Best Enemies

Way back in July of last year wingedkamui posted Attetion-Grabber, starring Shalka!Doctor and Cheetah!Master, at deviantart and here.

There was some discussion in the comments to that post along the lines of "gotta catch 'em all" and "Shalka!Doctor needs to be in a harem anime!" and "OMG TENCHI MUYO" and I may have said something along the lines of how I was going to draw that.

...ten months later, I have a three-season-long plot outline, two 24-page comics scripts, a brand new deviantart account, fortyleven bookmarks from TVTropes, a bunch of character designs - and one piece of finished art!

This is a promo poster for the American manga based on the (non-existent) Japanese anime that was very loosely based on the spin-off Shalka cartoon of the British Doctor Who television series. There are a few (very minor, of course) variations from the original British show, as you may have noticed. It's supposed to be crack, but it grew a plot on me. (I'm claiming that the crappiness of the art is intentional because I'm parodying bad American manga-style art. ...yes.)

The poster shows the Doctor's "travelling companions" circa the end of season one of the anime: (vaguely left-to-right): Magister-san, Snake, Cheetah, the Master, Harry, Kosch-chan, Yana-Sensei, a Kitling and a Toclafane, Crispy, the Chief, and Vworp the baby TARDIS.

Will I ever get around to drawing any of the actual comic? ...stay tuned for another ten months. But in the mean time, feel free to take bets on who scores the Doctor first.
