Midwest FurFest 2025! Sunday, 7th of December, Isambard Inkblot will be hosting the Rockyrailroad Animation Picture Show, a live screening of various homemade animated shorts, including some new ones! #mff2025 #midwestfurfest #mff #animation

The Boone Scenic Railway's steam locomotive caught my imagination recently and I decided to have a go at caricaturing it This JS-class engine was one of the last steam locomotive built in China, exported to the US for excursion use, and still running today #railroadart #steamlocomotive #trainart

Cascade Electric The Great Northern Railroad had one of the longest tunnels in North America, which was the domain of electric locomotives, in order to keep steam and smoke from polluting the tunnel Older drawing from 2022(?) I realized I have neglected to share on here!

Columbus Union Station background painting I made today for future animation use The longest part of my 2D animation productions is usually in the form of drawing backgrounds. Fortunately, trains tend to be stuck going to the same places all the time, so this should get good use

Cleaning a C&O Mountain She wants to look her best before pulling the Fast Flying Virginian, but, I don't think polish is going to help much #steamtrain #railroadart #steamlocomotive #ttte #chesepeakeandohio #gesturedrawing #sketchbook

Rebecca paused in a siding one evening to allow her friend Jenny to overtake with a fast train called The 'Pokey. #railroadart #n&w #nw611 #norfolkandwestern #steamlocomotive #trainart #digitalpainting

LEGO 2D Cutaway of the refit Enterprise I've been working on Still got to do a shuttle bay and the warp engines, but, I've been enjoying this a lot. Modular, but can be hung from a wall #startrek #ussenterprise #enterpriserefit #legomoc

Shelby the Interurban Car's visit to Sodor was a challenge without any overhead wire, but Toby was kind enough to help her see the branch line #ttte #awdryextravaganza5 #toby #ttteart #railwayart #interurban #trolley

A Firm Handshake with Inkblot

This "Decapod" has been waiting for paint and finish for months, and as of yesterday, she's in service on the layout Very proud of this one!

Fireless Fred A new co-worker arrived at Sparky's powerplant. He's wearing her number, though this unusual stored-energy locomotive isn't a replacement for the electric steeplecab. Fred is very positive and eager, but falls asleep often #railroadart #railfan #steamlocomotive #trainart #ttte

Isambard Inkblot got to meet one of the oldest working locomotives in the world at #ffestiniog - Palmerston, built 1864 I quite like the shape of the saddle tank on this one #ffestiniograilway

I am quite literally at a loss for words… More than half of the money needed to go, raised in less than an hour and a half… I’m not crying you’re crying

Awdry Extravaganza 5, day one, has gone very nicely! Found other conductors, Isambard Inkblot finds the arrangements satisfactory, and my models have had a go on the running line #awdryextravaganza #awdryextravaganza5 #awdry5 #talyllyn

"Woopsie, sorry Inkblot, I couldn't see ya back there." "I'VE BEEN SPILLED AGAIN, THIS WAS FOR WORK!" Inkblot knows deep down that it wasn't Zepp's fault, and he reins in his frustration, but it does wind him up #inkhorse #anthroart #horseanthro #cartoon #characterdesign #isambardinkblot

The colossal steel brute makes a clumsy firm handshake with the back of a long coal train as she prepares to help push it up to the summit of the Blue Ridge. I got in the art mood while listening to an O. Winston Link album #n&w #steamlocomotive #railroadart #owinstonlink #anthroart #steamtrain

Made a few minor tweaks to this MDC Shay I built two years ago. I will be attending the Awdry Extravaganza in Wales and I'm deciding what models to take with me... #modelrailroad #hotrains #scalemodel #shaylocomotive #steamengine #custommodel

Isambard Inkblot had a lot of fun appearing at the #DooDahParade in Columbus! #doodah614 #doodahcolumbus

Isambard Inkblot cards? Inkblot will be making an appearance at the Doo-Dah Parade in Columbus, handing these out to anyone who wants one! #isambardinkblot #cards #cardart #artistalley #tradingcards

Overhead wire, installed using paper drinking straws and fabric findings

He's in a right mood, this ink horse...

A preview of a short animation I'm working on. Inkblot and Zeppelin are on their way to join a local parade. Slowly. #pridemonth #pridemonth2025 #animation #prideanimation #steamengine #steamengineart #tractionengine

A pride month piece from 2023 I haven't shared on here, but thought turned out nicely Isambard Inkblot is taking his showman's engine to a local pride event. Under its own power! Normally, Zeppelin would just airlift it there, but, he wanted to get there himself. #pridemonthart #pride2025 #cartoon

"Getting IN the water? As in swimming? ME? No, no, I'd rather not. I'm not afraid, you see, but, I'm made of ink, and I do detest getting watered down, it- It's not dangerous, but, I'd rather not." Isambard Inkblot doesn't like swimming much. #horse #anthrohorse #cartoon #characterdesign

My favorite 1930s children's book. I've merged "Mike Mulligan's Steam Shovel" with something from many of my nightmares, V'Ger In the TMP screenplay, the Enterprise is a character #startrek #startrekthemotionpicture #startrektmp #vger #enterprise #ncc1701 #fanart #digitalart #virginialeeburton

I've been working on a few secret projects recently...

