First sprint done

I managed to draw (albeit not post) thirty daleks in thirty days.

I'll have a break, do some other stuff and then come back to it.

Feel free to leave any suggestions for more elaborate drawings and I might take you up on them...

Scheduler

Many of us follow our timetables blindly. Daleks take advantage of this, getting themselves into office positions in which they are in charge of our many timetables. Soon the revised calender will have us all dancing to a different tune.

–verb (used with object), -lat·ed, -lat·ing.
1.

Daleks just wanna have fun

Dalek Alt and Dalek Per are now so consumed by their game that not even tanks can distract them from it. I hear rumours that the other daleks have formed a betting pool on the outcome of the game...

Mountaineer

Certainly being able to levitate takes much of the danger and hardship out of exploring the mountain wilderness. Does that really mean we should not afford the adventuring Dalek any less respect than his intrepid human counterparts?

See how he selflessly triggers avalanches so that they do not harm the unwary.

Party coordinator

This dalek's stint as a party coordinator was short lived. He was let go after a misunderstanding regarding the rules of the game 'murder in the dark'

Linguistic Scholar

Daleks love the study of dead languages. This passion allows them to slide into the world of linguistic academia. They especially love the study of languages that are dead because of their own actions...

In the spirit of sportsmanship

Dalek Alt and Dalek Per are most obliging to one another in their synonym game. There is a lesson to be learned here. Games are about fun and participation. Now if only the daleks could learn compassion for humanity as well as sportsmanship.
