This time we have some original ink art from the world of Doctor Who by Graeme Neil Reid.
This was done for fun back in 2002 and anybody who knows me knows I'm a big fan of Doctor Who. The idea was to take one of the original (as there was many versions) movie posters for the film Star Wars and do a parody poster for the Who story 'Remembrance of the Daleks' from 1988. The story has Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred as the Doctor and companion Ace battling those pesky pepperpots and just like the Eccleston story 'Dalek' from a few years ago this also had the great British public agog when the Daleks finally conquered the ability to go up and down stairs, yikes!
The prize is threefold this time. You'll own the original inked illustration which is on CS10 heavy art board and measures 45cm high by 39cm wide (if you click on the image to see it bigger you'll be able to spot where I cheated on the skirting of the Daleks by drawing it in Adobe Illustrator and printing it out to be stuck on the board, far too hard inking circles freehand you know!) and you'll receive an A3 print of the finished movie poster and (because I have two copies for some reason) you'll also get a copy of the 'Remembrance of the Daleks' DVD. (The DVD is for regions 2 & 4.)Terms of entry: 1. Only one entry per person. 2. Comments must be left by the end of 30th September 2009 to be entered into the competition. 3. The contributors to Scotch Corner will judge the comments left and decide a winner with the contributor supplying the prize having the casting vote. 4. The winner will be announced on the website as soon as a decision has been reached. 5. If the winner does not have a contact email address available on their comment profile then it is the winners responsibility to contact Scotch Corner at scotchcorner@me.com and supply mailing address details. 6. If the winner does not contact us after one full month a new winner will be chosen. 7. All decisions are final. 8. If you are unhappy with any of these conditions please do not enter.
"Have pity on me..."
ReplyDeleteSylvester McCoy .... I would have loved to have seen the daleks batter that wee prick... wicked picture though Mr Ried
ReplyDeleteAre the daleks more proficient at killing anyone plot related than stormtroopers? Plot armour is definitely highly superior to any other kind.
ReplyDeleteMay Davros be with you.
ReplyDeleteLove it
ReplyDeleteRemembrance is my favourite Who story and you've captured it brilliantly! Davros looks epic! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's Ace that is! (I'll get me coat!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect film comparison! A civil war Dalek story mixed with a story of an empire divided. Great image, great use of shadows. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHope to see more of your work!
Cool idea! Love the comparison to the Star Wars poster- excellant
ReplyDeleteThe brilliance of this image - like unlimited rice pudding.
ReplyDeleteThese pieces of art would look incredible framed on my wall.
ReplyDeleteMe please!
ReplyDeletemmm...the shadows should have been generated by the big ole flashy light thing that the Doctor is generating. Looks a bit like the Stockbridge artwork and is quite effective in colour.
ReplyDeleteFantastic poster.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. Always good to see the Special Weapons Dalek out on day release.
ReplyDeletegreat tone great texture great drawing great episodes great everything i dont no what else to say
ReplyDeletethat turned out quite nicely, didn't it?
ReplyDeletelove these
ReplyDeletereally want my son to see the series
When I saw this prize it bought a tear to my eye, Just thinking of how happy it would make our household gave me the power to get through the day. Your generosity demonstrates that despite war, famine, global corporate Armageddon, and impending destruction of all that we hold dear, there is hope. Hope and Love which can, if we work together get us through. If this artwork was on our wall, all the hungry orphans that I'd help if I won the lottery and had time would greatly benefit. Thankyou so much.
ReplyDeleteJust a simple entry to say that's some cool stuff and I'd love to win.
ReplyDeletea lot of people get quite arty farty on here with chat of composition and shadows etc etc, but still no-one is in agreement with me that Sylvester McCoy was indeed an annoying wee baw bag that should have been clearly blasted into space by a couple of bucky wielding Daleks screeching in their familiar tone "beeeat it mcCoy ya wee fanny"
ReplyDeleteMaybe Dr Who would have been more successful against Daleks with a can opener instead of the screwdriver, hmm?
ReplyDeleteGreat picture,is the 7th Doctor putting his hand up,to ask to be the Doctor again?
ReplyDeletegregedinburgh@blueyonder.co.uk
What a unique prize. It would be perfect for our play room.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves Dr Who. Would love to gift him something like this.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a die-hard fan of Dr. Who. Everything and I mean everything in her home comes to a halt when Dr. Who is on. She would owe me bigtime if I could win this for her!
ReplyDeletei could use it mverno@roadrunner.com
ReplyDeleteI'll swap you. Jar of my uncle Donnovan's ashes for this.
ReplyDeleteOr how about unlimited rice pudding?
My Uncle Declan would be so delighted if he were to come over to our house for tiffin and saw this picture on our wall, in an elegant frame, sympathetically lit. He once dreamt that he was Sylvester Mccoy and often reminds us of this fact.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally my Uncle Declan is fond of rice pudding.
More "exterminate" is always needed. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat design captures the essence of what I love about Dr. Who.
ReplyDeletehow cool dr who and star wars to.watch out the daleks just might try to exterminate the empire and star wars will have a new hero Dr.Who con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteNot that is way cool. It would be great in the playroom.
ReplyDeleteThe farce is strong with this one.
ReplyDeleteI would frame it and put it right above my bed-there is a place for Dr. Who in our house
ReplyDeletetiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
new house... many a bare wall... in fact this picture could have it's own room...
ReplyDeleteLove the artwork and love the episode it's from !! Superb work on this !!
ReplyDeleteBeyond cool. Would love to win this.
ReplyDeleteI honestly find the Daleks to be fascinatingly terrifying, as a monster.
ReplyDeleteWe heart Dr. Who!
ReplyDeletetheyyyguy@yahoo.com
Love the original Dr. Who (though am still catching up on the years between Tom Baker & Sylvester McCoy). Would be awesome to win this - my boyfriend would also love to have it up.
ReplyDeleteThat is well done.Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletemightynaynay@cs.com
Love it!!! Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteComment comment! Davros looks fantastic in the background there, awesome work!
ReplyDeleteWhen are you doing the poster for Dr Who Episode X: A New Who? :D
Sylvester McCoy is one of my favorite doctors. Nice!
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteI like this and would love to win the poster if possible.
ReplyDeleteThat dvd would look so, so sweet on my shelf.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's a big fan of "Doctor Who" and his favorite of the seven classic Doctors is Sylvester McCoy. He also adores Sophie (but he married me, so that's okay). He's also built a Dalek and Davros reproduction. And a cyberman. And three (or is it four) full-sized TARDIS reproductions. He already has the DVD, but I'm sure he'd enjoy any of the other wonderful prizes.
ReplyDeleteAppearing on BBC Wales Today, (July 20, 2004) responding to the question, "why do you think people love Doctor Who so much?"
ReplyDeleteRussell T. Davies: "Because it's the best idea ever invented in the history of the world"

Great! Can't Wait! It's Fate!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love Doctor Who. My dream someday is to make a Dalek cake. This illustration is...fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love this kinda stuff! Been a big fan of Dr. Who!
ReplyDeleteI also like to draw(not very good) but it relaxes me & it's fun!