Isambard Inkblot and Zeppelin have a bit of fun on the garden railway this fine spring afternoon Inkblot is trying to keep the steam down, so Zepp doesn't get an unwanted shower #railwayart #steamlocomotive #lnwr #rockyrailroad #isambardinkblot #digitalart #locomotive #livesteam

Isambard Inkblot attended #FWA recently, but he had one question; Who called International Rescue? And where to land Thunderbird 2?! #fwa2025 #fursuit #cosplay #isambardinkblot #thunderbirds #virgiltracy #internationalrescue #thunderbirdsarego

A birthday gift - May 9th, my birthday, is the date "City of Truro" set a fabled speed record of 104 mph I've always wanted a model of this class engine as a result, once got to see it in person Finally found one, this model was hand crafted to a very high standard #greatwestern #gwr #cityoftruro

"Oh, dear, we've gotten terribly lost, you tin plated traitor - This is all your fault! Oh, the pain, the pain!" Dr. Inkblot-Smith and the B9 Robot #cosplay #lostinspace #lostinspace1965 #irwinallen #b9robot #rockyrailroad578 #robot #fursuit #diy #propmaking

Today, I turn 24 years old! Historical trivia, on my birthday, May 9th, two famous speed record attempts were made May 9th, 1893, NYC&HRR "Empire State Express", allegedly broke 100 miles an hour May 9th, 1904, GWR "City of Truro", allegedly broke 100 miles an hour I love both engines regardless

Forgot to post on May the Fourth, but I did have trusty, rusty R5-B2 tuned up while watching the latest episodes of #Andor and, amongst other things, I got her side doors to close properly and also made some adjustments inside the dome. #astromech #r2builders #r5droid #badmotivator

I am headed to #FWA! Feel free to pop by and visit with old Isambard Inkblot!

Fun fact, Zeppelin has competed in the Kentucky Derby on a number of occasions To make it more fair, he doesn't hover Animation made while at #ccad #walkcycle #2danimation #horsewalk #cartoonanimation #isambardinkblot #rockyrailroad

I brought my Timesaver switching puzzle to a local tabletop gaming shop, Dragon's Den, where it proved quite popular. After a few minor tweaks are made, I look forward to taking this one to more places! #modelrailroad #diorama #miniatures #switchingpuzzle #hoscale #modeltrains

Isambard Inkblot Goes To AnthrOhio! #anthrohio was a fantastic time - Isambard Inkblot's muse explored the convention and met a great deal of fun, kind, creative people. Including other equines! #anthrohio2025 #convention #horsefurry #furryconvention youtu.be/KyXxCz4zoLc?...

"Lord of the Isles" at afternoon tea, during #AnthrOhio Isambard Inkblot brought this restored Triang model of a Great Western Railway single wheeler. Inkblot likes stately British locomotives and this is about as form-over-function as they get! Not a very good puller, but very fast #anthrohio2025

Loved meeting everybody at #anthrohio! It def felt like home ❤ #timelapse #furry #furcon #fursuit

A very dashing assortment this weekend, what a gathering! That silly posh ink horse with the sign looks familiar

#AnthrOhio has been a lovely time! Isambard Inkblot got to meet a lot of fine folks, a very switched-on, swanky weekend! #anthrohio2025 #horsefursuit #rockyrailroad #isambardinkblot #anthrohio25

Hullo! I'm RockyRailroad Animation! Home to an awful lot of cartoon trains, weird horsey scientists, and a myriad of animated strangeness of all types. The most recent episode of my Isambard Inkblot series can be found here, stay tuned for more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeoJ... #2danimation

I ran a model railway on live steam! youtu.be/saLouqqppG4?...

Isambard Inkblot and Dr. Liz went on a trip to Jackson Crater, but landed a little too close. Zeppelin can't float, since there's no atmosphere, what to do... #characterdesign #anthroart #cartoon #horsefurry #spacecraft

Something is wrong with Inkblot and Zeppelin today...

Molly, of the Norfolk and Western Railway Stout freight locomotive of 1906, built to haul coal through the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. Considered a huge locomotive when new, within ten years, she was suddenly dwarfed by heavy articulated engines #n&w #railroadart #n&w475
