Cover 3: The Moonbase

I'm quite happy with this one, all things considered. I decided to do this one in spite of the already excellent covers available, and after finding the range of interesting images available from the story, I was glad that I did.

Cover Two: The Abominable Snowmen
 
After some positive responses to my first cover, I decided that my second cover should be for a story that was actually televised, as opposed to an audio adventure. This gave me plenty of opportunity to find images from the story itself, and other fan DVD covers to reference.
 I saw that most had featured the pyramid of Intelligence Spheres, so I decided to use the base of the pyramid, with a yeti  emerging from it. I'm not entirely sure this worked, and it might be a cover I want to revisit in future. What did work in my opinion, was the use of the spheres scattered across the cover, (I particularly liked placing the one on the bottom left).
The image of the Doctor on the bottom right caused me a lot of trouble, as it stuck out like a sore thumb and I couldn't manage a very neat job cutting him out of his picture. I used the ink sketch effect I used on the Spare Parts cover on him, which I think has improved his look, but whether or not he actually fits in with the rest of the cover is a matter of opinion.
