the 2nd Doctor certainly painted someone right out of the world of fantasy. Link was also quite energetic and depending on which version of Link you look at could play any air based musical instrument, from an Ocarina to a blade of grass, which fits in with the 2nd Doctor who often played a tune on his recorder whenever he needed to think.
This Doctor was the first one to misdirect his enemy's. He comes across as the ignorant, playful fool, but that was just a shroud that hid his keen and powerful intelligence, his enemy's would greatly underestimate him at their peril and the 2nd Doctor would pounce at the last minute and defeat whatever evil he came across. At times he could be quite manipulative to both his enemy's and in rare cases even his friends, but would do so in such a subtle and charming way you'd be forgiven for thinking he was an idiot.
The reason the hair is more a dirty blond than the very vivid yellow was because Patrick Troughtons hair was in fact jet black, and though I started out with his hair being brown I decided to make it a balance between blond and dark which gave me a dirty brown. This was so the character was still recognisable as Link, yet at the same time it's not supposed to be.
This Doctor met his end at the hands of his people the TimeLords. Having stolen a TARDIS and ran away in his first incarnation the TimeLords eventually caught up with him and put him on trial. The charge? Interference in the affairs of other peoples and planets, the punishment for which would've been Termination but the Doctor's plea that there was evil in the universe that must be fought before it becomes too powerful for even the TimeLords to defend against reached the right ears. So instead the TimeLords reduced the sentence to death of his current form (Regeneration) and banished him to Earth, a planet he was most familiar with, with the TARDIS disabled and portions of his memory wiped so he couldn't repair his time ship.
This Doctors era also saw the introduction of Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart (Who'd later become a Brigadier), the invention of UNIT and made the Cybermen what they are today. (True they started in the first Doctor's era but they weren't that great to start out with.) The pure historical stories were also abandoned in favour of more heavily science fiction based stories. The era also introduced the Great Intelligence, a none physical creature who pestered the Doctor on 2 occasions but always managed to escape, then it vanished for a long time only to return in latter portion of the 11th Doctor's era by which time the Doctor had practically forgotten about it.
In fact in my own personal opinion. It was during this Doctors time when the Doctor actually decided he didn't want to just study the universe and experience it as his more scientifically minded first incarnation did. He wanted to actively fight evil and injustice wherever he found it. This was when the Doctor started to become more of what he would recognise today as the Doctor.

I beg you. Please. Don't mess the time line up like steveon Moffet did. YOU ARE AMAZING! (RaMBLE)

Thanks
Capaldi is great so far and I feel the season is stronger than last season, Clara is given a lot more to do and seems to interact better with 12 than she ever did with 11. However I have to admit there are episodes in there I feel are just 'clunkers' like Kill the Moon (Which felt like a leftover from the Matt Smith era), and a couple have had moments that took me out of the story.
But on the whole I think the quality of story telling is greater than it was last year and I just hope they continue the upward trend. (Though Kill the Moon was a big dip in qulaity.)
I have to admit though Steven Moffat is very good at plot ideas. However I find he often fails in his execution which I chaulk up to his ideas of trying to make each era fit a catagory, Matt Smith was fairytale, Capaldi's I'd say is more about Legends. But where Doctor Who succeeded in the past is that it mixed it all up in each era so you have a greater range of storytelling. Sticking to Fairytale resulted in problems, though a few times it worked like "the Doctor's Wife", most of the time it felt like it was constantly tripping over itself and barely catching itself in time, like Matt Smiths 3rd season and in some cases fell flat on its face, "Beast Below, Rings of Akhaten, Time of the Doctor."
I just wish Moffat would give us the same quality of writing and story he's giving everyone in Sherlock rather than deliberatly pandering to the younger audience.

I 100% agree. season 1-5 was great! season 6-7 as TERRIBLE! I got so sick of amy and rory i was glad they got killed off. I got bored with river song, and hated the fact that she was melody pond ( couldn't think of anything better moffet?) and clara is soooooooo bland. It's a shame too, cause i liked matt smith. he was a great doctor. I could rage for hours.

Ditto, River Song started out with such promise and she became one of those characters you wish had just stopped at her first apperance.
I think Clara is becoming better as a character, however her attitude towards the Doctor in Deep Breath was really irritating. This was a girl who knew of previous Doctors and had even met and seen all of them in one aspect or another, so I didn't get why she'd acted like this was all a total shock to her and even act like a stuck up little witch.
I honestly wasn't that big on Matt Smith in his early stuff TBH, I thought his Doctor wasn't original enough. There was far too much Patrick Troughton in his portrayal and costume for me to take him very seriously and at the same time not different enough from David Tennant in respect to the bouncy energy he has. I kept watching 11 as if he was a second Doctor cosplayer instead of one of the actual Doctors. It's a shame because Matt Smith was a very good actor, I just wish he didn't try to emulate what worked before because he comes off as a poor portrayal of 2 in my eyes. That was until the last half of his final season when he started to feel more like an original Doctor both in portayal and costume and I wish we'd gotten to see more of the later 11, but sadly he left not long after that.
Same here, I'm a fan of both versions classic and new so I'm emersed in all things Who.

