Description

An updated and elaborated version of my old TARDIS X-section Illustration.
The background of the strange "onion" layer approach I have used here can be found with the original:

This new version is intended for direct use with the Prime Control cross-section project and reflects its particular details. It will likely appear in some corner of the final poster print.

In the process of updating, I am also actively working to reconcile this with the canon interpretations of TARDIS architecture, showing how the "Time Sceptre" in fact comprises the core structures around which a more elaborate complex could reasonably be constructed — and suggesting how stripped down the Doctor's derelict, old Type 40 had become in contrast to the fully outfitted expeditionary model shown here.

(No margin made for the popular, alternative "floating island" model of interlinked chambers, though — I simply find it too whimsical, unoriginal, and insufficiently weird-yet-logical for the work of a hyper-advanced alien civilization that routinely twists space and time to suit its whims and ambitions as a matter of course).

I will update the version here as it develops. It remains to be seen if I will offer a standalone print of this illustration when complete.

So in your design, the TARDIS is basically a planetoid with its own gravity? Honestly, that's a very simple and very satisfying depiction!
