Another alternative cover, this time it makes more sense: The first Bernice Summerfield audio in the style of Season 2 onward (up to the box sets) cover illustrations.
Compassion! She is a character from the 8th Doctor novels who first appeared in Interference. In the future where she comes from humans do whatever the TV signals tell them to do and have no free will, so the Doctor takes her with him to make her more "human". Because he can't be sure she won't be influenced by such signals once more and turn against him, he links her to the TARDIS (who sends signals that are sympathetic to the Doctor). This changes Compassion gradually and ends up turning her into the first sentient humanoid TARDIS.

A cover for the 1999 two-part novel Intereference if it was a Big Finish Monthly Adventure. Inspired by the early 8th Doctor Main Range cover design, but staying true to the covers of the two novels.
‘The Faction knows one thing for sure,’ the shadow told him, and it folded its hands in front of its face when it spoke, so they vanished into the darkness of its body. ‘The Faction knows that everything’s aesthetics. There’s no path of righteousness. There’s no politics, apart from show politics. Sarah Jane Smith cried when she saw ET, but two hundred thousand people died in East Timor and it was all she could do to go “tsch”. Aesthetics is how the Faction keeps control.’

Alternative cover for the Virgin New Adventures novel “Dead Romance” inspired by the style of the old Bernice Summerfield books and audios as illustrated by Adrian Salmon.
The image depicts the character Christine Summerfield reaching out towards a “clone tank”. The creature in the corner is called a “Sphinx” within the book and described as dragon-like with a big black lens for a head in which one can see ones own reflection.
We make things out of sin, with blood and human skin;
We make things out of dust, so we can smash them up.

I feel as if I’ve walked into the middle of someone else’s adventure.
Here's the third Doctor in Interference! Still not over that book, I think that it will be a while
A little painting inspired by the EDA Faction Paradox arc. I'm at the last book of that arc :^o
It took him a moment to work out that the TARDIS scanner had extended to fill the entire room, enveloping them in a 360‐degree view of their immediate surroundings in space.
(…)
A dozen yards from him now, Fitz saw that the tiny six‐sided TARDIS console was drifting in the middle of nowhere, like a tired grey mushroom floating in soup. Unfazed by the feet that he was walking in midair, or maybe just unaware of it, the Doctor scampered and danced in space around the console.
Even before he noticed the unfamiliar scowl on the Doctor’s long face, Fitz knew something had gone badly wrong, inadmissibly wrong. The Doctor’s random movements over the controls betrayed a hopelessness, a fear, and not the capricious indifference that marked his usual confident control of the ship.
(…)
a flaring blue fireball barrelled towards them at a colossal, impossible speed. At the last moment it veered away, scorching off into the vacuum. Fitz ducked. He peered out from the unlikely shelter of the console.
I added the Faction Paradox logo to the back of my jacket and it occured to me that people who don't know what that is might not think immediately of a Doctor Who spinoff but perhaps a band or something. So I was inspired
