Thank you! (blushes)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Cheers!

Thank you!

I probably did this in entirely the wrong way! I'm a huge fan of Adobe Illustrator and use it frequently at work. Sadly it's a bit expensive for me to get a copy for my creaky old MacBook at home. I tried Inkscape, a decent free alternative but, although I can see it has potential, I had a lot of trouble getting used to the interface. (I've been using Adobe products for the best part of 20 years, so my mind has trouble using non-Adobe keyboard shortcuts!)

So, I just ended up doing this with the lasso tool and layers in Photoshop, simple as that. I had to use a photo of Colin and an Obama poster for reference. If you zoom in veeeeeeeery close, you might be able to see that some edges aren't as smooth as vectors.

Thank you very much!

Me too, but sadly he was fired before he could complete a full term in office...

Me too - one of those guys that you may not like, but you know where he stands.

(Mostly because you can't miss him with that coat.)

Cheers!

Thanks! I actually thought of this ages ago and was planning to put it out before the 2012 election (seemed like an obvious gag.) But then I got a case of the wobbles when I thought Romney might get in and I thought this poster would be in bad taste. And other pictures got in the way too.

I really should have done this with vectors, but sadly Illustrator is rather expensive for me at the moment, so it was just done with the lasso and layer masks in Photoshop. Might have been the wrong way to go about it, but it was so much fun to do, I'm seriously considering one for each Doctor, as you suggest.

Thanks hugely!

Thank you!

Thank you! It's always lovely to see my artwork shared in random places around the net.

Thank you very much!

By sheer coincidence, it was only after I finished the image and posted it, that I found out it was Colin's birthday!
