Time for the North Western Railway's flagship Express engine from Dovetail Games' upcoming Wonders of Sodor. youtu.be/xvTa0eA6xMQ?...

I decided to do that one frame from episode 157 of Dragon Ball Z of Vegeta encouraging Semi Perfect Cell to attack.

I'll be honest, I really need to stop posting my analytical posts with Thomas the Tank Engine's artist Alexander Reginald Payne and use them as my own art studies.

Today's video is premiering soon! This week I'm returning to the Matchbox Thomas range, and model some more characters for the hypothetical toyline: youtu.be/oW9iubive5g

My small tribute to Mr Alexander Reginald Payne's first ever illustration for Thomas' introduction. #TheRailwaySeries

Even though Mr Payne was suffering health issues during the hit of London Flu in 1946, we can see it clearly with Gordon - a lack and uneven spacing of his lagging boiler bands and missing solid bit of the frame plates. Fun fact, Gordon never had frame plates in Wilbert's sketches.

Premiering very soon! This week I'm drawing the three characters introduced in Hero of the Rails in a Railway Series style! youtu.be/iYAUeXRpGi4

The Skarloey gang (Wilbert's only books), Payne's James and SS Roxstar are here!

A completed picture from my latest practise drawing featuring Talyllyn, Thomas and Edward.

Page 5 of doing practise sketches. Topic here are the sleepers used as a support for steel rails. Also, a mix of narrow-gauge and standard gauge. The top locomotive is Talyllyn, the bottom ones are Thomas and Edward.

As I've been going into researching a railway material I need (absolute block, locomotives from the time period etc.), what I like seeing here in action are the team's knowledge on how to place home and starter signals on a gantry (example here showing platform starters) at entrance to a station.

What's with me and speed restriction or limit signs? 😅

The locomotive and "Railway with a Heart of Gold" - No. 1 Talyllyn of Talyllyn Railway. Make sure to check out the official Talyllyn Railway here on Bluesky.

After sharing my early colour reference and character design of Gordon here's the A1 Pacific with a mix of styles - John Theodore Eardley Kenney and Alexander Reginald Payne.

After the recent news from Dovetail games with their upcoming Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor, I decided to start up Train Sim World 6 and record every single adventure with Thomas and Diesel on the West Somerset Railway. 🙂

Premiering in about 90 minutes! This week I'm looking at the engines from the Arlesdale Railway that don't appear in the books! youtu.be/wRFvbpEF0Wk

Page 4 of my practise sketches. A mix of railway related and an animated wave principle.

Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor - Coming Soon! A brand new game from Dovetail Games, the developers of Train Sim World, has just been announced - and we've helped out! The Reverend Wilbert Awdry had a 3D Relief Map of the Island of Sodor made in 1950...

Premiering in 5 minutes!^^ youtu.be/Hhq-aZk3yPo?... #Thomasandfriends

If you see this, post a character that starts with B.

Interesting to see how photo matching helped me greatly with my unfinished SketchUp recreation of the S/S Duchess from TUGS. Here's both of them. Image source for the behind the scenes prop from tugs.fandom.com/wiki/Duchess...

Three screenshots I took from Train Simulator Classic with SR Merchant Navy No. 21C1 Channel Packet as a light engine. From Bossman Games.

Some practise drawings of drawing locomotives from various angles (similar to using reference pictures of Hornby models), doing shading for a buffer and my attempt to understand cant or camber.

By the power of a pencil, I command this channel to be open. youtu.be/pRYugh7wxyY

Drop something orange 🟠

Coming back to these scans by Sleeper Agent with Reginald Payne's pictures. What I love seeing here is how the steam can be seen from Thomas' funnel. Some may say that the first one is not as detailed as the one on the right, but everyone who's into railways and work on one can tell them apart.

The upcoming Thomas reboot might be using AI, but this video certainly isn't! In it I discuss the two new steam engines revealed in Christopher Awdry's recent lore drop. Premiering very soon! youtu.be/HSi6tH9Mgog

I think that while Class H - through freight is a good choice for Thomas' train here, Class J 100% fits. The main difference is the meaning of both codes. Class H stops at the destination or terminus, while Class J - through mineral stops at intermediate stations - in this case, Wellsworth.

