Zinc faces I worked on today

[specialtrees01]

This is an amazing piece of art and I love these redesigns for the two of them. I just want to note that Big Mac and Warrior's hat rims are actually different colors. Big Mac's is actually black while Warrior's is blue. Hard to spot in the show itself (especially with the VHS rips) but more easily seen in pictures.

I was thinking about Big Mac and Warrior’s unfinished designs for Fortezza Big City. Are they outdated or they are still the same?

you remembered them! their designs from more than a year ago were made on a whim to get the idea of how they'd look like down. obviously, I wasn't very satisfied, so here they are in their fully colored glory

even though big mac acknowledges warrior's capability, he always felt a strong urge to keep an eye out for him, like a big brother or mentor of some sort (good thing warrior doesn't mind it). either because he's considered the klutz of the star fleet, or because of something much more personal...

Doodle for Zero and Zorran's birthdays

[specialtrees01]

Hi good morning how are you. I just rewatched the Christmas special like 7 times. I enjoyed it so much.

anyways, who is your favorite star fleet tug and the zero fleet tug?

Favorite Star Tug would be Top Hat, no contest. Favorite Z-Stack... Zorran, Zip and Zug. Can't choose between 'em lol.

I love Zak too, although that's mainly due to headcanons and ideas expanding upon what we see in the show and early concepts/deleted scenes. Zebedee... least interesting in terms of writing, given how High Winds is the only episode in TUGS to explore a Z-Stack deeper, thus already having all the work done for expanding.

Yes, they are fan made. Most of those titles were done by yours truly. Mainly done as a way to make the episodes easier to remember with some silly titles lol.

Most were entirely original, more outstanding ones including "Down in the Dumps" and "The Best Zero", but some were reusing titles from older YouTube uploads of the segments by themselves, "Otis the Movie Star" and "Zug Gets Blamed".

Reason for the change in title was due to them not really fitting what the TUGS segments were about. Don't think "Desperately Seeking Sadie" works for the context of the TUGS segment alone.

In the video titles however (the titles here), plus the description, are for the Salty's Lighthouse episode these originate from, for those strong enough to watch the non-TUGS stuff in Lighthouse (can't stand the animated bits personally lol).

All the videos on the channel, along with the profile picture and banner, were edited together by myself as well.

Link to said channel here for those who want to watch just the segments:

Woah, you’re back!

Hey, uh, would you mind answering a question I have about Salty’s Lighthouse?

So, I looked up the show and noticed that someone had uploaded the TUGS segments to YouTube-with titles that weren’t just the titles of the episode the segment appeared in.

And then, confusingly, I found that different places on the Internet had different titles for the SAME TUGS segments.

I heard that the segments’ titles were given in episodes’ credits, but I checked the credits and couldn’t find them, so…. where did these segment names come from? Are any of them official, or were they all just made up by fans?

Sorry if this ask is a bit long.

the titles for the tugs’ segments seem to be fan-made! i took a look at the credits of a full episode to verify, and the tugs segments are just listed as “boat segment(s)” rather than having titles of their own, and wikipedia doesn’t list any titles solely for the tugs segments

Hercules VS. Zak - A Fan Story

So, I published this awhile back, but after seeing @jayjay667's super cool fanart of it, decided to share here.

Hercules runs into Zak, they talk, and then other things sure happen after that. Maybe some scraps and scratches.

Hercules vs Zak

(inspired by one little fanfiction, I didn 't dig into the details of processing too much 😓 the perfectionist's problem )

[specialtrees01]

Are you a TUGS fan?

Do you want to talk to other TUGS fans?

Then head on down to Bigg City Dispatch, where we all talk Talking Tugboats and other TUGS related sillies!

I like this a lot.

It’s Ten cents! I just love the way @castorfell draw him so much I have to try it myself…

I draw Ten cents base on the Regatta annual illustration where Ten cents and Hercules seem to be the only two tugs decorated with flowers. 🤔 (The others tugs pull barges decorated with flowers but the tugs themselves don’t have any flowers on them)

I also put him in a night light for modern boat parade too.

Lastly, here’s classic Ten cents.

Original TUGS Trainz Scene

Based on a scene that's present in the 2nd draft script to "Sunshine", I give you a loose adaption of that scene, in Trainz and with voice actors!

My first time doing anything Trainz related, so I hope you all enjoy!
