Wallpaper OC #1 - The Rings of Akhaten

I've put together some "Doctor Who" OC, from "The Rings of Akhaten". It's one of the greatest speeches I've ever heard or read, actual or fictional. The emotion that one can associate with his memories only adds to the heat of the moment. As the pic is a rather huge wallpaper, I'll get to it after the break, and first link a YouTube video that splices the speech with prior scenes for a great effect:


The words, and the art, after the break:


The Doctor confronts the people's "god" who is feeding off of their dreams and emotions and aspirations, and hopes, and fears... and he offers himself and his own, knowing that his 1,100+ years of existence--and that of a time lord!--would quench the desire of the beast. The scene with him standing, silhouetted against the wrathful countenance of a star-god, is poetry and art. His speech makes it powerful.

Doctor Who - The Rings of Akhaten Speech
Matt Smith certainly had a flair for the dramatic, and this speech was no different.
