mad clown in a blue box

OKAY so im gonna talk about Koschei's inspirations first.. I drew a lot from TSoD’s Koschei(?) flashbacks with the hair swoops on the side that cover his ears along with the bright blue eyes. I also took inspiration from the Kid!Master that I found while surfing the wiki who has his atrocious mushroom haircut... I couldn't give koschei one that bad but I did make it all be pretty much the same level across for the bangs similar to Kid!Master's

koschei was also influenced by Delgado as thats the master im watching rn. no specifics, but vibes and the like :)

also also i did take inspo from some old gacha crying child (BV/dave/evan/chris from FNAF) designs that were foggy in my memory which we will NOT be talking about, okay?? okay. (dont take me back...)

next up is theta, cause i've only made 2 designs so far.. (i need to make the whole deca NOW!!!)

so I know a lot of people take the blonde/curly/blue eyes route, which I just.. didnt fit the doctor's vibes for me??? A lot of people who dont go the fanon stereotype route instead go with young hartnell as inspiration, but I wanted to give Theta a little more hair while still keeping a non-modern hairstyle, and instead decided to base him more heavily on Burgess Meredith, an American actor.

I took the general eyes/face and hair color from Hartnell still and the hairstyle from Meredith and I think it turned out quite nice. The little white hair was just a fun thing to give him more uniqueness and also to tie him a little bit to the white-haired first doctor :))

the golden eyes were just plain vibes honestly. i see theta as a very warm colored person (dont ask what this means) and was like hmm. gold eyes. why not.

here's a thing I did with the references as a reward for reading all my yap. I wish I had designs for the whole deca so I could draw them toghether... (in the future, i will...)
