Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor materializes in an adorable chibi-style reimagining through comic book artist George Jeanty's Doctor Who artwork. Eccleston's groundbreaking modern take on the Time Lord made his debut in 2005's season 1, ushering in the return of the sci-fi series to television screens and the beginning of the show's revival era. The Ninth Doctor, after healing from pain and loss throughout the season, would sacrifice his life in the season finale 'The Parting of the Ways', though Eccleston would return for Big Finish's Doctor Who audio drama range.
With March 27th marking 19 years since Doctor Who's revival began, Jeanty kicked off a new personal project on his Instagram, reimagining each incarnation of the Time Lord in a chibi style. Jeanty, who has worked on Superman, X-Men, and the canon continuation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the comic book adaptations of Star Wars' The Mandalorian and Ahsoka series, began this project with Eccleston's Ninth Doctor, as the time lord brandishes his sonic screwdriver. Alongside a fitting somber look, the artist also emphasized the incarnation's ears as a nod to a running gag throughout the season.
