# Gothic Science Fiction Art This Doctor Who Tim Burton Artwork is the Perfect Mashup By Angela Rajic | Published 2013-12-09 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doctor-who-tim-burton References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=705502179482688&set=a.111295035570075.8930.110298935669685&type=1&theater) & [michaelthepure.deviantart](http://michaelthepure.deviantart.com/art/Doctor-Burton-9-417309969) Doctor Who fans have, like most geeks, multiple fandoms and one artist, MichaelthePure is creating the ultimate Doctor Who Tim Burton portrait set. There are five portraits finished in the series so far: The Eigth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors and John Hurt’s War Doctor from the Day of the Doctor 50th anniversary episode. MichaelthePure intends on illustrating the first seven Doctors from the classic series in the same manner. These fantastic Doctor Who [Tim Burton mashups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-burton-light-trail) have each character illustrated in the same [cartoon Gothic style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego) seen in most of Burton’s animated features, including [The Nightmare Before Christmas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1) and The Corpse Bride. Over-sized narrow heads with heavily lidded eyes on skinny bodies is the common set of traits, but each portrait carries hints of each characters personality, from the dark to goofy to the sad and tired. These portraits are fun and visual enticing, and the style will prove an interesting blend with some of the other Doctors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gothic Cartoon Art:** Opportunity for creatives to explore darker, cartoonish interpretations of classic characters. - **Fandom Mashups:** Opportunity for artists and entertainment companies to create crossover art and merchandise that caters to multiple fan bases. - **Nostalgic Revival Art:** Opportunity for artists to revive and combine different artistic styles from the past to create new and unique pieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Opportunities for TV and film studios to produce and merchandise crossover content. - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for artists to create and sell niche fan art and expand their reach by catering to multiple fan bases. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunities for companies to use nostalgic crossover art in their marketing campaigns to appeal to a diverse customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Filmmaker-Honoring Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-world-of-tim-burton.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-1.md) - [Gothic Style Perforated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog.md) - [Spooky Cartoon Beauty Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mad-beauty-1.md) - [Dark Collab Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Nostalgic Dragon Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ground-dragon.md) - [Whimsical Collaborative Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asterisk-1.md)
