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:
I lasted about 20 seconds before the blaze in the background and an unseen wither skelly told me to go away.

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…

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 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.

“Down the mine, is he?” laughed Gordon, “What a joke!”
My belated contribution to the #rws80 celebration. As the pilot was released too, I thought a 2 in 1 tribute was needed.
Honestly, very happy how this one turned out💛

Something about the pilot is how there seems to be more life in the human figures between shots. The man reading stands between shots, the girl joined by a parent and the workman tending to Thomas. Even at the mine with the fireman’ hand signal and Topham helping with the winch.

North Western Railway numbers 1 - 4.
Drew these up earlier in the year in preparation for the 80th anniversary. Hoping to do more once the celebration starts 💛

some minimum animations. a gift for @duheythefennec.bsky.social for use with their interactive stream npc.
i'm not an animator, so these are very basic, but they do their job well and im happy how they came out.

Initially an idle scribble, but opted to digitalise it for shading practice. Just a rough and ready doodle, but does its job.

“We Diesels are…..Revolutionary!”
made use of a previously scrapped sketch to create something Devious.
Opted to give Diesel some white trim and red rods just to make him stand out a bit. That and i like the look of it

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.

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

Decided to Doodled A real engine this time, one of my favourites at that.
Must admit, shape was a little bodged during the sketching phase. But i’m overall happy with this little piece💛

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 🩵

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.

Slightly bodged the Tender and Vans, but think i got the Stanier look well, overall.