While taking a break, I've been thinking; Why not try and animate a narrow-gauge railway from British railway history of my choosing - Talyllyn Railway, Corris Railway and such. I see the Talyllyn Railway being the potential candidate of my list, but we shall see. (1/?)

As I'm taking a break to recharge after feeling down lately, here's a small test of me adding two variants of Thomas' headlamps for this illustration Thomas and the Trucks by A.R.Payne. In this case - which one for his freight train suits him best. Class H on the left and Class J on the right.

Sorry for my absence lately (if you noticed). I had a kind of mental burnout with all the hostility on social media. Dunno why it hit me now as the toxic atmosphere isn't exactly a new development. Maybe I got worn down. Anyhow, I'll be active and posting new art again soon.🙂

Some of you, who've been following my TTTEfanSerbia channel since the beginning with posting content, the channel is gone. It's me who decided to delete the entire thing. At first I thought I was going to post some Thomas content and even try to adapt the books, but due to personal life (1/?)

Happy Birthday Ian McCue! 🚂🎂🚃 It was lovely meeting you at @talyllyn.co.uk’s #AwdryExtravaganza. Thank you again ever so much for all you’ve done for #ThomasAndFriends and for your autographs. I hope you have a blessed birthday Ian. 🥳

Happy birthday to Ian McCue! 🎂🎁🎈🎊🎉

Happy Birthday to Thomas and Friends Producer Ian McCue!! Thanks for all you gave to us especially with restoration to Down the Mine pilot last year!! 🥳🎂🎉🎈🚂

The aforementioned documentary is now available for free to watch anywhere on TyphoonOnDemand. typhoonondemand.com/title/e7087a... #thomasandfriends #anunlikelyfandom #railway200 #thegreatestgathering #documentary #thomasthetankengine #therailwayseries #revwawdry #smurfydan

Decided to fix the signal box to match with perspective. I'll add that I do often use rough line art which is my favourite for a reason. #TheRailwaySeries #TTTE #RWS

This is definitely my favourite end result when animating Gordon approaching the viewer. By adding the Express coaches behind him is a perfect way to draw him and his train in perspective. #ttte #therailwayseries #gordonthebigengine #rws #thomasandfriends

A redo of my animation study with Gordon - now pulling the Express. A small amount of frames but got a better idea to animate the trailing smoke as well as 'puff' that comes from the cylinders. #ttte #therailwayseries #gordonthebigengine #rws #thomasandfriends

A Sunday redraw - a tender engine trying to push Henry in The Sad Story of Henry This illustration however, is a harder one to redraw, and correct what Dalby illustrated. What I also did is removing the tail lamp as I'm still not sure about its arrangement on both tender engines and tank engines.

Then and now of my poster art for my animated project. #TheRailwaySeries #ThomasTheTankEngine

New profile banner art. :)

Happy New Year to everyone! At the time of posting this, it's a New Year's Eve on my end. But for anyone who's in the future, Happy New Year! See you all in 2026!

My first ever attempt of trying to adapt to Peter Edwards style. #TheRailwaySeries #TTTE #ThomasTheTankEngine #RWS

I went ahead and redid this piece by having Spirit Train in a simple background. It may be cheating on my part for reillustrating my old work, but I can't just simply allow my characters to be in a plain of nothing.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas to everyone that celebrates it today. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. Have a wonderful day. My two art pieces that I did for the Holidays. The left one is from 2022 and this one with Ghost finished for this year. 🎁☃️🎅🎄❄️

Edward waits for his Guard. Using @smurfydan.bsky.social's scan of Wilbert's sketch for reference (from TTTE fandom wiki), I decided to make the station here more detailed by adding more to the scene to match the time period the story is set. #TheRailwaySeries #ThomasTheTankEngine

While it's a redraw of Dalby's illustration for Old Iron (first image), I made an attempt at imitating Mr Payne's and Kenney's style with James' expression (second image).
