Me: 3rd session on a new casual survival world.
Also Me: thinking aloud how i never found a fortress in any casual survival sessions since 2012/13 Or so.
Minecraft:

Welp. After 7 years the ipad died. A day before my scheduled art backup day. Good news is i upload some them here and via other socials So can at least save those finish pieces.
downside, i may have to start a handful from scratch and may no longer be able to edit older pics.
either way…. Bollocks😑

A DMU. Based on the one in the NRM
Must admit, this one is slightly bodged, specifically the chassis and shading and number of window further down the body.
Other than that. Happy with the shape overall as I don’t think I’ve doodled a multi-unit before.

Another doodle of another of my favourite engines
Must admit, slightly lost confidence during the sketching phase (see previous post), but think i got her look down overall, albeit with some simplification.

“I saw, over the trees on Primrose Hill, the fighting machine from which the howling came…”
Initially an idle scribble, but opted to digitalise it for shading practice. Just a rough and ready doodle, but does its job.

Latest project, my favourite #Steamroller, “Moby Dick”.
This one was different and difficult as I’m not used to drawing road vehicles, but i think i managed fine (on the 5th attempt)

A quick colour swap to make George the steamroller. Bit off model but does its job.
Opted to make him part of the sodor construction company (renamed here). or rather, formerly given his record… i see him being sent away or sold an awful lot…

Appeal launched for CoBo locomotive V8 engine
The Class 15 Preservation Society has launched an appeal to raise the funds to complete work on the Crossley V8 engine. The society is restoring D5705 to working condition and is based at the East Lancashire Railway. The Crossley HSTVEE8, designed in the 1950s, was last turned over in 1974…

I’m not usually one to comment on these things, so Bluntly put.
Was hoping to open up vehicle doodles as a commission option once summer cools off. Now, seems it’s out the question as the direct messaging is disabled. so couldn’t talk to any potential customers, even if i was already open. 1/2?

Proof, if ever it were needed, that steam, stunning scenery, and a little railway magic go a long way.
What a weekend — and more to come.

a simplified doodle of my Favourite steam roller
Had a photo of an old doodle from around 2013 or so on hand, so decided to make something of it. Think it was originally copied from photo of a George the steamroller toy, hence the simple look.
