Now before you say "Hold the phone, Deryn's not in this and this isn't twenties related!" I have to explaining.
This is baised off a scene from the Great Gatsby, in which Gatsby looks a a green light on the other side of the harbor, which symbolizes a woman that he can never have. Thus the green light is symbolically Deryn. ^_^
Also if you haven't read the Great Gatsby, go to your library right now and start reading!

My first impression was that he looks like Austria, from Hetalia. And now that's all I can see this as. (Still great artwork, though. XD)

Haha! Now that you mention it you have a point.
Actually it seems like I always draw Alek like Austria (maybe because Dalek kinda reminds me of Austria/Hungary :D)

Oh, I haven't read The Great Gatsby, but my English teacher adores it and had nerdy moments in front of my class (why I love my English teacher). That's so sad though! But the artwork is beautiful!

Does that mean Alek throws giant Gatsby-style parties as well? :D

In the books at one of the parties it says that he has a pink suit.

:o

I didn't finish the book, so that's probably why I don't remember Gatsby having a pink suit. That's cool :)

I have to read this book for my Summer Reading... so I'll probably be able to relate to this in the future.
Otherwise, nice shading!
