"I hear this is aa libraary, yaa'll got aany books on caarbon daating? or gem/crystaal identificaation? " he walks in loudly on a mission

"A) lower your damn voice. B) yes we have books on carbon dating. they're in the geology room with the gemstone sample exhibit" Cerium stood from the desk and pointed down the hall. "Follow this one and check the signs near the ceiling. You'll be looking to follow the brown signs with yellow writing" She explained, half scowling at the newcomer. "And again, its a library keep your voice lower"

Faxon Firearms releases Streamline Carbon series handguards for AR-15

The Streamline Caarbon handguards by Faxon Firearms will launch with Ranier Arms in a 15-inch configuration. Additional models will follow. (Photo: Faxon Firearms) Faxon Firearms jumps into the carbon fiber game with the release of a new series of Streamline Carbon handguards for the AR-15. The rugged, yet lightweight handguards fuse Faxon’s patent-pending mounting architecture with Lancer Systems carbon-fiber. The rails mount to an AR-15 using a run of the mill, mil-spec AR barrel nut. http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2017/01/faxon-firearms-releases-streamline-carbon-series-handguards-for-ar-15-3463862.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Massive amounts of carbon are locked away in permafrost -- for how much longer?

Massive amounts of carbon are locked away in permafrost — for how much longer?

Click to enlarge — University of Laval ❝ Researchers have confirmed the widespread release of ancient carbon from melting Arctic permafrost in what could be the lit fuse on a climate-change bomb. A paper published this week in Nature Geoscience has released the first measurements of greenhouse gases from permafrost under Arctic lakes. But while the study confirms those gases locked away in ice…

caarbon is soooo cutie I love how you characterize him

Thanks a lot!!

my cutie patootie

bonsoir ! Je me demandais pourquoi les machinas ne peuvent pas manger en public et comment les nourrir à la main pouvais contourner ce problème. Désolé je n’ai pas très bien compris ta dernière explication

(D’ailleurs Waggon est absolument magnifique, je rougissais à mort pendant l’entièreté de ta bd)

Hellow! Y'a pas de souci, mon idée n'était pas claire:

Les Machinas n'aiment pas manger et dormir en présence de quelqu'un. Leur culture/espèce est basée sur une forme de fierté et de démonstration de force: ils se doivent toujours d'être dominants et à l'affut dans n'importe qu'elle situation.

Les moments de relaxation et de restauration de leur énergie sont alors considérés comme privés et cachés afin de ne pas se montrer dans une position "désavantageuse" d'après eux.

Être nourrit par une autre personne (notamment par un humain qui n'est pas contraint par ces aspects sociaux) n'entache pas l'image publique du Machina en plus de renforcer son contrôle de la situation.

Merci beaucouuuuuup :)))

🇬🇧 Translation:

Machinas don't like to eat and sleep with other people. Their culture/species is based on a display of power and pride: They always have to be perceived as leaders and being alert.

And so, any breaks or periods of rest are considered private and hidden in order to not exhibit any weak spot.

Being fed by someone else (a human, in the case of my comic, who's not restrained by those rules) doesn't cancel out Machina's charisma and even reinforces its control over the situation.

Carbon the tank engine and sibs!

CHOOCHOO

[surinnit]

I love them so much IF YOU DO MAKE THEM A COMIC HIRE ME

Hii!! I've been following your stuff for a while and I'm honestly OBSESSED !! I adore your art and concepts of the chitonians, as well as waggon and arrson and caarbon. They give me mega gender envy all of them 😭

Your art is incredible and so is your story!! Do you plan on eventually making a full-blown comic series or something of waggon and the others?

AAAAAAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH💙💙💙💙

I’m so happy to see people loving my choochoo people!

It's just a small project of mine for now but I wish I'll turn it into an actual big comic in the future!

For now on, I'll just draw as much scenes as I can with the train siblings! (One is already fully scripted and another one is planned).

