Happy Twelfth Night!

Here's a favourite of my coloured pencil drawings from my Days Of Christmas series in 2015/16:

Goose A-laying, aka ”Draw me like one of your French Hens”

I hope this cheers you up while you're taking your decorations down! 🎄♻️🗑

To celebrate Inktober, Colorvember and half term, I’m giving away a FREE 10 page PDF of Doctor Who fan art colouring pages!

I've turned 16 of my Doctor Who fan art illustrations into black and white line art that you can colour yourself! Including Ood, Daleks, Cybermen, K-9, Bok and more!

Download and print to colour at home or to use them however you wish - as long as it's for non-commercial use and you link back to quarridors.com so people can find more of my work.

Transcript: An A5 sketchbook page showing a black inked 3 panel comic using 'Medieval' style captions with elaborate letters and large illuminated first letters decorated with flowers. The borders between panels are twisted vines in the style of medieval manuscripts.

Panel 1: "Nobody dared go near the tower", a cobbled road towards a building has become overgrown and gone into disrepair. The fence to one side has been broken and a rough track has been worn into the hillside, diverting the road away from the tower.

Panel 2: "A fearsome dragon sat at the top", a huge feline dragon looks down from a tall tower, on which it barely fits, well above the tops of the trees. It has large scaled craws, an armoured tail, but no wings,

Bottom caption: "Until one day, a knight rode up"

Panel 3: An armoured knight shouts up to the tower, "DO YOU NEED HELP TO GET DOWN?"

A digital artist attempts Inktober, days 5 to 7, "There's a World (Between the Lines of Age)", comic adaptation of a @microsff tweetstory, words by O. Westin.

Designed as part of a Nottingham Hackspace Comics Making Group challenge. The story takes place on side 2 of Harvest, Neil Young, which oddly works as a 5 track concept album for this story (if you awkwardly pretend that Alabama’s a person - and we all know that rock musicals have done far worse!)

Transcript: An A5 sketch book page showing a black inked 3 panel comic.

Panel 1 "In the long valley a civilisation was born", a twisting valley with caves and rope bridges along its walls, "And flourished", towards the bottom are elaborate bridges, skyscrapers and temples.

Panel 2 "…until an enormous metal point scraped it away", the huge object devastates the buildings, it is flanked by other long twisting valleys.

Panel 3, speech bubble "Old vinyl sounds great!", a Neil Young record plays on a turntable.

Earlier I was tweeting about the restoration of colour to 1970 PAL Doctor Who episodes by overlaying contemporaneous NTSC home video recordings over the monochrome archive film. I commented on how the colour artefacts this introduced in the image had interacted with the original microphony interference lines arising from late 60s colour video cameras, and so induced a feeling of nostalgia for the way I once experienced many of these stories from my own home video recordings of repeat showings, which subtly degraded with each repeat viewing. The next thing I saw on social media was this multi-generation lossy screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot shared on one of my Facebook groups, and I was absolutely fascinated.

I scripted this after The Magician’s Apprentice, but only now had time to roughly draw it out.

Sillier and considerably quicker Doctor Who fan art than this monstrosity, some doodles speculating about other forms of Skaro weaponry.

I’m making Doctor Who fan art again! Yay!

It’s a creepy Hand Mine with its eye on your ankle.
