Blueberry Jam

Thanks for the appreciation! Incoming twelfth Doctor for you all. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34166136@N04/12180188263/ Feedback and criticisms welcome (and suggested). I'm sure I'll be back with more soon.

Sorry to return so late, but I come in peace and with updates. Firstly, http://www.flickr.com/photos/34166136@N04/12142653626/ Lay the feedback on me, I'll be more active the next few weeks with design work.

It's probably an unpopular opinion to dislike the tenth Doctor, but I'm not a fan. I'll still make him for the sake of completion, but I'll only really find the motivation when I've done all the others. As for the brown coat for four, it might require some different colours, but I'll get cracking.

That was one of my reference images - my thoughts were that it'd look odd if the hair and the sideburns are different shades of brown on a figure. If someone were to try both the hair shade of brown and a lighter shade on figure, we could probably see if it works and which works best! Trial and error it.

It seems the more I add to each one, the plainer and simpler my previous designs seem, and I keep thinking about how I can make them more complex. I could try removing the scarf details and upload that. See if it looks any better. When you say lighter, do you mean smaller, or less present, so to speak, or do you mean a lighter colour? The problem with the latter is that the official lego brown is quite dark, and the only lighter colours you'd find on hair are too light to pass as Baker. I'll play around and see what I can do.

Introducing the fourth Doctor. Either first or second Doctor coming up next; any preferences? As always, feedback of any kind would be wonderful! Things can only get better with practice and suggestion. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34166136@N04/9732524697/

Hey, Eurobrickers. Just updating with the third Doctor. All feedback is welcome. Criticisms, and suggestions for improvement are incredibly helpful to me, so please lay it all on me! http://www.flickr.com/photos/34166136@N04/9720300304/

I think McGann once said that the Doctor is really a hair role. My hope is that with the right hair, they'll feel and look like their Doctor. I've tried deconstructing faces by drawing in the shape and all the human features minifigs don't have, like noses and jawlines, and then removing them piece by piece to try and figure out how significant those pieces are to the individual's face. I think McCoy is all in his smile and eyes, appearing to always be planning something. McGann has this impossible youthful beauty (even now in his 50s), and his Doctor is very bouncy, very romantic about life - he always looks like pensive and peaceful, too. There's all these subtleties to his face, and to all the others that I may or may not be able to evoke with fine tuning. I'll definitely keep trying, though. As for McGann's coat, I did initially start with a much darker green, but that's the official dark green torso colour. It's kinda like how there's no adequate purple for eleven's longcoat, and so I tried playing around with colours to try and reach something that had the same effect. If I have time when I've finished all of them, I'll see what I can do for eleven's first oufit. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey again, all. While I was intending to do the fourth Doctor next, I got distracted and found myself in another country for a week. The food was good and so was the weather. Anyway, here's the fifth Doctor. As always, I'd love criticisms and suggestions for future improvements and future designs! http://www.flickr.com/photos/34166136@N04/9700766096/

I don't think double posting is against the rules here (I sure hope it isn't). I thought I'd update because the ever colourful sixth Doctor has joined the roster. I was intending to do four, but I just couldn't resist the coat! As a side note, I've made various adjustments to the other four Doctors based on suggestions made here. I appreciate all the feedback, hopefully the fine tuning has pressed out any wrinkles, but please keep laying your thoughts on me! Anyway, without further ado: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34166136@N04/9583956937/

Yes! Faces are particularly tricky when it comes to creating the look of the character, and keeping it design specific to lego. I just keep adding and taking away as part of my process anyway, so that I'm always innovating and never fall back on a design principle that could work for one thing but be horribly flawed for everything else. I'll keep editing and show you as soon as the fourth Doctor has reached a suitable level of completion. Thanks for all the feedback!

Thanks to you both. Anything you'd change? - Anyway, to the Commodore, four is in fact next on my list, and to Teessider, there's definitely more on the way!

Watcha, I thought I'd get started and show you all my current project. http://www.flickr.co...N04/9489870472/ I think the full-size image would've been beyond the forum image limits, so here's the link. Anyway, here are designs for the 7th, 8th, 9th and 11th Doctors. If anybody would be good enough to print them and show me what they look like on the actual legomen, that'd be wonderful (and seriously help with future proportioning if I'm way off) - I sadly don't have the time or know how to make what I draw into something physical, but hopefully these and any future designs are good enough to make up for the lack of actual building you're going to see from me. If you have any criticisms, suggestions for improvements and so on, lay them on me, and if there's a specific Doctor you want next, I'll bump them up the list for you. Later, Eurobrickers.

Thanks, it seems to work on Chrome!

Hey hey hey. I'm not great at introductions, and better at goodbyes, so this'll probably grate a bit until the end. I'm a graphics artist, this is my hobby - I've barely been around the community for the last 4 years - (I used to post on FBTB, but that was way in the past (pre-2009)). I'm glad to be here, and hopefully I'll be designing something for at least one of you very soon. ------------------------ If you're wondering why there were no paragraph changes, I'm wondering that myself. It might be my browser. --------------------------- Anyway, pleasure to meet you all.
