So, here's the story behind this drawing. Well, there isn't really an interesting story actually. But there is a reason why it took me a long time to finish it.

Basically, I almost finished it last week, only had a few little wibbly-wobbly graphity-whapity things to do, but then "The Angels Take Manhattan" was broadcasted, miss Gillan's character (who I am deeply in love with) died and I just couldn't bear even looking at the drawing until tonight because I'm just too emotionally attached to fictional characters.
It took a lot of strength to even write 'portrayed' (so that's past sense) in the first sentence of this description which is, by the way, getting way too long.
