Now that the new series of Doctor Who has drawn to a close I’ve been thinking of putting a few new images into the Dalek gallery of my website. In case you don’t know, I’m a big fan if the 3d software Cinema 4d but for some odd reason I’ve never had much interest in making anything other than Daleks! The notion of variations of a theme has always inspired me and the of possibility of design variants of the Daleks has also given me plenty to do and learn.

But I’ve not made anything for while so I’ve been searching round for a bit of inspiration and then I found this:

It’s an original online comic by a guy who goes by the name Mechmaster. A fellow poster in the Project Dalek forum and, like me, someone interested in the evolution of Dalek design; and the creative possibilities that they offer. Mechmaster’s Daleks are very much his own and yet he convincingly creates a believable universe for his Daleks - with some really wonderful geek friendly ideas too.

Some of his design choices are of course controversial; his designs are very curved - yet beautifully detailed, and the dialogue and lighting is reminiscent of Star Trek: The Next Generation but this comic is one of a kind and the amount of respect and admiration for it’s creator is enormous. If anything, any complaints I would have would only inspire me to make a Dalek comic of my own. However I still long way to go before I could much his skill level.

But anyway - GO READ HIS COMIC NOW - and behold the splendour!