I actually liked claras reaction in deep breath, but you make a good point.
also 50th or 11s death......-_- don't get me started. I did like matt smith, and I don't think he was to much like the 2nd doctor, but there are similarities.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think Clara would've been better if she started out like that, but then said to Madam Vastra during her explination... "You know what. You're right! I'm being stupid. The Doctor has changed before and I can see he's the same man as before. I guess it was just the shock." Then a lot of the problems are avoided.
I liked the 50th though it was more a 10th Anniversery of the new show rather than 50 years of Doctor Who from start to finish.
I'd have to disagree here, I have met plenty of people who see Troughtons Doctor and say they see "Matt Smith in his preformance" so the similarities that are very strong, and that is the problem I have with 11, the similarities aren't very subtle, or not subtle enough. If you watch an episode of 10 then one of 5 and then 4 the similarities between 10, and 4 + 5 are so subtle you don't notice them unless you're really thinking about it. With 11 and 2 however the similiarities are just so glaringly obvious.
But as I said, I liked 11 close to his end, when he lost a lot of the bouncyness of 10 and though he kept some of the hand gestures of 2 he was behaving properly like the old man in a young mans body.

I haven't seen much of partrick troughton, so maybe that's why I didn't see many similarites. But we can agree on this: All the Doctors may have flaws, but they are all great.
as for the 50th, I liked parts of it, like when the 10th doctor and 11th doctor meet, but the war doctor was pointless. Because of him, now the time line is messed up. Also that ending. Steavon moffet is just like :' Duh, the time war didn't destroy galliefry, It was a misunderstanding the whole time!' I hated that ending. I don't like the war doctor.
Also matt smiths last episode was really insulting to me. They didn't think of a cool heroic way to kill him off. I'm just glad for his cameo in deep breath. I got to say good by to a doctor that i felt was cheated. ( I could rage for HOURS! )

Aye, probably. Check out the episodes Tomb of the Cybermen, Enemy of the World, Web of Fear (1 episode missing mind), Mind Robber and The War Games. They are probably the best Pactric Troughton stories that survived the BBC purge of their archieves in the 70's.
I kind of liked the War Doctor, he was a Doctor who had seen so much and looked a bit tired. I think the idea of a missing incarnation was cool but I just wish the War Doctor would've been a little less Doctor-ish or seem to act less Doctor-ish since he was the incarnation who said he was the Doctor No More and became a Warriror. At the end of it I was more convinced John Hurt was the Doctor more than I was of Matt Smith in most of his era.
But according to some sources the War Doctor only existed because Christopher Ecclestone wouldn't reprise his role of the 9th Doctor because of BBC politics.
Yeah, Matt Smith (Though not my favourite Doctor) deserved a better end to his run (I wouldn't force Time of the Doctor onto any Doctor). I think he should've got caught out by a character flaw of his own that ended in his own destruction. Like his attention seeking personality or his overly showing off aspect of him gets him and his companion into deep trouble where he can't possibly win.
Time of the Doctor as it stands was just a long, boring story of a man growing old and nobody wants to watch that. Honestly at the end of it I was so bored Matt Smiths leaving speech didn't even move me. I just wanted to see Capaldi at this point.
But you can't change the past unfortunatly, unless you have a TARDIS

I almost gave up on doctor who until Capaldi. He saved it for me. He's awsome, and I want to know who missy is! 
Instead of a war doctor, they could have used the 8th doctor. He came back for the short, and they could have killed him off in a cool way, like saving his future self or something. just saying.

That could've worked too. It would've been interesting to see what Paul McGann would've been able to do with a rougher version of the 8th Doctor, war worn and troubled.
McGann was actually supposed to play a type of character I think could've mirrored the War Doctor quite well. Major Richard Sharpe (from the TV show 'Sharpe') a rough, military type of character who was smart and intelligent at times, ignorant in some cases, but also quick on his rifle and willing to take a life (McGann dropped out due to an injury and the part was given to Sean Bean instead.) I could kind of see the 8th War Doctor being that type of character, but alas. It was not to be.
What did you think of Night of the Doctor mini episode?

a bit forced. If it was a little longer it might have been better for me.
I'm glad you agree. 8 would have been amazing.

Impressive. Why did you take the 2nd Doctor title sequence ? Was it for a bit a bit of nostalgia ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Umm... because it is the 2nd Doctor. :S
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand that. So why didn't you take the title sequences for the 10th and 11th Doctors for your drawings ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because at the time I was just content with using the vortex I created myself.
If you look at Doctors 3-7 (I intend to do the same to 1) they all have snippets of their titles sequences.
If your question was, why am I now using bits of the titles sequences for each respected Doctor then the answer pretty much is, yes, it's for nostalga reasons and to reflect that this is the Doctor the character in question is portraying.

All right. Well, good luck for number 1. Will it be before the end of this week ?

Maybe, might be a little later. I'm going on Holiday in a few days time.
