How to cosplay the 12th Doctor

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 Caretaker/In the Forest of the Night/Death In Heaven ending
  • Black holey jumper with white t-shirt
    (SUGGESTED: Get a black T-shirt and put white dots on it)
4. Kill the Moon



  • Black shirt with white polka dots
5. Last Christmas/Magician's Apprentice pre-titles/Under the Lake/Before the Flood/The Woman Who Lived/The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion/Sleep no More

  • Black jumper again (refer to no. 3)
  • Black zip-up hoodie (charcoal grey for The Woman who Lived)
6. Magician's Apprentice/Witch's Familiar

  • Label Lab Misty Mountain T-shirt (available on Redbubble)
  • Pink Henley top under the T-shirt
  • Black zip-up hoodie
  • Grey plaid trousers
7. The Girl Who Died
  • Label Lab Negative Flower T-shirt
  • Black zip-up hoodie
  • Black plaid trousers
8. Face the Raven pre-titles
  • Star/Space Shark T-shirt (again, on Redbubble)
  • Black zip-up hoodie
  • Brown plaid trousers (I am not sure about this, though. If you find another source that says different, they're probably right.)
9. Face the Raven/Heaven Sent/The Husbands of River Song
  • Burgundy/Maroon velvet Crombie coat with red lining
  • White shirt
  • Black waistcoat
  • Black trousers
10. Hell Bent eeeeeeevil costume (well, not really)

This is basically the same as No. 9. Just wear a black frock coat instead of the Crombie one.



So that concludes this post! If you have anything to say, well, comment on this! New post next week!

    I forgot to mention a few things:
    The navy blue coat can be bought from Abbyshot.com, and the velvet one from jbsuits.com. Both are quite expensive, however.

    Right, I finally got sorted on the brown plaid issue! He wore that in The Woman Who Lived, and NOT Face the Raven. As for the Face the Raven trousers, well... Just wear the navy ones. So, to recap, The Woman Who Lived is now charcoal grey hoodie, brown plaid trousers, and holey jumper.

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

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
