CHECK OUT THE 3D RENDER HERE, BY "GOOD FRIAR!!" ---> [link]

An episode of the non-canon Doctor Who Series 3, "Daleks in Manhattan," featured Daleks in 1930's New York City. I heard David Tennant, who plays Doctor Who, mention in an interview that there would be "Art Deco Daleks" featured in the episode. Which of course got me thinking...what would an "Art Deco Dalek" look like?? :confused:

Later on of course, we saw that Tennant's words were as bogus as the rest of the New Series, but I had been inspired none-the-less. :XD:

Then of course I designed/drew it. I'm more of a Victorian guy, and I wasn't too familiar with Art Deco designs (Art Deco being the prevalent design in the 1930's). So I got a bunch of books on Art Deco from the library and studied up. My first attempt at an Art Deco Dalek came out looking WAY too 1950's, and I wasn't happy with it. This version was inspired by the front of The Crusader, which is a train that used to operate for the Reading Railroad back in the 1930's.

Well, there should be a link in the description to a CG render of the Dalek, and it's in color, so be sure to check that out! :D

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love your Dalek and Cybermen pieces! This is just fantastic! And while I disagree with you on the new series not being cannon, that doesn't stop me from loving these! :D

Well, that makes me happy to know. Fans don't have to agree on all the little details, but as long as we can enjoy each other's artwork, that's all that matters! :D
