Still work in progress for this December, doing my Christmas present for Ghost, so here's how it looks like when I only add colour to him and the presents.

My latest video is premiering in just over an hour. It's a sort of sequel to last weeks video, and in it I look at the various engines that gave Oliver trouble during his escape to Sodor! youtu.be/Y9hSAiXPOtI

The oldest working Steam Locomotives in the world. Tal-y-llyn & Dolgoch double head a train at last year's 75 Appeal Mini Gala. Learn about the 75 Appeal 👉 www.talyllyn.co.uk/75appeal #RailwayAdventure

There’s nothing quite like Carol singing to get you into the Festive Spirit…especially when it includes a Steam Train Ride! For an evening that promises to be full of cheer - book 'The Carol Train' on the 20th of December! More Info & Tickets 👉 www.talyllyn.co.uk/events/the-c... 📸 Luke Ryan

I'm thrilled to say I've been called on to create poster art for a real steam railway! 😀 The Avon Valley Railway now has this on display at their main station. More details below - please read on! (Any other heritage railways interested? Get in touch... 😉) 1/7 #HeritageRailway #RailwayPoster

“A Matter of Gravity” premieres on my Youtube channel tomorrow at 3:30 PM EST - hope to see you there! youtu.be/a2FBlWLxvAQ?...

Amazingly, Reginald Payne isn't the only one who painted the roof lighter. Rather than painting it black like the rest of his work, it's actually a clever way to show how a reflected material like steel, reflects and absorbs the light. And Peter Edwards also did the same. #TheRailwaySeries #TTTE

After taking some consideration and removing my comment earlier about that certificate of Alexander Reginald Payne's (TTTE artist) passing that was shared on Twitter, it actually did help solve what was originally said by William Heinemann. Heck even I'd tried to find a cause only to hit a dead end.

New video premiering very soon! This week I draw and discuss the mystery diesel engines that Stepney encounters on his way to Sodor! youtu.be/s-uU3uAMgT8

Decided to redo this animation by adding the wave principle to the steam coming out of Atlas' funnel. Characters are from RailsOfTheWorld's series The Tales of The Big Four.

Decided to go back and redo this scan by @sleeperagent1.bsky.social by adjusting the faded colours - from reds to neutrals. And using neutrals it turned out really good. The first one to be done in Affinity Photo :D #RWS #TheRailwaySeries #TTTE #RWS80 #ThomasTheTankEngine

What I was able to do here, is lowering the brightness of every single colour, instead of using brightness and contrast, curves or levels. #RWS #ThomasTheTankEngine #TTTE

Something I did for @kinekovideo.bsky.social. Last year, this fan group released a video showcasing a rush workprint of Toei's 'YuGiOh!' movie, released for a Spring '99 Toei Anime Fair. What I tried to do here, is combine two rushes with an audio. Audio from TheKingOfGames YouTube channel.

While on 27th November will be 53 years with John T. Kenney's and, 78 years on 20th December, with Alexander Reginald Payne's passing, I decided to share Mr. Kenney's piece again and the new one for Mr. Payne as a thank you for his contribution. May their lives never fade with time. #RWS #TTTE

Using LibreOffice writer, I'm able to do what'll require a couple of posts here, to just two screenshots. This one goes into my initial analysis of a wheel arrangement of this background engine as seen in the third illustration of Thomas' Train. #TTTE #RWS #TheRailwaySeries

Hi everyone, this weeks Youtube video will be another Tuesday release since I've been working on four projects and once lately. Tomorrow's video will be all about the ghost engines of Sodor!

I'll add this fact, did you know that this animation was actually done backwards? This was mentioned by Alan Becker in his video about 12 principles of animation by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. One of them being straight ahead and pose to pose.

While it's only for 6 frames in 24 fps with no inbetweens, this is the first ever example of my way to animate engines moving. Using the characters from RailsOfTheWorld series Tales of the Big Four.

While Middleton referred to Wilbert's sketches with the engines, Payne actually nailed the expressions. One of the facial features that's the most noticeable are Thomas' eyebrows. Although the annoying part of Wilbert's sketches has to be a low quality photo used on TTTE wiki.

