SplendidJimmy

I drew Thomas as a human.

henry doodles :) because he gives me joy and i would enjoy a calm picnic with him at a park as i, a feathered extant theropod, exchange a most fulfilling banter with him.

I found a way around an issue with my drawing tablet not registering small movements and now it's finally easier to do smaller details <3 unfortunately my SNIFFLES made it hard to draw!!!!! SOMEONE CATCH MY NOSE FOR ME ITS RUNNING HALFWAY TO THE MOON RIGHT NOW!!!! ugh stupid nose :/// henry let me borrow ur nose

Happy 4/4!!

(I totally didn't forget this.) Gordon may have been a rough patch in my past, but he's one of my favorite characters today. 🤭💙

HENRY'S FOREST (HAPPY 3/3 DAY!)

My new favourite day of the year, 3/3! Also known as... HENRY DAY! Since Henry is literally my favourite character in TTTE and peak blorbo, I had to draw something for this day. And that something was my favourite episode of the whole show - Henry's Forest. Yes, I'm aware of the controversaries surrounding it, I just don't care. This episode was fundamental to developing Henry's character beyond 'Gordon But Green', and never fails to get me emotional every time I watch it.

While I will readily admit that the reason why I love him so much is partially due to autism (TTTE is the current 'special interest' so of course my fav from it is the NO.1 FAVOURITE EVER right now), I still adore him. From the arrogant grump overcoming his physical struggles in the earliest seasons, to a soft-spoken and anxious gentle giant in the CGI series, I love every incarnation of him. Also, he's painted in green which is my favourite colour. You'd almost think he was designed specifically for me and me alone to love him.

WHY THANK YOU FOR ASKING

So my biggest inspiration for Henry’s design, specifically his old shape, was both the lore of his model and Gordon’s design

Henry is a failed Gresley model while Gordon is a successful one, so I made it a point to make their designs similar as a reference to them always getting compared to each other

But while Gordon looks grand and confident in his shape, Henry is frail and unkept, with his clothes oversized and his hair a mess

But when Henry gets his new shape, not only does he look like a different engine, he’s now his own engine
