When Sutekh was revealed during Ncuti Gatwa's run as The Doctor, I instantly knew I needed the giant Death Puppy in my life in some form.

The more I thought about it, the more an idea formed. Weeks after the episode aired, I drew a simple stick figure sketch on a sticky note at work.
From that, the cosplay just evolved.
While the final look for NYCC 2025 is missing components I would like to incorporate, I am happy with how it turned out.
In the end, instead of a stuffed head hanging over my shoulder, I created a hat so that I was both Sutekh and the TARDIS. The eyes are lit with red LEDs, too.

Sutekh's body is a velvet cloak with a tattered cloth cape attached. Some gold ribbon cut into various shapes and some rope created the necklaces.
I modified a dress from Amazon by adjusting the belted decorations and adding pockets, a few patches, and a modified door sign. (Patches used: Police Public Call Box, Bad Wolf) To combat the cool weather, I finished the look with black pants and black shoes.
