Paint Who: The Silence
Hi. It’s me, Chris Sigma, from The Ood Cast. A lot of people don’t know this about me (why should you?) but besides being a broadcaster I also rule MS Paint with an iron paint brush. That’s just a clever way of saying, I’m amazing at it.
So anyway, one of my fans suggested “Why not do a picture for every episode of Dr Who this season? You could do monsters or big story moments or paint the emotion of the scene or whatever”. I looked that fan in the eye and said “I will”. And the statement sort of hung there in the air like a gauntlet.
And then I started painting.
This is my first attempt. I literally drew this without stopping. I didn’t use an eraser once. I don’t really know where I can go from here in terms of excellence but I will probably pull something out of the bag.
This is my drawing for the first episode “The Impossible Spaceman”. I didn’t draw the spaceman because that would be TOO EASY. You don’t even see his face and that’s where the emotion is.
This is a silent. I am drawing him zapping a lady (off screen) with an energy bolt. I have written her name JOY in Times New Roman. The font of evil. It is the little things that make a picture.
(see also the crumbled suit, the skin hanging lifelessly from the neck and the pain in his eyes. Such lonely, eternal pain.)
Some people might point out that I forgot to fill in the background between his fingers on his left hand. But the joke would be on them because I left it unfinished on purpose in order to echo the unfinished painting of the Doctor we see at the beginning of the episode. This is called meta-textual.
BLAM!
