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

7. Angel

By: Joe-Roberts Interestingly, there's no real evidence that this is actually Dr Who art. The artist doesn't comment, merely classing it as Digital Art/Mixed Media /Macabre & Horror. Nevertheless, a good many of those that left a comment on it thought it was! I'm going to include it for two reasons. Firstly because I, and others, think it is Who art and secondly, because it deserves to get a view. It's magnificently disturbing. Nearly anyone can blend together an impossible duo to reveal some sort of dualistic opposition, or relationship: Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi; Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde; Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill; Jedward, etc. Maybe not Jedward then, because that would be both pointless and wrong. The trouble is that once you've crunched your antithetical icons together many artists lose it at that point. This one doesn't. In this version we see Angel and Demon fused into a single personality, but the eyes are the convincer holding the whole thing together. Most eyes in this sort of mash-up are depicted with different expressions at left and right, and you end up feeling that two separate minds coexist. Not here, because both angel and demon have the same intent, the same priority. One is good and one is bad, but never forget that you are the object under scrutiny. Your status is the same for both, so each coldly evaluates you; one does it to find out if you're good while the other yearns to see something bad. And on the question of it truly being a Weeping Angel? Of course it is €“ the artist just blinked once and forgot, that's all! He's probably in the court of King Harold even as we speak, wondering how he got there.
