Nearly 110 years since the Northern Western Railway was formed, engine number 1 ‘Thomas’ is still going strong. The railway’ current controller, Mrs Emily Hatt, still takes the time to personally check on all her engines. Finally drawn our number 1 🩵 #rws #therailwayseries #thomasandfriends

Tidmouth 1915 sees A mysterious new arrival. Despite some initial confusion, The Fat Director is quite impressed with the new acquisition… Colour version of last post. #rws #therailwayseries #thomasandfriends

Tidmouth 1915 sees A mysterious new arrival. Despite some initial confusion, The Fat Director is quite impressed with the new acquisition… Had to draw him eventually, but thought i”d try something different with him. #rws #therailwayseries #thomasandfriends

One afternoon, NWR number 4 ‘Gordon’ sits idle and cold-boilered by the coal stage in preparation for a series of specials later in the week. Took a couple attempts, but managed to get Gordon done. Quite happy with how this one turned out. #rws #therailwayseries #thomasandfriends

A regular sight on the North Western Railway. Engine number 3 ‘Henry’ awaits orders to head out of Tidmouth harbour with the Flying Kipper. Slightly bodged the Tender and Vans, but think i got the Stanier look well, overall. #rws #therailwayseries #thomasandfriends

As it’s 80 years since the railway series was first published, lets start with The engine who started it all… #therailwayseries #thomasandfriends #rws

Should really post here more often, but have very little to say or show…

He dream… Just a quick doodle to pass some time today

Gordon has been away. He was on the mainland hauling railtours to promote 80 years of the books that made the NWR famous worldwide. He arrived home earlier this year, just in time for the Sudrian celebrations to begin! #thomasandfriends #railwayseries

Thought it time to actually draw one of my own Character, The grumpy Lion, for a change. Still getting used to the more cartoony styling, but think its working out fine.

Thank you, Britt Allcroft, for making our childhoods that much more magnificent

Every fantasy rpg ever…. Wasn’t planning on uploading these types of OC (at least, not my own ones) but felt i needed to show some more of my doodles and been on a fantasy kick of late. Anyhow, meet Sapphyrus the minotaur (name still pending)

doodled from last year, An unnamed Ivatt character. Currently nicknamed “Somerset” as thats where her number is currently located Be my Last rail pic for now because i don’t doodle them as often as i’d like to. The Next one will be likely be faceless though. #art #railway #locomotive

Dilly had been missing for some time. The Engines of the little western were getting worried. Until one morning, Donald Pulled into Haultraugh with a local, and had quite the surprise waiting for him… Originally doodled in January. I need to draw some more engines in the future #railwayseries

Strikira striking a pose So been slowly getting back into the superhero genre recently, and discovered this hero created by @strikira.bsky.social . I had heard of her through other collaborative stories but never read any of her own outings. Until recently and i am hooked💛 #doyoudare

Sometimes you just need a moments calm away from being a gentleman space pirate. Random doodle thats been sitting idle for weeks. Needed to draw some more wholesome slice of life pics. #starfox #fanart

#fanart of the “present” #starfox team Except for Fox, the team is a mix and match of versions. Falco a cross between assault and adventure, slippy assault and comic, with peppy in his General attire from command. Original draw 28th/29th May 2023 Characters belong to Nintendo

#fanart of the “original” #starfox team. As i Needed a 4th member to fill the space, Original considered ROB, but then has a “what if” moment Peppy is mainly based on his earlier snes counterpart, while wolf is a mix of ultimate and SF2. Characters belong to Nintendo

Original drawn 23/10/2023 A doodle based on #Starfox adventures, with a few modifications in the way the characters costumes look Overall, happy with how this turned out. Characters shown belong to Nintendo #fanart

Just to dip my toes in, heres a few random #fanart #doodles of mine from this year. No character represented her belongs to me and were simply drawn for fun.

Well, finally caved and signed up. See how this goes.
