installing the eye of harmony and the control systems.. the Tardis is grown around it..
See, that's all well and good if you accept that; a) The notion that The Eye of Harmony has any business being inside the TARDIS to begin with (it most definitely hasn't imo - watch The Deadly Assasin) and b) TARDIS' are grown as depicted in some of the novels..
Don't get me wrong though, I think you've done a great job of depicting a view of the interior which is consistent with various novels and other media (which you have obviously researched very well). It's a thing of beauty and you seem to have a keen eye for graphic art of this kind.
Very strong, high-quality work! Congrats!
However, I have to register my objection to the basic premise of your work, which seems to be that the TARDIS interior is in some alternate dimension that connects to the police box through the doorway. I don't think it is.
I don't think there is an exterior of the TARDIS interior. It's not dimensionally linked to the police box -- it's just inside the police box. The police box is just literally bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, and that's all there is to it.
Also: Your TARDIS interior isn't nearly large enough, I would argue. "Time Crash" seems to imply that the TARDIS is at least the size of Belgium (given that its explosion would leave a hole that exact size), and I'd argue it's probably larger than that.
I have to disagree, there have been extensive reports and even episodes of the Doctor who show that explain that the tardis is in another dimension and that the outer "box" is dematerialized and rematerialized to different locations..
In what episode was this established?
And if this is the case, why does attacking the police box endanger, or even affect at all, the interior of the TARDIS? Why would the Daleks throwing the police box into a zed neutrino whachamacallit in "Journey's End" endanger the interior, since it's not in the same dimension as the police box? Why have we seen people inside the TARDIS thrown about or experience movement as a result of the movement of the police box?
I don't doubt that your work is consistent with the novels. But I would point out that the novels are not necessarily definitive or binding. Lungbarrow established that Time Lords are created by Looms and emerge from them fully grown, but "The Sound of Drums" and "The End of Time, Part I" have rather firmly established that Time Lords experience biological childhoods and reproduce sexually, with parents.there is also a novel which depicts ace and her view of the tardis from one of the observation towers.. I have also run accross several points of literature that substantiate this and the numerous references to the Corinthian columns holding up the ceiling above the Tardis body..which houses thousands of orbs connected by winding links, and all of that resting on a flat plane..
I think the one in the TV movie might've been a link of sorts to the Gallifrey one. Of course that makes things a bit tricky-what's powering the TARDIS with Gallifrey "gone" (Or at least stuck in the time lock?)
I'm not sure but I think the concept of The Eye is linked to the black hole mentioned in The Three Doctors. Omega basically created it and the Time Lords harnessed it or something like that.
The novels BTW do a ton of backstory on Gallifrey, more than the TV shows ever did. Cats Cradle Time's Crucible for instance shows the origins of Time Lord time travel (and the weird stuff that happens when the TARDIS collides with the original Time Lord prototype TARDIS).
There are also BTW TARDIS battleships in the comics & novels. I think RTD mentioned in one of his time war writeups that these were used in the time war.
Sure..

In the Robots of Death episode the Doctor explains how a small object like the police box can house a massive interior like the Tardis..it is because they are in another dimension.. and with the larger box further away, it symbolizes how a dimension which is larger can fit inside a police box..which is further away (much further since they exist within 2 separate universes..)
And if this is the case, why does attacking the police box endanger, or even affect at all, the interior of the TARDIS? Why would the Daleks throwing the police box into a zed neutrino whachamacallit in "Journey's End" endanger the interior, since it's not in the same dimension as the police box? Why have we seen people inside the TARDIS thrown about or experience movement as a result of the movement of the police box?
ah now here is the point of how this works.. the dimension is relative to the police box, that is to say that the police box itself (is kinda like the interior Dimension IS the Police box, and vice versa) houses the gateway and the Dimension, the entire Dimension.. so when the ship is struck outside, it effects the ship within, and vice versa.. because the exterior of the ship is the dimensional rip in space, it is also housed within ( Edit: I am sorry, it is not housed in matter it is the matter) a structure of matter which can be reformatted via the Tardis inside the alternate universe..Artron energy(which is like a mental type energy part psychic and able to convert energy to matter and back), the singularity, and matter to energy conversion make this possible, though the doctor's ship is stuck in the box mode..
but this is also why the outer blue box can seem automatically repaired, because the interior ship can restructure its matter back to the point it originally was intended..hence why in episode 1 of season 11, we see that the ship's windows and exterior are in perfect shape..and explains a lot about how the outer shell works.. the outer shell is the inner shell.. they are relative to each other..
I could site my sources here all day long, and still I know someone would question this thesis..but like I said at the beginning of this entire thread..
"I know not everyone is going to agree with what i have pieced together."
LOL..
but I am glad to atleast have the opportunity to flesh out the hows and whys behind the design and its relation to the time lords.. this is fun!![]()
That's a nonsense comparison, since far away objects only look smaller due to an optical illusion.
In any event, that begs the question...
That begs the question of why the Time Lords would design a TARDIS that way, though. Surely it would be far more sensible to design a TARIDS in such a way that it could sever its connection to whatever its external "portal" happens to have manifested itself as, and then generate a new "gateway" apparatus, if the "gateway" ever came under attack?
For instance, we see the TARDIS interior exploding and experiencing all sorts of damage after being dropped into the core of the Dalek Crucible in "Journey's End." Wouldn't it have been more sensible for the Time Lords to design a TARDIS that wouldn't be threatened by the destruction of its outer "shell?"
Glad to hear it.You really do produce amazing work, I don't in any way want to come across as dismissive of it. I just disagree with the premises upon which you base your work.
Well ... wow.
Has anyone seen this person's picture of what they think the inside of the TARDIS looks like? http://promus-kaa.deviantart.com/art/TARDIS-Interior-Cross-Section-52736490
I can't decide if you're a disturbed genius or just disturbed. Either way, this is very bloody nice work and a fascinating read. Thanks for posting!
^Honestly... What he said.
I'm both quite impressed and a little wary.
People like you remind me why I'll never actually be able to put my own ideas on paper with any hope of matching the initial spark of inspiration/creativity (that excited me so much in the first place) that I wanted to show others.
I just don't have that particular talent.
Well done that you do.
