Behold! Fan pups! A result of Summer heat!

Or...what Henry and Nia's pups would look like.

Noah's as big as a Maine Coon cat, and probably a struggle to get out (if you know what I mean)

November 2023 Art

as u can probably tell i did not pump out much art this month and the little i did do besides the big project is a lil basic or just working shit out, but erm, it's not Nothing, so thats good...!

vvv dates + info under the cut vvv

1 - 01/11/2023 : my half of an art trade with @toxicbunny from last year, i never posted it here oops, but its of her OC Luan <333 he was so fun to draw and im super happy with the results, esp playing around with texture a bit

2, 3 - 18/11/2023 : some random headshots of Heidi n Jasmine, think with Jasmine i was trying somethin a lil different with her hair

4 - 18/11/2023 : pen doodles.... a bit of trying to figure out some more human ttte designs, not perfect ofc, still naawt concrete on any kind of James design, like i know how he looks, but drawing hard </3 Thomas is also there hehe

5 - 18/11/2023 : another Heidi :D i think i wanted to draw her with her hair up like that, erm, i forget, but hey JTHM shirt, very epic, it was on my mind, i had the silly idea post-drawing this that she has insomnia and the shirt is an inside joke, coz she thinks shes funny

6, 7 - 18/11/2023 : (only by a margin coz i was drawing late again) lil human Diesel pen doodles again, this time we're doing the REDESIGN!! almost there anyway. mostly just a redesign of his hair somewhat, also Philip is just there (much like the show (jk i kinda love Philip for no reason other than hes a little guy)) not much to say here other than drawing bad on purpose is fun x

8 - 25/11/2023 : was thinking about book covers, forgot why, but also on the name of my story for Ru, Toni, those fellows, usually i just call it Violet, but i feel maybe its a bit, nothing, idk, like its not catchy enough, so i have another idea of expanding it into You, me, & Violet, and heres a quick mockup of what a book cover for it could look like.. u can tell i got graphic design qualifications from the late 2010s x (shut up i luv this doodle)

9-11 - 25/11/2023 : Robin redesigns.. again.. just some concept doodles, mostly just a change to his hair and his top, i thought adding more colour was essential, so, he'd usually wear like minty green colour trainers, i made those and, by extension, his jumper, the same blue colour, which isn't Too blue, it's still a little bit greeny, very slightly, just for some harmony in his design.. will need to draw more of this concept to really get a concrete final design

vvv dates + info under the cut vvv

1 - 03/10/2023 : another of my faves of last year, was trying to get better at drawing trainz, so just Edward and Toby hanging out, displaying the duality of old men x

2 - 04/10/2023 : got a new puter! one of the first things i set to doing after getting set up was to draw a Ru, of course, it was also just me trying to get used to the new MS paint..... it feels very odd

3, 4, 5 - 06/10/2023 : part 1 of redrawing random pics i have of Edward on my phone with my human version of him, this was really fun tbh, and the third here is one of my fave drawings of the year probs.. like sir.. those look heavy... what big uhh.. Glasses.. you have

6, 7, 8 - 07/10/2023 : part 2! i think i just like drawing his face... dare i say this train is cunty or will that get me exiled

9 - 08/10/2023 : something stupid i thought of and couldn't get out of my head for days so had to draw it..... little johnny from oingo boingo's only a lad, doing what he does best, fantasising about radios he wants oh so bad and running people down with a boyish craving for blood.. based on that 1 meme of the guy driving and thinking of a thing then making that insane face

10 - 09/10/2023 : based on that 1 silly vargskelethor song (that could not be less specific), had Shed 17 on the brain and was reminded of the milk song where the skeleton comes out.. thomarse dank 2 much milk and died..