[scopnotes]

Caarbon being a very careful freight train

[scopnotes]

Shirt cut meme with my train people!!

Waggon, Arrson and Caarbon

What a good way for practicing anatomy!

[scopnotes]

More of my train people!

Here is Caarbon, the old sibling and the most discreet one because his bro and sis are very loud

He’s a freight train and he can creates charcoal from the ground

aight deep lore time:

what is their basic life span?

where do they originate from?

adding onto the last one, have humans always known about them or are they a newly arrived species?

is their body composition different from humans and how so?

any particular diet or energy requirements for them to live? Oxygen? water? anything like that?

it seems they can shape shift, is it only to certain forms or can they become a wider array of shapes and sizes? mass shifting abilities?

any more back story on the parents of the three train kids?

do they possess any other powers? such as pyromancy or telekinesis, ect.

are there other autonomous/sentient species besides humans that they interact with?

I'll start with the last question and then I'll come back to the beginning.

The term 'Chtonian' was given by the humans in order to categorize the 'non-humans'. Its origin is from the belief that they come from the center of the Earth (which is false).

Those people are basically divided in 5 populations living with each other:

- The Machinas (Train/Transport People)

- The Comets (Sentient blob of water)

- The Converters (Rare arthropod like creatures)

- The Shadow People (Photosensitive beings)

- The Fungis (Sentient fungus, little is known about them)

All of them appeared differently and most believe it's 5 different gods that created them.

Their life span depend of the population, the comets are probably the oldest I think.

Train People probably live around ~500 years, something like that.

This species appeared when the god Machina appeared and divided its body in multiple parts (that believed to be train carts). In a good bunch of years appeared 4 species of Machinas that labelled themselves according to the direction where they were going to establish their territory (North, South, East and West). The train siblings family is a mix of the South and the East.

Humans know about Chtonians for a while now (a good bunch of centuries) but it’s still difficult for the both to live together.

Difficult to tell for the body composition, I’m still unsure about the biology. Chtonians like Converters, Machinas and Shadow People probably breathe oxygen and can eat like humans.

The whole Chtonian society is based on the ones that have the biggest quantity of energy called ‘Essence’.

Basically, the Essence is the vital energy of any living beings. It’s used as a currency between Chtonians. They basically share their energy between each other.

Unfortunately, humans seem to have only one fixed quantity of essence that they can’t share or recreate, causing them to be outcasted from Chtonian services.

Food and drinks exist but it’s mostly for little snacks that only ‘rich’ Chtonians dare buy for pleasure. The food is converted into extra essence for the consumer. The Machinas are considered being one of the ‘richest’ group of Cthonians and founded the country with their transports.

Turning into a train is a default capacity for the Machinas, the form is unique and depends of the person. I believe they can transform into only one specific form (for example, Waggon is a high-speed train and wouldn’t be able to shift into a tramway). Their look probably can evolve slightly while growing up.

ABOUT THE PARENTS: The dad (Ori) is from the East family and the mom (Austra) is from the South one. They can create railways together and both technically helped founding the siblings company. I don’t think they have any element related power unlike their children.

Aside that they are big buttholes towards their three children because they couldn’t meet their expectations in the job. Caarbon is the one suffering the most while Waggon was about to become the perfect daughter but her constant fights with her twin Arrson just makes her look immature. The parents have high hopes for their fourth kid though.

WOOOOOO THAT’S A LONG POST! Thank you for your interest in my art!

[scopnotes]

is there reason your train characters have a double letter in their names? i noticed and thought it might have some lore behind it

Thanks for asking!

It's just a fancy way for having a 'unique' name made from an actual existing word.

Waggon is just from the french word 'wagon' which means (train) carriage (and I just love this word by default).

Arrson = Arson, the double 'r' is for marking him sound harsh or passionate and the name origin is linked to the fact he can create fire.

Caarbon = Carbon, since he creates charcoal and I suppose the double vowel is for putting emphasis on the fact he's the smoothest or the chillest one of the group.
