DOCTOR WHO - THE ALCHEMISTS OF FEAR

"All who come into contact with the case will die. That is the easement of inferior lifeforms..."

Mandusus, 8187. Exploring the zipways, the Doctor, Peri and Frobisher clash with the slowship's past. Artefacts taken out of Time and removed to the present. With malicious intent. One of which has been extinct for thousands of years.

Traced by operatives of Virtuosity Astrotech, the Doctor begins to understand that there is far more at stake than lost property. His deadliest of enemies, the Daleks, are at large somewhere on Mandusus. Already, they have set to work on Operation: Mindnet, a project with hideous implications for the slowship's future.

The Doctor believes he can stop them. But can he? Led by the Red Dalek and propelled by the telepathic powers of the Psyche Dalek, they understand the Time Lord's mind.

This time, the Daleks are ready for him...

Various Doctor Who Stuffies 🥰

some more leviathan peeks we've gotten im genuinely so excited (the landscaping so far looks incredible as well)

[vilelittlecritter]

So I got bored and decided to look into if Doctor Who had a large Asian audience and I ended up finding these Japanese book adaptations of some of the old stories and ngl they go hard as fuck.

Strange to me how one of my favorite Dalek color schemes only exists within The Curse of Fatal Death

[roseverdict]

welp it's 11:11 PM and I'm researching whether Daleks are colorblind for the purposes of a fun dramatic reveal scene in a crossover fanfiction I'm not sure I'll ever upload. living the high life lmao but also I think I need to sleep

“So it seems my mission is the same, what always ends in bloodshed begins as just a game.”

So this piece turned out too good not to post, despite how specific and canon divergent it is...

[intuitive-revelations]

Oooh! 👀

I know some classic fans are going to consider this sacrilege, and I totally get it, but personally I'm very keen to see how this turns out! As you may know if you've followed me for some time, I've said (and shown before with my DW Regenerated series of posts) that this is exactly the kind of project I'd love to see.

I'm surprised they're going to the detail of re-editing and re-composing the story too, but again it is something I always wanted to see as an experiment. Editing in particular makes sense, as it can make a huge difference, plus reduces the workload if you are going to go to the effort of recolouring something. Recomposing I'm a bit more wary about, but I think could work if they base it on the original score, and try more to just expand on and enhance it, trying to keep the original sounds and themes.

Bit of a shame it doesn't sound like it will be expanded to widescreen, or at least they haven't said as much. I bet it could be done. Obviously the dynamic shots are difficult (hence why most I've done are stationary), but I bet it could be done with sufficient photogrammetry, CGI, and careful manual editing (I tried the first, can't really do the second, at least in 3D, but have done a lot of the third). Potentially AI too, provided it were used ethically, and in combination with the other methods - maybe for the simple camera wobbles, so effort could focus on the more tricky stuff that could otherwise never be done.

Regardless, time to see if I'm vindicated...

Dragon In Chief

When the dragon is more dangerous than the main antagonist.

The Dragon-in-Chief is a version of The Dragon who serves as the de facto Big Bad of the story, even if they're technically not at the top of the bad guy hierarchy. They're nominally subordinate or in service to another villain, but typically so much smarter, stronger or more skillful, and just as evil if not more so (and almost always scarier) that it's clear who's really the biggest threat in the story.

The supposed main villain, for their part, overestimate The Dragon's loyalty or are too afraid to keep them in line. It could also be that the Big Bad is more of a puppet king being manipulated by subordinates, and the Dragon finds this set-up preferable to taking charge personally.

Examples:

Games of Thrones: Lord Tywin Lannister serves as the Dragon-in-chief to his grandson, the incompetent teenaged fool of a King Joffrey Baratheon, who he is technically only the Hand to, and not even that until Season 3. Perhaps best exemplified by the Season 3 finale in which Joffrey claims that it was his father who won the war while Tywin "hid under Casterly Rock!" In response to this challenge, Tywin just sends Joffrey a death glare, which Joffrey quickly buckles under after a just few seconds of attempting to keep eye contact.

Doctor Who: In the episodes The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, Davros is little more than a "pet" for the Supreme Dalek, but it's his plan for the Reality Bomb his creations are following. Also, Dalek Caan needed him to recreate his species. All of this, combined with his personal enmity with the Doctor, makes Davros effectively the face of the Dalek threat.

Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles: Sergei Vladimir is the de facto Big Bad, carrying out Ozwell Spencer's orders for him. When Sergei dies, Spencer is left with no allies and no support, and in the following game, is killed by Albert Wesker.

Dragon Ball: In the Red Ribbon Army Arc, there is Officer Black, who is much more competent and threatening and has more morals than Commander Red. When he finds out how petty the wish Red planned with Dragon Balls was —making himself taller—he kills him.

Rio: Nigel to Marcil. While his owner Marcel still drives the plot to some degree, Nigel is the more direct threat and far more menacing and evil than Marcel, while also serving as the lynchpin for Marcel's entire plan.

Avatar (2009): Though Parker Selfridge is the nominal leader of the human forces, the main antagonist of the film is Colonel Quaritch, who runs his mercenary army exactly how he wants to and ultimately becomes the real power in the operation and it's clear they both know it. About the only things that keep Selfridge in place are the fact that he's paying, and that Quaritch can't be bothered with the administrative details.

Alice in Wonderland (2010): The Jabberwocky (which, for bonus points, just so happens to resemble a dragon) is by far the bigger threat compared to his mistress the Red Queen, given that Alice's goal is to slay it and as soon as she does, all of the Red Queen's followers abandon her and she's quickly banished.

Kim Possible: Shego (mostly) helps Drakken carry out his schemes rather than invent and execute any of her own. But we know she has the power to completely overthrow Drakken if she wants to. The only thing that stops her fulfilling all the criteria is that for most of the series, she lacks the ambition to become a bigger treat. Drakken is actually more scientifically savvy than Shego — she just has a lot more common sense and can actually fight on a near-equal level with Kim.

In the the final end scene for the second dalek movie one of the drone props is painted black and gold and is used to to film this daleks destruction. Were as the red dalek is the original prop and is simply destroyed.

Now why would you want to save the plain old black dalek when you could save the beautiful red and silver one?

Last August, after almost exactly two years, I filled up my second sketchbook. I decided to illustrate the last page with the reverse of the first one (under cut) + every blorbo I could remember and fit in there who accompanied me throughout, including my own.

Did they ever explain why there were chairs on the Dalek spaceship? They said they would later, but...

So I know I have seen Marius Goring in only two movies and one Doctor Who story.....But hot damn am I impressed by his range

I have seen him as a struggling artist love interest,a flamboyant French aristocrat take on the Grim Reaper ,and a subtley evil Victorian old guy who sells out humanity for his own greed
