Time Ram - Dude, Where’s My Yeti?
Russell T. Davies brings back another classic monster in this sequel to the beloved Peter Davison serial “The Abominable Snowmen,” which sees David Tennant’s Doctor reunite not only with Martha Jones, but also Michael Palin as Professor Travers! No old age makeup required, thirty years have actually passed for him.
But that’s not all that the Doctor and Donna have to contend with; the creeping fungus has everyone trapped underground, and there’s a traitor in their midst. Could it be the cool and collected Col. Magambo? The beautiful and brilliant Ann Travers? The cowardly and not Welsh Private Evans? The unassuming Weems Weeeeeeems? Probably not Weeeeeeeeeeeeeems, he died halfway through episode one. Alas, poor Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeems.
And on top of all that, they’re stuck on the Underground with Piers Morgan. It’s nearly as tough a situation as picking a fight with Douglas Camfield and his yeti-sized titanium balls! Mind the gap!
Time Ram: A Good Man Fucks Us Up
Don’t be lulled by the Easy Yellow alert; this is Time Ram’s darkest hour, as our hosts must find a way to make A Good Man Goes to War in the Troughton era, without any earlier Rammed stories to draw from. Lucky for me, it’s now two years later, so I can confidently say that the Doctor goes to Demon’s Run to rescue Polly, allied with the Silurians, the Kaldor Robots, the Robo-Pleasence, Sabalom Glitz, all of whom are now from the Hartnell era, and the Meddling Monk, who isn’t! Or something like that, probably. Ben cusses out some cybermen. Susan’s ring results in hyperbabies. Continuity is probably going to keep collapsing even worse now. Oh my giddy aunt…
Featuring Diana Rigg as River Song and Stephanie Bidmead as Madam Kovarian!
A fursona for my good pal punkrockbuttrfly on tumblr!
Art Fight
Unfortunately there are some technical difficulties in putting direct links to my Art Fight pieces in here, but here's a link to my attack gallery. There are also some reference sheets featuring character designs for The Sunset Archives. Hint, hint, if anyone reading this happens to be a regular Art Fighter.
August
In August, I did a themed month around monsterfucking, and all my art is therefore too NSFW to post here.
With one exception.

They have their ways of leading travelers astray...

Time Ram - Removal of the Daleks
After disabling the dismal Dynotrope with Mel (see: The Krrrrotons), the Doctor must face off against its siblings; Allotrope and Terry Tropes. Keff McCulloch is ‘avin’ a wank, along with the entire planet of Spiridon. The Thals have crashed their pantry. The Dalek Supreme has its balls in a vise and Davros has a bomb wedged up his crack. Meanwhile, Ace has fallen in love with the invisible man and Sylvester McCoy is doing his best slippy acting. It could only happen on Time Ram: now with 40% more Abslom Daak!
Doctor Whooves in The Pilot! Bonus, I’ve hidden one reference to every TV Twelfth Doctor story in this image – how many can you spot?

