}}An '''untitled illustration''' by [[Lee Sullivan]] was published in the article '''''We Are Time's Champions''''', from ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 267|issue 267]]. The image depicts [[Bernice Summerfield]], a character originally designed by Sullivan, sitting under a tree.

Part of the art would be featured several months later on the first ''Doctor Who Universe'' releases by [[Big Finish Productions]], starting with [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Oh No It Isn't! (audio story)|Oh No It Isn't!]]'' It was also used as the full cover of the audio anthology ''[[Buried Treasures (audio anthology)|Buried Treasures]]'', although the Seventh Doctor was painted out. The image was likely also influential to the earliest promotional images of [[Lisa Bowerman]] as the character, which also featured her underneath a large tree.

== Worldbuilding ==

[[Lee Sullivan]] was the artist who originally designed [[Bernice Summerfield]]. His first illustrations of her were featured in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Travelling Companions (feature)|Travelling Companions]]''.

 

Although Sullivan's website claims this illustration was made for ''Doctor Who Magazine'', it would become widely used in the early [[Big Finish Productions]] ''[[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]]'' audios later that year. Big Finish would also do a photoshoot with [[Lisa Bowerman]] as the character, which included her recreating the pose from this illustration.
