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

Ooooooh. :) The online thing sounds interesting, if it isn't closed off to anyone not in the UK.

I hate sounding like Jan Brady, but MARTHA MARTHA MARTHA!

She is not with the show anymore, folks! No matter how much you fancy Freema Agyeman, she bailed for L&O! If Rose gives you girl cooties, how about some Donna for feck's sake?

Sweet art, though.

It looks like TDL is going to be a series of ten kids' books, with associated online content. How kidsy the books will be I guess we'll find out soon enough. I should ping WhoNA and see if they're going to be carrying these.

The web stuff we'll have to wait and see on - I have to wonder if it'll all be region-locked.

Oh my god, the art is absolutely gorgeous!

The cross-media thing is an interesting idea...

The profile pic doesn't quite look right, but the others are quite nice. Strangely, most sketches of DT in profile make me think of David Duchovny.

Oh, I like Templesmith's work. This is something for me to look for! (You'd think I was into comics, given some of my friends/authors, but strangely I'm not, by nature. But some of the artists out there ... yeah. Good stuff.)
