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'll keep an eye out. Templesmith has stuff with IDW right now, but nothing definite on a DW comic just yet.

Yes, I've been following the work Templesmith does with Warren Ellis (who is one hell of a character -- I know (of) him through PNH (Patrick Nielsen Hayden), an old friend (his wife, Theresa, knew my husband as long as 30 years ago, when they were both out in Arizona). warren_ellis's LJ is worth following, by the way.
