DW: The Darksmith Legacy... Plus Some Pretty Art!

[mtemplar_fic]

The press launch for the interactive cross-media Doctor Who adventure serial, The Darksmith Legacy is scheduled for tonight at the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre, home of the Doctor Who Exhibition.



Per Kasterborous:

With the first installments set for release in January 2009, this interactive cross-media adventure is an exciting new approach to Doctor Who printed fiction and online gaming, with a stunning title and plot that will keep readers gripped throughout 2009 in the absence of a regular series of televised adventures.

Sounds interesting - their web addy is not open yet, but here it is for future reference: http://www.thedarksmithlegacy.com/



And here's the pretty art, via Ben Templesmith (re: NOT MINE!!!!)



I can has? Reportedly, these are warm-up 'sketches' for an upcoming comic, but nothing has been scheduled yet. Here's a link to his blog, where he also has similar art of Martha Jones (why does it always have to be Martha?): http://bentemplesmith.blogspot.com/2008/11/good-doctor-martha.html

I'm willing to chalk up the jaundice to an artistic decision to go kinda sepia-toned.

I would be very happy to someone who is better at rendering the actors in question doing the comic.

If you shift it to black and white, then do the sepia yourself, it's better.

I don't mind comic art, but this is darned pretty.

You mean by handcoloring instead of just messing with the hue or slapping a photo filter on top? Yeah.

I did some playing around with it - saved as a b&w photo, then messed with the hue.
