Emilyyyyy we all love her-

Tried my hand at an older style again and I’m not the happiest with it but it’s a post! Update on life, I have found myself with a blue collar job and so haven’t been able to work on art a lot 😓 After I’m done with a couple things I should be working on my inbox stuff, so for the folks that requested stuff, don’t worry that’s next!!

Welcome back to my bimonthly apology post where I say I’m so VERY sorry for not posting, life has been so busy again 😭😭

I’ve been genuinely burnt out (not from tumblr just in general lol) so art hasn’t been very high on my to-do list, but I’m working on a couple things to get me back in the spirit!!

Y’all didn’t think I’d miss 2/2 day did you?

I can’t believe how long this took to get around to- January was insane

On a brighter note, here’s part two of my art series where I draw as many TTTE characters as possible with my headcanons and style by number, following up my Thomas post with the all-beloved number 2! In my headcanon for Edward, (be prepared this is about to be a stupidly long post), Edward was the first engineer employed on Sodor, though legally he was the second since he started his work as a volunteer. He was already in his thirties when he started, and he honestly was just looking for something he could do after his time in the military. Over the years, Edward became the one man Sir Topham Hatt, and his son afterwards, could rely on no matter what. But that wasn’t without a few missteps here and there. The war soon came about on the mainland, and with hours hard to find for an engineer with an engine not quite large enough to do the big jobs, not small enough to make it worth it to use for shunting, Edward had to fall back onto his roots and join the war efforts. His engine spent several long months in the shed until Edward was discharged for taking shrapnel to the leg. A crippled soldier is not a useful soldier after all. After he returned to island of Sodor, he made very sure that very line didn’t come back to haunt him, and put all of his effort into his work. Even with comments from his younger coworkers about his age and ability to work, he rose to become the one steady star in the strange little line of work. But his problems didn’t end there. How could they end there? The war left him changed, though it didn’t start to show until later on, when the war was over and the railway finally had a name for itself. He was already a typically quiet man, only ever raising his voice just to be stern when someone did something out of line. However, over the years the quiet became paranoid, and the stern became snappy. He wasn’t all there anymore, and it showed. Maybe it was from the poorly treated old injury coming back to stab him (literally) after one fateful passenger run out in a horrible storm, or his time in service finally catching up with him, but whatever it was made him into a very different man. Eventually, he was convinced to go to counseling, and with some very needed outside help, and a bit of time, Edward was able to be that steady star he was all those years ago.

He still suffers from moments of disassociation, and though he has proven himself over and over throughout the years, he is still looked down upon by some of the more popular engineers. That doesn’t stop him from being the backbone to whoever needs it, and everyone on the island can always rely on him in times of confusion or need. He’s not perfect, no one is ever perfect, but just knowing and acknowledging that is what makes him so great. Edward is happy with his number, and happy with his supposed rank. In the grand scheme of things, it’s what he’s done to improve that makes him the North Star of the North Western.

Aaaa can you guys tell that he’s my fav? There’s still so much more I wanna say about him but this is already basically a whole ahh fanfiction so I’ll cut it short and continue on.

Thank you so much!! I wish the same to you my friend 🥳

Here’s an extremely late little Christmas post in a mix of like three of my art styles 🥲

Christmas this year was genuinely so bright and happy, I was originally gonna draw the Polar Express engine but I wanted to honor this blog’s theme and so Edward took priority 🫡

Try not to make a Warriors AU for every fandom I’m in challenge (IMPOSSIBLE 🤯)

Filler post while I cry myself to sleep trying to draw Henry

Thomas the arrogant little bugger we all know and love 🥹

Welcome to my new art series where I draw as many TTTE characters as I possibly can with my headcanons and style by number, starting with the number 1 himself!

In my hc, Thomas came to work at Sodor about a year after Edward arrived, due to necessity from a rapidly growing railway needing more employees and fast. He started work pretty young to avoid the war on the mainland, and ended up becoming the ‘Little Mascot’ to the north western, with his bright personality and outgoing demeanor. When the other engineers with their big engines showed up to take over the excess work, Thomas went from the Golden Boy to the shunter kid, and thus grew a bit of an attitude thanks to the rather demeaning comments from his new coworkers. That was mellowed out later on when the incident with James happened and he gained his own branch line, but it did still leave him short tempered and competitive. He did regain his Golden Boy title though, way later on, and his engine and himself became the literal mascots to the little island railway.

Thomas’ knack for making friends is unmatched. Even with that, though, he does face insecurities about himself and makes frequent mistakes. But that’s part of being a person, and in the end it’s what you do to fix those mistakes thats what matters. Thomas has for sure earned his number and rank on this railway.

I hope you guys like this little series I’ll be working on!

I was thinking the little western for this one hehehe 🤭

I have absolutely no excuse as to why this took so long 😭

EEEEE TYSM!! I wish the same to you my favorite anon 🥳🥳

I wanted to make this post a hot minute ago and this message was the perfect opportunity to!! I just wanted to say I genuinely appreciate all the love and support I have gotten these past couple of months <3

I was not expecting any of it so it kinda caught me off guard! like lowkey kinda went like this-

To be completely honest this is my first time running an account with this much attention, so it’s kinda scary, which is one of the many reasons I’m so behind on requests and just general art 🥲

I promise I’m working on stuff I swear 😭😭

But anyways, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you all so much 🥹

Every repost, every message in my inbox, every comment, I genuinely screenshot everything in case something happens to my account because I love you all so much and I want to keep those cherished little comments forever and ever. Out of the many fandoms I’ve drawn for this has to be my Number One <333 I hope my art brings as much joy to you guys as your comments bring to me, and I hope that I can keep making art for you guys in a timely fashion, (Really Reliable and Right on Time I should say xD)

I love this community so much <3

Designated Halloween post before I forget about it 😛

I love having secret special art styles for times like this when I need to draw real people

Neville 🥹

I might color him in or do a proper drawing of him later- Sorry about the gap in between posts so much crazy stuff has been going on 😔

I do promise I am working on the requests I’ve got like five unfinished things in my procreate gallery that I should have done as soon as I can- Meanwhile have some expression studies I did for Edward 😛

Plus the kris deltarune lock in face because something about it is so funny on Edward

Pretty flowers for a pretty engine *generator

So pretty that they’re in his dreams as well

Lazy doodle page on these Christmas colored dummies. NOT A SHIP I just think they’re neat.

This image could be Bill, Ben, and Charlie (or Thomas)

This image is D10 and Sandy (as a baby) or Carly and Tess (as a baby)

(u can choose which one you like best)

This one has gotta be my favorite- I like to think of Charlie as that weird older cousin that dresses like Adam Sandler but gets forced to wear professional clothes during work but pushes the boundary just enough to not get in trouble

Stupid Blonde Baby™️

I designed Carly off of her full-crane form cause I am NOT familiar with AEG and I think it’s cute that she looks like Tess but older

I think this would be absolutely hilarious with Sir Handel

Oh yes absolutely

Edward and the two little ginger idiots 😭

Father of way too many someone MAKE this old man retire

Lowkey might do more of these I was laughing the whole time I drew this-
