Edit [29/1/2017]: Rest in Peace, John Hurt.

----------------------------------------------------------
What I did... I did without Choice...

I didn't add a number to John Hurt's War Doctor because he's still isn't considered as one of the Doctor's by Moffat and others
[plus, I find the number 8.5 seemingly unnecessary], so I just shoved a big X above him.

And well you look at that... a print available for all you parasites

R.I.P. John Hurt.

Rest easy, soldier. You have done your duty. Goodbye Doctor.

I think the X ads to the Tim Burtonish creep factor :)

Thank you for including the War Doctor in the series, and X is very apt :-)

No worries :)

All of these Burton Doctors are amazing. And I thought the X was apt - the Doctor did his best to forget about who he was when he was the War Doctor, and the War Doctor himself didn't consider himself to be the Doctor until the very end. He's the Doctor who was never mentioned, never numbered, avoided by his future counterparts until the day he discovered that he didn't commit the heinous act he'd thought he did.

I have strong feelings for War Doctor. And your art is fantastic. :D

As he is called 'Doctor' at the end of the Special by himself and his future incarnations it can be said that he is counted as the Doctor.

True.
But I just did this to avoid confusion with the numbers (which most people already seem to have)

I've got no Problem with the X, I like it the way it is as it fits to 'Doctor No more'.

It looks Fantastic! Mind if I use it as reference for a 3d model?

I actually like the Tim Burton style you put on each of them, if this was animated i would totally watch it.

this old lad
poor him
he seems abit war-ridden
something important is certainly on his mind
he just can't get away from it
it appears though it's been bothering him for quite some time now

What is he ? Is he one of the Doctor's regeneration that didn't happen ?

He's the War Doctor.
The regeneration between the 8th and the 9th Doctor.
If you haven't seen the 50th Anniversary "The Day of the Doctor", I advise you do so.
RizBrony's avatar
And how am I do to that ? Is there a re-run of the special ?

Go to goldtardis.com. You'll find it. If you haven't found it already, since I'm replying 10 months after the fact... [x

Well, I'm pretty sure it's not on Iview anymore..
So, you can either buy it at a DVD store or ABC shop.
Or you could download it.