The new video is premiering in about 20 minutes! In this episode I draw Super ED, as well as a couple of other characters from the TV Series that didn't get much (if any) time to shine! youtu.be/Wn5oVR4H0cI

Yesterday, I'd been in a Liners of the Golden Era mood, so I did two pieces for a 115th birthday of a launch of a White Star Line's Olympic - Old Reliable. #rmsolympic #whitestarline

cheeky grin #thomas #ttte #art

As Payne did add a signal gantry close to the station, he didn't include the platform starters for an early 1925 Vicarstown terminus. #TheRailwaySeries #RWS80

A commission for @vacenttest.bsky.social; an end card illustration for their channel! Appropriate vibes for Halloween month as their sona and OC travel down a foggy dirt road in a dark forest... #SpookyArt #ChannelArt

Happy 80th anniversary to the Railway Series! Here's my entry for our #RWS80thCollab to celebrate; I was assigned RWS book #11, Percy the Small Engine. I thought it would be fun to depict Duck in the BR black livery he canonically arrived in 😁 #TheRailwaySeries #RWS80

A commission for @railwaysparrow.bsky.social of Peter Sam crossing the road at Abergynolwyn on the @talyllyn.co.uk Talyllyn railway! #TheRailwaySeries #RWSfanart

While we don't have a picture of Reginald Payne even with his work outside of his contribution to book 2 - Thomas the Tank Engine, here's my interpretation of him. #RWS #TTTE #reginaldpayne

A few of the examples from Sleeper Agent's scans I had to redo the brightness and colours. As well as trying make them somewhat match The Unlucky Tug's scans.

A small practise animation of me trying to pick up what's the best signal drop that I can use for the project.

A small practise and colour drawing of this signal, commonly used as home and starter.

A month from now will be a 5 year anniversary since my planned animation project with adapting the books (originally reanimating AEG) was introduced after the very announcement of All Engines Go and a poster reveal. #TTTE

Considering that the artwork we see from Payne that doesn't show any signals added, I can confirm these were done first. He asked Gregorson to send letter to Wilbert to add signals, which Wilbert would then sent back. Payne would then go back and add the signals as shown on Wilbert's sketches. (1/?)

#TAFcollab2025 Neil of Fortune Rusty gets frustrated at the thought of the Bluebell valley line closing when Stepney returns to the mainland. While searching for another engine to run the line, he finds someone many thought was lost to time... Happy 41st Thomas and Friends! (story in alts)

Anyway, got to do a correction to this scan by @sleeperagent1.bsky.social.

It's been a while since posting a fully finished art, but here it is. The first illustration I did for Thomas goes Fishing. #TheRailwaySeries #ThomasTheTankEngine #RWS #Thomasgoesfishing #TTTE

My first ever redraw of this early piece of Shawcroft's Titanic model used in Roy Ward Baker's A Night to Remember and tried to imitate the style of Alexander Reginald Payne. (Left: Original) and (Right: redraw)

A commission of a vintage-style railway poster featuring Duck on the Dartmouth steam railway! He enjoyed his summer visit pulling GWR railtours 😁 The client ordered a physical print for a private gift, but I'm able to share the artwork with you all 🙂 #TheRailwaySeries #RWSfanart #VintagePoster

By popular demand, my Sodor railway art is now available in postcard form! Each design has a different rear style, inspired by various eras of vintage railway postcards. The info should all be here, but if you have any questions feel free to ask 🙂 #TheRailwaySeries #VintagePostcards

I was commissioned to create this artwork of Edward pulling a 'failed' 98462, for @dburch01.bsky.social's story "Edward the Centenary Engine" celebrating both the Railway Series' 80th anniversary and Railway 200! You can read it below. 🙂 #TheRailwaySeries #Rail200

New video premiering very soon! This week I cover the narrow gauge engine characters introduced in the HiT Model era, and try and figure out how they'd worked if they were in the Railway Series youtu.be/81Ib7e61h-E

If you see this, post a dragon.

Another Thomas artwork I did - this time on Daisy the Diesel Rail-Car. I got motivated by (you guessed it) the recent Sodor's Finest episode on her. The inspiration is from the CGI render w/ a little mix of her real basis and RWS w/ my own details added to the mix. #Thomas&Friends #Artwork

While it's a maquette or rough draft of this piece and some bits may be missing or drawn incorrectly (like the size of the signal arm), I decided to show Gordon's first ever struggle on a steep grade that'd be named after him. My attempt at combining both Reginald Payne and Peter Edwards styles.

New video premiering in half an hour! I thought it would be a fun idea to translate the bios of Thomas characters into a bunch of different languages, then back into english, and draw the results! youtu.be/qD1rEXtgU6U

Funny..I don't remember Percy and the Oil Painting ending like this

Decided to redo this #TheRailwaySeries styled eyecatch.

Decided to do some colour corrections to these two illustrations by Alexander Reginald Payne from ClickClackTrack's archive. The goal is how these would look like if they were scanned with vibrant colours.

Premiering today is my first episode and page of animated sketchbook. youtu.be/DwgmUgoKWg4
