Daryl Joyce is an illustrator whose work has appeared in most BBC-licensed publications. He has been particularly active in the 2000s, offering freelance illustrations to most publishing concerns that have enjoyed an official BBC license to print Doctor Who material. His efforts have been particularly well-received by Doctor Who Magazine, the official BBC website, and the various annual publications that have been published by Panini and BBC Books.
A substantial amount of his work has centered around providing illustrations that did not appear with a story's original publication. For instance, he was deeply involved with illustrating the ebooks that the official website put online in the early 2000s. Thus, he drew for things like Human Nature, Nightshade, Lungbarrow, The Scales of Injustice, and The Well-Mannered War. As the BBC's illustrator for the short story, "The Feast of the Stone", he's one of the very few people outside of the original animators to professionally publish imagery of the Shalka Doctor. He also provided a significant amount of illustrative work for Doctor Who Magazine. Sometimes his art has accompanied reviews of Big Finish Productions audio stories, as did his Dust Breeding artwork, or interviews with authors, as with his alternative Sixth Doctor imagery of Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible. Still, in the pre-BBC Wales days, he did once provide original publication art for the Eighth Doctor Telos Novella, Fallen Gods.
Joyce's images of the 1963 version of Doctor Who were particularly featured in DWM #310, where a "What if?" article about swapping Doctors in different stories allowed him to pit Zoe against Zygons, to give a new version of K9 to the First Doctor and Steven, and to posit other purely conceptual notions.
However, it was the BBC Wales era that gave Joyce the opportunity to provide illustrations to the original publication of Doctor Who stories. From 2006, Joyce was a fairly regular contributor to Doctor Who annual publications. Thus, he was the primary artist for stories involving both the ninth and tenth Doctors, including: "Pitter-Patter", "Cuckoo-Spit", "Grand Theft Planet!", and "Corner of the Eye".
