Artist's Comments

Edit: Moved this out of scraps after realizing it was actually more popular (in terms of faves, at least) than the other version. Sorry if this shows up on your watch again and whatnot? The version without all the text and texture can be found at [link]

This is the alternate version of the Cyberwoman picture - it was actually the original concept behind the pic, so it was no easy choice to stick it here instead of in the main gallery. I scrapped this one because a) the style of the piece ended up so far away from the original concept that it looks almost out of place with the text, and b) I spent SO FREAKIN' LONG on this thing that I hated to distort the colours and cover up bits of it.

Still, y'gotta admit that a sexy cyborg woman fighting a pterodactyl is right at home on an old-fashioned pulp cover, which is the point I was trying to get across. Researched a bunch of the old covers to get the right sort of feeling with the titles and the text, including the multiple stories in one issue, or the weird "A STORY OF THE FUTURE" type subtitles. Just plain fun.

Amazing. The two versions are brilliant, this one has that little extra coolness.

now this is fantastic! They should make the eps nito comic books, and then buy the rights off of t his from you. Because it's better then most comic front pages that I've seen.

I forgot to add on my comment to the ot her one. I have the same issues with colors altering when saved as other formats.

Thank you so much. =D And I wasn't a huge fan of the Cyberwoman episode as a whole, but I did like the Cyberwoman vs. pterodactyl thing for exactly this reason - it was so ridiculous it came out with this silly, fun, old-school vibe of sci-fi from the days where you could get away just about anything in the name of "well, it's the FUTURE!" =)

I think that's why I love this pic so much - it really captures the spirit of the old-school vibe they were gunning for. Didn't really come off in the episode I don't think, but THIS is just marvellous.

I'd ask for more of these, but I'm sure this took FOREVER! Although, another Jack/Ianto sketch along the lines of that gorgeous one you put up on lj wouldn't go amiss :p

Thanks. Yay, I wasn't the only one who thought this! I love Torchwood's over-the-top weirdness. :D
