Fan Art Site Shout-Out 2 of 5: “Dr. Who” at doctorwhofanart.tumblr.com

There must be something about the Good Doctor. Not only is “Dr. Who” a “Guinness Book of World Records” holder for longest running sci-fi series, the show had my 10-year-old daughter hooked after one viewing during a recent sleepover at a friend’s house. Although the fan art sites for this show are as plentiful as there are incarnations of Time Lords, much of the depictions seem to be of the most recent portrayals, mainly the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors (David Tennant and Matt Smith respectively). This may be due to the fact much of the art on this wonderful Tumblr site I ran across was created by fangirls, and some pretty talented ones, to boot. I just can’t see too many go dreamy-eyed over Patrick Troughton or Tom Baker (although the later will always win for niftiest scarf in my opinion). I did like this classy little portrait of the Eighth Doctor played by Paul McGann (center left), along with the “Beauty and the Beast” style pas de duex paper-cut work. Of course there are plenty of Daleks and TARDIS depictions, but for some reason the blueprint of the Sonic Screwdriver caught my eye. You gotta love the Dalek birdies, though. I must get these in a set of greeting cards.Check out more at doctorwhofanart.tumblr.com.
