Some time ago, mod livii okayed that I could produce art for this ficathon, provided they could be used as banners/headers for the community. I wanted to do ten different pieces of art, for all ten Doctors and using ten of your lovely prompts. That proved more of a challenge than I anticipated! I decided to focus in on the three drawings that were most complete after new year's and just post those.

For tigerkat24, who prompted The Doctor and some of history's more famous disappearances. I chose Amelia Earhart getting a lift from One, Dodo, and Steven.



For stunt_muppet, who prompted There's a good reason the Maschinenmensch prop from Metropolis went missing after filming: it was a new-model Cyberman, stranded on Earth. Our Heroes (originally written with Four, Sarah, and Harry) must find it before it wrecks havoc on 1920s Berlin. I tried to make this one look a bit like a movie poster. Those are actual buildings in the Berlin skyline that were around in the '20s.



For brewsternorth, who prompted Assorted Doctors and companions, solo or in a group, drop in on the Algonquin Round Table over the course of (from the Circle's POV) one month. I drew my inspiration from Al Hirschfeld's caricature of the group. From left to right, I have included Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, and Alexander Woollcott. (Since the original image is from the 1960s, I imagine Hirschfeld drew Six and Mel from photographs or description.)



I had a lot of fun creating these, and I hope to finish the other seven some day! I hope you enjoy them. Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated.
