A 1966 publicity photo of Dodo outside the TARDIS from The Bell of Doom was surely used as a reference by the artist who drew The Vampire Plants strip for The Dr Who Annual 1970.
Jackie Lane (Dodo) poses in front of the TARDIS on Wimbledon Common from Doctor Who: The Bell of Doom (1966). Illustration of the TARDIS from the comic strip story The Vampire Plants, published in The Dr Who Annual 1970 (1969).

Some "Mawdryn Undead" art, as seen in the Celestial Toyroom 2026 Annual, available via the link below...
www.dwasonline.co.uk/ct_annual
Photoshopped montage of the 1983 Doctor Who story "Mawdryn Undead" - on the left is Turlough (Mark Strickson) facing outwards, to the right is the 5th Doctor, also facing outwards. Behind them centrally is the Black Guardian (Valentine Dyall), and below him is Mawdryn (David Collings). Positioned below them in the bottom third of the picture is a pathway surround by trees and bushes, a large metallic sphere with an open doorway sits beside the path. Behind the sphere, on either side of it are two versions of the Brigadier (Nicholas Courtney).

Happy 62nd Birthday, Doctor Who 🥳🎉
Photoshopped artwork of the very first Doctor Who story, "An Unearthly Child" (1963) - the TARDIS has landed on a barren, prehistoric landscape as the shadow of an unseen figure falls before it. Against an ominous sky, William Hartnell's Doctor is positioned on the left, and his grand-daughter, Susan Foreman (Carole Ann Ford) is on the right, with the TARDIS placed between them.

One small part I'm super-proud of is my (re)colorisation of frames from the classic Fifth Doctor strip 'The Tides of Time', including Dave Gibbons' stunning opening page displaying the Event Synthesizer in all its magnificence.
