The 10th and 11th Doctor. :D
The reason for the Doctor Who stuff lately is because I introduced the series to my mom and I’m re-watching all the seasons again with her.  :D

I used the cardboard from my old drawing sketchbooks for the material. I even have a little working light I’m going to put on top of it. hehe I’m quite proud of how it turned out.

It stands about 6 1/2 inches tall.

For those who don’t know (shame on you! ;P) the TARDIS is from Doctor Who.

Sort of. :D
How it Ends...

I know I used a reference photo but I can’t find it. If I ever stumble across it again, I’ll link back to it.

Title is from the song How it Ends by DeVotchKa. Very beautiful song.

And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you”

My crappy little speedpainting can not compete with the epicness of that song, but I had it on repeat when painting the two characters from my work-in-progress novel.
