THE RETURN OF THE TIMETEAM!

The Timeteam feature I illustrate returns in the latest issue of Dr Who Magazine ( issue 495). It begins with Matt Smith's run as the Doctor with companions Amy and Rory. Below are the pencils and inks for the illustrations - check out the mag for the colour versions! Happy New Year!

SJS in the grip of the Hand of Fear.

This was the first of the Timeteams I did featuring the Doctor's assistants or companions as they are now known. There's a Hellboy cover like this which must of inspired my version I guess.

ASSISTANTS

Leela and Romana were recreations of  Timeteam drawings. Jo and maggots was added  to form a trio at the commissioner's request. I'm always interested in private commissions - email me at adrian.salmon@btinternet.com

Though I'm busy until the New Year - always happy to talk.

CAPALDI DOCTOR SKETCH

No guesses who I'm working on ...

UKCAC 96 SKETCHES

These sketches were done at the UKCAC 96 convention. I found them on sale on Ebay today and thought they'd be interesting to post here. I definitely drew both of these but don't really remember much more. Check out the link below if interested in bidding. I'm not affiliated with the seller in case you wondered!

Sir Christopher Lee , DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS finally rests

I've been a Hammer Horror fan since before the term was coined - back then we were just Hammer fans. Sir Christopher Lee obviously loomed large in the pantheon of their films and no more than as in Dracula Prince of Darkness ( his second outing as the Count). Lee brings a brilliantly feral performance to the character in this film in which he speaks no lines. Legend has it he read the script and thought it so awful he refused to speak his lines. Wether this is true or not it makes for another wonderful Hammer myth for fans to discuss. Below is a drawing I did for Little Shoppe of Horrors ( with newly added Technicolor). Dracula is about to force Diana to drink of his blood from a scratch on his chest. This idea originally came from Bram Stoker's book Dracula.

I'd like to thank him for all the entertainment he has given me over the years in his hundreds of roles. Rest in Peace finally.
