winner of our 7th contest with:
Name: Megan D. legally, though I generally go by 'Wish' and sometimes 'Ver'.
Date of Birth: March 3, 1990
Current Residence: Suburbia Nowhere, USA - better known as Delaware (the actual state, not the city in Ohio).
Favorite TV Shows?Ooh, way too many. Topping the list is Doctor Who (that was prob'ly obvious xD), Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, the Big Bang Theory, Eli Stone, Bones, House, What I Like About You, Ghost Hunters, and Mythbusters.
What inspires you to draw?Lots of things, really. I'm a story teller at heart with an overactive imagination, and a lot of times (when it's not for a purely cathartic reason) what I draw is something that I had an idea to write and just illustrated instead or an illustration for something I've written. I want to say I just like playing with the characters (whether my own or borrowed from someone else's playpen), but I have a friend who said a while back that it's the characters that play with us, and I've since learned that's she completely right on that.
Which is your favorite Season 1, 2, 3, and 4 episode?Oh, do I have to choose? S1's prob'ly Father's Day; my dad died when I was three, so Rose's daddy issues have always hit a bit close to home, and when it comes to wanting to go back and meet your dad/make it turn out different I can really relate to that one. For S2 I'd have to say Love & Monsters. I know it's one of the least liked episodes among fandom, but I just love it. xD It's just so crazy and random, and Elton completely stole my heart.
S3 is a tie between Blink and the Human Nature/Family of Blood arc. Blink was just brilliant, and I loved the possibilites HN/FoB explored with the Doctor turning himself human. Tennant's acting with John Smith really impressed me, and (even though I wanted the Doctor back) I was sad to see him go at the end. Plus, Son of Mine. Such a fangirl for him. <3 As for S4...oh, I hate to choose. I love Donna so much, and she's made every episode brilliant. My opinion will probably change as the series concludes, but right now my favorite is Partners in Crime, and that's only because of the Adipose. xD I love those little fat babies way too much for my own good.
What advice do you have for those other artists out there?Keep practicing. I have a lot of friends who ask me to show them how I draw and try to copy what I'm doing, but when it doesn't turn out exactly the same they get frustrated and give up. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and I still have a lot to learn. If it's something you really love and want to get better at, keep at it. The more you work with it, the more you learn - and the better you get. Stick to it, learn what works for you, develop your own style, and just keep it fun. Don't stress yourself out over your art so much that you lose your love for it. C=
Which is your favorite Doctor x Rose moment?I really feel horrible for saying this, but the scene in Bad Wolf where Rose gets blasted by the Anne-droid. There are many times before that where you can tell the Doctor feels something for Rose, but it really shows in those few minutes where he thinks she's died. His face when he's brushing his fingers through her 'ashes' just kills me (and Jack's muted screaming at the station workers only make it worse), and then how he just shuts down. It's beautiful acting on Chris's part, and as angsty as it is it's definitely my favorite Doctor x Rose moment.
How long have you been watching Doctor Who?I really only just started watching last summer (June 2007, I think). SciFi was showing one of their marathons, and I stumbled in near the end of Army of Ghosts. I couldn't turn it off for the rest of the day (it started with AoG/DD, then went back to NE and played maybe six more eps?), and then I was trying to find out whatever I could about the show. Total smack addiction, but I can't really say that I mind. C=
