i dont have much as of right now since classes had started back up and i plan to focus as much as i can but have a little tentyr concept art. as a treat :0-)

i'll talk more about his lore (so far) under the cut

⚙️ Tenfold — the Tyrant Steampunk Diesel

(CW: mentions of experimentation, medical horror/abuse, body horror, gore. please read with caution.)

starting off with the big bad of the series!! this is Tenfold, or as he's known by his other aliases "D10" or "Diesel 10".

as i talked about it before in my previous post, tenfold was able to gain absolute control over the diesels and the dieselworks as their ruler because of his advancements in machinery and his studies on the diesel and steam engines' inner workings, making him a highly respected member as he functioned as sort of a doctor for the Dieselworks.

however, what is also worth noting is because of these studies, he had experimented on himself by implementing one of his own clawed hand invention (aka "Pinchy") literally inside of his body while also upgrading it, allowing "Pinchy" to become more ranged and come with a wide assortment of tools for different areas of work. as you can imagine, the process was grueling and painful and resulted in leaving a good portion of his organs filled with machinery and hardware needed to keep him and his tools alive.

a few days after his self operation, the dieselworks began to notice strange, almost concerning, behavior coming from tenfold. he had become more volatile, more violent as he remained in power. he started lengthy speechs about how his prose in mechanics can benefit the diesel engines to "a greater glory" and will put the steam engines into a state of overhaul, or in extreme cases, face the threat of being scrapped. on top of this, he not only studied diesel and steam engine mechanics more often on himself but he's also held a few locomotives hostage to experiment his upgrades on, resulting in fatal, sometimes chimerical results.

Can't you hear the whistle blowing?

Rise up early in the morn.

this is tidbit from tenfold tyrant based on a scene in episode 9 where donald and a close friend get into a bit of an altercation and (with a help of a hunter) finish the job off with a bang! who was it that donald fought with? that's for me to tell and for you guys to guess :0-)

🛠️ — RUSTY the Little Diesel

decided to try my hooves on full bodies and focused on drawing rusty !! now with their tenfold tyrant variant becoz designing outfits is not easy sometimes !

rusty, before the events of tentyr, had worked as a railway inspector and helped bring their workmen to fix up broken tracks that had caused delay and trouble. they are a friendly diesel, one to make jokes and quips with close friends but also one to make snide remarks and comebacks to those who dared poked fun at the little diesel.

a bit different from my usual art posts but !! i have something special coming up for the tenfold tyrant au and another au of mine (which i hope to talk about also :0-) )

i will split this up into different sections because there is a lot to explain here in terms of Diesel 10 aka "Tenfold" in this AU and how the other diesels perceive him.

to start off, there are a group of diesels who joined with Thomas and the Sodor Resistance and those include: Diesel himself, Mavis, BoCo, D261, and Daisy.

they escaped from Vicarstown after seeing the absolute degradation of the Dieselworks and how it was willing to punish and execute even those who banter about Tenfold's way of leadership.

naturally, they absolute despise Tenfold himself and how his ruler ship has not only caused the diesels to fear him but he is so willing to actively kill others and himself if it means to achieve his goal of dieselization.

next, there are other diesels in Vicarstown who praise Tenfold because of his prose in mechanics and technology as well as his absolute determination to rule over Sodor, even if it meant his end. they view him as this savior of the diesels and actively seek others to share his speeches as "the true expression of Dieselkind".

these diesels are often times volunteering to be mechanic students of Tenfold, soldiers/guards of his legion, or even offer themselves to be a part of the tyrant's mechanical research studies as a way of showing how much they are willing to give to their leader.

if you noticed already, these diesels are often blind, maybe ignoring in blissfulness, to the actual true nature of Diesel 10 himself. they are willing to push aside how he will punish those who speak about his backstabbing ways, his corrupt laws he enforces into place, and especially the true story of how he actually got a hold of the Dieselworks in Vicarstown.
