"Metamorphosis"

If I'm going to start this year off right, I'm going to start it with the Eighth Doctor! And butterflies. ^__^ Lots of butterflies.

Butterflies are a thing with Eight. He has a butterfly room in his TARDIS, and frequent butterfly symbolism and recurring themes throughout his storied travels. I've painted him with butterflies a few times in my art before, but always wanted to do a portrait that focused directly on "The Doctor's butterflies." And so, here he is, surrounded by butterflies, gently holding a chrysalis as a newly-emerged butterfly unfurls its wings on his fingers.

Dedicated to Carolyn for drop-kicking my muse into its past timeline with her own beautiful Eighth Doctor artwork! <3 I thought I might be rusty drawing Paul McGann after a few years, but it all came back to me.

If there's a long wait for the next Dr Who show, then it's entirely possible that it'll do the (reasonable) thing that New Who did and just start with a brand new Doctor. And then the Billie Piper Doctor will be in the same boat as the Paul McGann Doctor, except instead of 90 minutes of screentime she had like 5 seconds of screentime, and instead of a decade of the best Doctor Who ever made, she'll have a decade of people not feeling like they're allowed to write for her. So actually I guess that's an entirely different boat.
