My first foray into game design

I realise this has absolutely nothing to do with Doctor Who, but bear with me because I wanted to talk about this. (Pleaaaaaseeeeeeeeeee?) For the past couple of years, I've been extremely confused as to what I actually want to do once I've finished college. I was interested in graphic design (drawing being one of my favourite things to do in my free time) but that would've been a waste of my abilities in coding and maths. I wanted to become an animator at one point, but somehow it didn't feel very satisfying. This confusion resolved itself only this year (sort of), when I realised that making games would be a perfect fusion of both my art and math skills. The coding and level design side of things would engage me intellectually, ensuring that the world is consistent with the character's abilities and the game is fun to play (kind of the whole point), while the art would be a fun side aspect of the thing. Plus, I've been playing games since I was 5. I'v...

The Twelfth Doctor's looks in Series 10

Image
Well, it's been a looooooooooooooooong time, hasn't it? So, this year marks the fabulous Peter Capaldi's last season as the Twelfth Doctor. In the newest series, his wardrobe has only expanded and grown ever more difficult to emulate, with Hayley Nebauer replacing Ray Holman as costume designer. Right, I'll stop waffling now, let's begin. Oh, by the way, if anyone cares, I don't know when the second part of the 11th Doctor cosplay guide will come out... EPISODE ZERO?: THE RETURN OF DOCTOR MYSTERIO 1) Burgundy velvet 3/4 length jacket with magenta lining, available from Magnoli here:  http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/crombie-jacket-blazers-p-601.html ... Just select burgundy as the jacket colour and solid red for the lining. Otherwise go to Steve Ricks for all the coats if you have a lot of money (and I mean a lot because the Magnoli ones are expensive anyway):  http://twelfthdoctorcostume.blogspot.in/ .... Ooh Abbyshot does one now too:  https://www...

How to cosplay the 11th Doctor, part 1 of 2

Image
The 11th Doctor. A "madman in a box", as he called himself. An old man stuck in a body that looks infinitely younger than he actually is. Today, we are going to learn how to dress up as the 11th Doctor (obviously). So let's begin! The Tweed Jackets Throughout his tenure as the Doctor, Matt Smith mostly wore a brown tweed jacket. Now, for cosplayers on a budget, any of these is fine, but for people interested in detail, he wore 3 types of tweed jackets. 1. The Donegal Tweed (series 5) This is the first jacket the 11th Doctor wore on-screen. It has blackish leather elbow patches and brown leather football buttons. 2. The Harris Tweed (series 5) This is a somewhat lighter jacket, compared to the Donegal one (though this colour difference is not seen in the pictures). It has dark brown leather elbow patches. 3. The Shetland Tweed (series 6 & 7) This has a prominent pattern compared to the other two. So, now I'm going to try s...

How to cosplay the 12th Doctor

Image
Ah, the Twelfth Doctor. The originally cynical, pragmatic Doctor, whose grumpy façade gave way to reveal someone who is very much a teenager in an old man's body, the total inverse of his bowtie-wearing predecessor. Someone with a minimalist, but stylish attire. My fave Doc. Today, we'll see exactly how to emulate his style (in case you didn't read the title). Let's go! The Constants Navy blue crombie coat with red lining (the actual screen-used one is custom, but I think this should do) Doc Marten shoes that look like this: Navy blue trousers (for series 8 at least) Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses for the sonic ones The Variables 1. Deep Breath/Into the Dalek/Mummy on the Orient Express ending/Flatline/Dark Water/Death in Heaven (heck, mostly all of series 8) Black John Smedley cardigan (Deep Breath/Into the Dalek) or black waistcoat (all the others) White shirt 2. Robot of Sherwood/Time Heist Purple shirt 3. Listen/The Car...

Hello, fellow Whovian bloggers (and others too, of course)!

Hello, fellow bloggers! I'm Neel Amonkar, and this is my first post on Blogger! (As if that wasn't obvious already. Sorry.) I got the idea to make a Doctor Who-related blog after looking at the most prominent one on the Net, Blogtor Who. I'm really passionate about Doctor Who, and consider it to be one of the (if not THE) greatest science-fiction show ever created. I've been watching it since Season 1 of the revived show. I love Doctor Who (again, obvious), writing and sharing my opinions with others, so this was a natural choice for me. Now, on this blog, I am going to be posting things like episode reviews, series reviews, character overviews, fun Who-related things you can do, how to cosplay as certain characters, and much more (that I haven't decided yet. 😜) I quite sincerely hope that all you fans are able to enjoy this. I'll be posting all these things once per week (if time permits) and I'll let all of you know if I can't post for some reason....
