The Cyber Race will be triumphant...

Way back in the 60's, before the Borg were even thought of, the BBC's own sci-fi serial "Dr Who" introduced the world to the idea of cybernetic organisms (or cyborgs, if you prefer) in the guise of the Cybermen. For me, they've always been the best of the Doctor's arch-nemeses : their cold, calculating, unfeeling evil has always been, to me, far more sinister than the overzealous megalomania of the Daleks, or even the insane flawed-genius of the Master.

Thank the stars these lads are allergic to gold...

This is awesome.
My mother and I love Dr. Who. She watched the original series as a kid, and she was terrified of the Daleks. I don't know why - just push 'em down some stairs!

For all the dirty looks,


For photographs your boyfriend took,


You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed

:iconsuzage:
Oh my god, I just now realised Cyborg means Cybernetic Organism :ohmygod:

That blank stare is really creepy! And I just love how you've made it detailed but still keep it clean!
Is this the drawing you wanted to colour too?
:icondagger-13:
I have to learn to read 'organism' without missing out the n and the i :blush: darnit! This is cool, but eeeeeever so slightly scary. It's watching me! O_O

Speak of the devil! I was in an argument with my dad a few days ago, he tried to convince me he was right in saying the Cybermen were gold!

Cool pic. Sure you'll have even more Who-ness down the line.

;) Cheers! And that's my point exactly : the Daleks are silly...

I only knew that 'coz I'm a sci-fi nerd... :shrug:

But yeah, the cold, dead eyes is what has always captivated me about the Cybermen, that mockery of humanity, it's most unsettling... As it goes, this was always meant to be b+w, but who knows, I may post up the linework for the colour piece in my scraps... ;)

Oh dear me no : they were allergic to gold, yes, but they've always been silver... Who can forget the silver moonboots they wore during the 80's?

But yeah, I daresay I have more Whovian tomfoolery in me... At the very least I'm sure I could knock out one of them evil pepperpot doofies...