11, 12 - 10/10/2023 : chooshada again :333 first a little doodle on my phone bc i was wondering about her livery, i do think she'd have originally been NER apple green but then painted NWR colours, butttt with a twist... coz i can do whatever i like... the twist is just that she's painted dark blue rather than a sky blue, coz its more her colour x

ALSO MS paint shada, wanted to draw her more uh, idk, detailed ig, idk i love this one, it also served as more train practice

13 - 13/10/2023 : previous one, but with COLOUR!! not much 2 say other than that shes very cute

14 - 18/10/2023 : saw a tweet abt old photos of engine crews posing with their crashed locos and how the NWR crews would do that, made me think of how, if Toni was (choo)shada's driver, she'd do that.. probably x .. very like her to slay in the midst of a terrible accident

15 - 22/10/2023 : predictably, i have some playlists for the ttte engines, one for Diesel which is notable here, so uhh, i have the scrapped song from the lorax "biggering" in there, bc i see it as like a Duck vs Diesel song, ik im surpassing several layers of cringe here but hear me out ok... i drew this at 2am coz i couldn't stop thinking of Duck lecturing Diesel

16, 17, 18 - 25/10/2023 : speaking of playlists, think i was listening to my Robin one here, and felt like drawing him, i have "the land of make believe" in there, which ive always found to be an oddly haunting song, so this is semi based on that, though that wouldn't be apparent if i hadn't just told u x .. this looks like vent art but tis not i was just having fun

also tiny chooshada, i was in the middle of writing something which i have literally Just remembered now and i was writing a scene where Ru is stuck between some characters who shes not looking forward to working with bc they're about to bicker the whole fuckin time and one of them thinks shes a dick, so i drew her being sad that shes forced to work with morons..... and speak of the devil, 3rd drawing is here with 2 of the aforementioned morons :D i think D+D take a liking to her, they're just a little obnoxious (love them for that)

19 - 27/10/2023 : a quick(ish) digital thing of Chooshada again that i did on the side of another project, more engine drawing practice he he, she'll be out of proportion and lacking detail but really it was just to not be too hard on myself about that, it did help i think to understand how to draw her more, plus just look at her lil face... also she has a number here, doesn't mean much other than 8 being her lucky number, other than 11, like those are just her numbers, suppose i could have it be 1188 to ref her bday, idfk x

July 2023 Art

vvv dates + info under the cut vvv

1 - 03/07/2023 : one of my fave drawings of this year! Sage and Buttercup hangin out, Sage is.. not good at taking photos, meanwhile Butters is defo a bit of a shutterbug, just brothers who are total opposites of one another

2 - 07/07/2023 : twas thinking of Kubo again at this point and wanted to doodle him, hes a bit emo but thats ok x

3, 4 - 18/07/2022 : 2 pen doodles (spooky!) of Ru n Toni, i wanted to doodle them semi realistic, mostly exploring their facial features, Toni is my fave of these 2 coz honestly thats exactly how id imagine she'd look, with her rounder features and a bit of a pronounced chin, her smaller (height wise) nose, generally smaller and rounder features than Ru... Ru's eyes are quite pretty here tho... u will see more pen doodles soon

5 - 19/07/2023 : saw a post (think its on my OC tag blog actually) about hard lad bisexual men walking into poles and busting their noses and walking away pretending like nothing happened, and it immediately made me think of Caspian, so i drew him having a nose sploot and trying to act cool, he'd promptly walk away snorting with his hands in his pockets and spitting

6, 7 - 20/07/2023 : back 2 basics Ru! one of my fave Rushada drawings, dressed a lil differently and proposing a life where she was a worm... would u still love her? be honest x

2nd one, i think im funny he he.. Surge in the sonic OVA meme pose calling Kit Wails (like wa tails. like wario. so surge is probably wonic.) i had a lot of fun drawing this tbh and im happy with the execution

8 - 25/07/2023 : no way.. Ru and her weird cat (Luisa)....... i said somethin like that and it made me think of them as the Spirit Phone cover art, so i drew this, another of my faves, this was a good month for art despite not drawing much

9 - 26/07/2023 : another of Ru n Luisa, i think Ru's hair is long enough for Luisa to hide in if she wants, probably when she's upset, Ru doesn't quite know how to react, which is a common thing with her and Luisa coz thats not her kid she just happens to get stuck babysitting her.. i luv Ru here shes adorable

10, 11 - 30/07/2023 : phone doodles! tried planning out what Trixie's fullbody would look like, im pleased with this but will have to do a fully detailed drawing at some point. last one is a silly TTTE reference, i think Trixie likes to honk at Richie bc she is very rude x
