Doctor Who: 20 Genius DeviantART Creations You Need In Your Life

10. Dr Who Curiosity Life On Mars

By: onegemini Among many people, good comic art has always been underrated, viewed as a sort of Cinderella department of serious artistic endeavour. This is doubly so when you recognise that its greatest critics have always been us, the genre devotee rather than art specialists. Hordes of us, we populist consumers, have made people such as Frank Miller and Sin City 'respectable'. Part of comic art's caché is that is doesn't become mainstream, (like I had hoped for Banksy), so it will do very well if if can remain firmly within the genre fan's domain. This piece is an excellent example of that kind of thing. It is well realised, beautifully drawn, with careful consideration over how to depict each scene. It also tells a decent little story to boot, and demonstrates the sort of skill in execution that causes serious collectors to belatedly return to it after an artist has departed us and proclaim it to be 'for future generations', or some such nonsense while they pocket the wedge from selling it on. Personally, I just like looking at it. It is one that you will have to actually go over to the site to see properly after you've finished here, naturally - don't want you running off too soon! It is one of those that expands on clicking it so that you can see the full thing, which we are not geared up to do here.
