The Third Doctor

Continuing in my series of Doctor Who is the third Doctor- Jon Pertwee! Jon was a famous stage actor in England when he took over the part of the Doctor. He played the roll for three years and what was different about Jon's Doctor was that he was stuck on Earth for most of his regeneration! At the end of the second Doctor story "War Games" the Doctor's people,the Time Lords, put the Doctor on trial for interferring in the affairs of other worlds. The Doctor protested and tried to defend himself, but alas the Time Lords forced the Doctor to regenerate as punishment and banished him to Earth with his knowledge of how to operate his time traveling machine the Tardis, taken away from him.
The Time Lords let the Doctor choose what his next regeneration would look like and what he chose can be best described as Austin Powers age seventy! The same red velvet coat and pants. What the brits call a "dandy". He had thick grey hair and since the Doctor couldn't operate his Tardis, he built himself a car and called it "Bessie". The license plate on his car said, "WHO 1" (har-har, get it?)
The 3rd Doctor's run was when we were introduced to his greatest villian and arch-nemesis "The Master" The Master was another renegade Time Lord,but unlike the Doctor who wished to help other races, the Master sought to either rule them or destroy them! The Doctor did get his memory back of how to operate the Tardis in the 10th anniversary episode "The Three Doctors" where the third,second, and first Doctors all teamed up to take on the evil Time Lord Omega.
Ok on to the drawing. I gave this Doctor a background consisting of Gallifrean hieroglyphics. I started with a pencil sketch,then went to detail the pencils and went over that with Micron pens. I scanned the drawing and colored it in Photoshop CS. The whole thing all together took around three hours to complete from start to finish.
Next time I will talk about the most iconic Doctor of them all..... actor Tom Baker aka the fourth Doctor Who!
