ENTER: Doctor Who Avatar contest – "Scary Faces."

[Gepard]

This week, in honor of the Smilers, we celebrate Doctor who characters making scary faces. Snarls, glares, grins, frowns, with teeth or fangs or whatever, if it's frightful, it's in.

Now to make this a little more challenging: it can't only be a character that looks scary just sitting there. So no Beast From the Pit or Prisoner Zero standing around looking all toothy without trying; that's cheating! But, say, a Smiler putting it's angry face on, a Weeping Angel about to feed or The Doctor preparing to scare a Dalek – that's what I'm talking about. (Note you can enter naturally scary characters if they're doing something extra frightening with their faces. I just don't want any old screencap because with the plethora of scary beasties in the show, that would get old fast.)

So get creative and send 'em in. Standard board rules apply, no larger than 140x140 and 70Kb. Poll goes up end of Friday, so you have all week.

This isn't going to be big on dignity, so...Geronimo!

 

[Starkers]

Ok I think you need to clarify this, because on the one hand you say it can't just be a creature that naturally looks scary just sitting there, then you suggest the Smilers!

 

[Starkers]

Ok, hope this counts...

 

[Gepard]

...then you suggest the Smilers!

Well, yeah, but they don't always have the angry face. To my mind, it counts as an "expression" to the extent that they have two other faces that they can switch between, rather like we might smile, frown, yell, and so forth. So the angry head is them trying to be fearful, rather than being incidentally scary by nature of their design.

It's like the difference between Prisoner Zero snarling at Amy in the room when she first sees it (good for this contest) versus it standing there with a neutral expression when the Atraxi (sp?) take it/her away (not good for this contest). They're both scary, technically, what with the deep-sea fish face full of teeth and all, but only one is a "scary face," if you catch my drift. This of this as a contest where the character is trying to scare the crap out of somebody. (So, yes, yours counts.)

Cool

 

[od0_ital]

Come on now, ya know that little bastard was scary!

 

[Starkers]

Not really doing anything differently with his face though is he?

He is pointing.

 

[Gepard]

He is pointing.

True. He's trying to intimidate someone, so I'll allow it.

 

[John Picard]

Don't Blink.

His eyes are really expressive, if ya look long enough.

YAY!

Ha ha, I suppose he could be doing anything under the mask

'Kay, here's mine. Christina Cole's witch character from "The Shakespeare Code" looked sorta scary to begin with, but here she gives it her all to put a fright into that lad who came home with her.

 

[Demonland]

Here's mine from The Waters of Mars:

A little obvious, but couldn't resist:

 

[Gepard]

You're right, it is kind of obvious – John Picard already did it upthread.

 

[Venardhi]

Hush you. Mine has flickering!

 

[John Picard]

Hush you. Mine has flickering!

If I had your skills, mine would have been something like that

I'll give it a go:
