Just wanted to cast my vote on your questions...

I personally like the McGann image with the pocket watch rather than the grizzled image. He appeared posh throughout the movie and I believe should be displayed that way on the spine and cover.

Thumbs up for using the Ood image you recommended.

As to the image of the War Doctor, I believe it should go near your Day and Time of the doctor section (to the right and intersecting Matt and Peter). Perhaps a thought may be to make him transparent compared to the other images, as he was something of a pariah in the story until his change of heart?

This is my favorite spanning set of the Doctor on this site! Well done!

Thanks for the reply, Corjan. I will be updating the Ood picture soon, but I will wait to add the War Doctor until I have the Capaldi section ready to go (which will not happen until Capaldi retires as the Doctor).

I will also be making some alternative covers starting with Eccelston, with the numbering reset (as the BBC did) so that those who only want to collect the new series can have a set that feels complete rather than part of another set.

Matt Smith is finished, although I realize that I didn't list Day of the Doctor and Time of the Doctor. My plan is to add those to the beginning of the first Peter Capaldi cover.

Which implies the answer to the other part of your question: yes, I intend to do the Peter Capaldi seasons. In fact, I am already working on them. However, I don't intend to do the spine design until Mr. Capaldi has finished his run as The Doctor. I need to know how many seasons he does so that I can make a nice spine image. I don't want it to look unbalanced like this. Of course, the only way to know for sure how many seasons he does is to wait until he's not doing any more.

So I can't even release covers for the existing seasons of Peter Capaldi, because they would have no spine images.

But don't worry; I fully intend to continue this project as long as the BBC continues Doctor Who. Shortly after each regeneration, I will release a batch of covers for the doctor that just left the show.

I have updated Volumes 6, 10, and 11 with better images on the front.

For those who are watching this thread and eagerly anticipating the Capaldi updates (that list includes at least me, and perhaps other people), you may find it interesting (or frustrating) to know that I have completed the first two Capaldi covers except for the spine. And I have come up with a basic spine design that assumes three Capaldi seasons, which I can modify if necessary to cover more seasons. What all this means is that there should not be very much lag time at all between the official announcement of Capaldi's departure from the show (whenever that happens to be) and my release of the covers for his seasons.

As I have said in previous posts, I absolutely will add all of the seasons for Peter Capaldi almost immediately after Capaldi resigns as the Doctor. I can't do it before then, because this is a spanning spine set, and I can't make the Capaldi section of the spines before I know how many spines that will be.

Remember when Paramount released a VHS boxed set of the first five Star Trek movies with a really cool Enterprise image spanning the spines of the VHS boxes, and then they made Star Trek VI, and just kind of tacked in on the end, like in this image, and now it looks really stupid and unbalanced? I'm not going to do that. The only way to know for sure how many spines to use for the Capaldi section is to not do them until Capaldi has been replaced. I have already done the fronts and backs of his first two seasons, so the complete set will be ready to go very soon after a new Doctor is announced.

Trust me, I want the set to be current just as much as anyone!
