Artist Rafe Wallbank has posted what he describes as “quick piece” to commemorate 15 years since Matt Smith‘s first full episode of Doctor Who.
Quite aside from being a bit incredulous that it’s really been 15 years since Matt joined the long-running SFTV show, returning to BBC1 and Disney+ with Ncuti Gatwa next week, we wonder what a “long piece” would look like!
Rafe Wallbank has been creating digital artwork since 2020, and since then he’s had the opportunity to work on official BBC Doctor Who audio drama releases, amongst other iconic franchises, including Alien, James Bond and Star Wars.