TARDIS Tarot: Leela as the Knight of Swords
Mentiad’s having a rough day.
Time Ram: The Co-Pilot
You WILL get wet. You MAY get soaked. It’s Time Ram, with Barry Williams (not the cricket writer), Paul Ferry (not from Maggie), and Rupert Booth (NOT the fucking bear!!!). And it’s the beginning of a new era of the Fourteenth Doctor’s new spinoff with The Pilot. Starring David Againnant as the Doctor, Bonnie Langford as Mel, and Venita Richie Millie Gibson Anya Westbrook Eva Sharples June Brown Poloma Faith the robot Donald Pleasance Kim Kardashian Fearne Brady Rose Matafeo Awkwafina as Jill Trude. Yes. Good.
Tennant’s taking a page from ol’ Chronotis’ book while talking fourteen to the dozen. Mel’s arm is Mel-functioning after watching attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. And there’s really not much to change, actually, so tune in for the lads pitching a series of films starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine!
Doctor Elysium
These are the result of a thought I’ve been throwing around in my head of a Disco Elysium-style interpretation of the EDAs’ Earth Arc, in which the amnesiac Eighth Doctor bumbles his way into solving a crime with dubious assistance from the multitude of voices in his head, echoes of previous companions and past selves.
Electrochemistry (4): Don’t be rude! Offer them a stiff drink or five. And a jelly baby. Mustn’t forget the jelly babies.
Endurance (Compassion): So it’s a bit cold out. Boo hoo. If I could get by with a randomizer stuck in my gullet, you can turn up your bloody collar and get on with it!
Half-Light (Victoria): Oh god not again. Have you tried screaming yet? It has been known to be effective…
Pain Threshold (Steven): Wait, who’s writing this one? Kate Orman? Ah, fuck. Sorry Doc. This is going to hurt in a peculiar and interesting way.
Physical Instrument (Jamie): I dinnae think ye can talk yer way out o’ this one. Ah, well. CREAG AN TUIRE!
Shivers (Leela): That man is eyeing the far door quite a lot. You should put a knife through his sleeve and pin him to the table before he makes a move.
Conceptualization (Sam): Yes, the medium and the piece itself are rather crude, but look closer at the message the graffiti sends. Is this not the cry of a world desperate for change? For revolution? Pick up your spraycan. Make your own mark.
Drama (Frobisher): Well, this is another fine situation you’ve gotten us into. Fine, they want a hardboiled detective? Well, we’ll give them a hardboiled detective. Or at least one that’s a little poached.
Encyclopedia (Mel): There are 304 worlds on which this type of metal is mined or regularly used, 85 whose weapons would leave a laser residue like this, 57 which have developed this type of warp engine, and only one whose primary species exudes a characteristically mint-scented slime. Unfortunately, your burned and broken brain can’t recall their name, weaknesses, or any further identifying information. Sorry!
Logic (Adric): This ‘football’ business all seems very silly. Perhaps you could talk them around to engaging in recreational mathematics instead?
Rhetoric (6): Lunatic? Lunatic?! LUNATIC?!? Ohhhh, that cannot be allowed to stand, even if it is true! Give him a piece of our mind!
Visual Calculus (K9): Calculations show that bullet entered the window at a 15-degree angle at a distance of approximately 35 feet, confirming position of the perpetrator with 98.995% precision. Query: Good Boy confirmed?
Composure (Tegan): Don’t let her know she’s got to you. Hide it deep, below layers of shouting and sarcasm. Brave heart.
Hand-Eye Coordination (3): Good, you’ve got him monologuing. Now, old chap, carefully so he doesn’t notice, grab his hand and flip him over your shoulder. HAI!
Interface (2): Ah, a computer, wonderful! Let’s see how quickly we can break it.
Perception (Susan): The noises are all around you. A car backfiring. A dog barking. The distant wail of sirens. But underneath it all, there’s something else, so alien and yet so familiar. You can’t remember what it is, but it calls you all the same.
Reaction Speed (Ace): Come ON Professor, you can go faster than this. You’ve hardly been moving for decades now. Would a little adrenaline kill you?
Savoir Faire (Peri): Okay. He’s flirting with you. He’s not, as far as any of us know, a shouty megalomaniac with some kind of mutating ray, so that does put him above most of the people that flirted with me… What the hell, let’s go for it.
Authority (1): Would you care to repeat that young man, mm? Show him you don’t care about his opinion. Get his name wrong on purpose.
Empathy (5): Ah. They seem to be growing impatient. Not, admittedly, uncommon in our line. Next comes annoyed, and then it’s a very brief step to guns and prisons. Best change the subject.
Esprit de Corps (The Brigadier): Well done that man. Be sure to tell him so, old chap. Building a rapport is important with a new recruit.
Inland Empire (Jo): Gosh, this is a tricky one. Have we tried astral projection yet?
Suggestion (7): Stare him down. There’s a weakness in his eyes. A fearrrr. Exploit it. He will let you out of this cell, one way or anotherrrr.
Volition (Fitz): The eight notes cycle through your head, rising and falling like the tides. No, larger than that. Larger than everything else. Even with everything else gone, you still have this.
-6&7
Oh, I love the concept of Doctor Elysium. I really do need to get back to the Bearer of the Horrific Necktie (a rarely noted ninth Element of Harmony, after Empathy and Drastic Paradigm Shifts.) Great combination of recognizable portraiture and the surreal presentation of the skills.
Ah, always a good day when more 6&7 art drops. My bias shows too well, though: Good boy most definitely confirmed.
