I watch her to! And her second channel for when I'm drawing! She's awesome background noise and I get a little educated about dog and cat breeds while I'm at it. I also love the concept of the engines having YouTube channels, I imagine James would be like a daily blogger or he would livestream while doing his good's work so he can answer some questions. (His driver and fireman 100% thought about this so he wouldn't complain as much.)
So I've been watching a lot of Girl With The Dogs videos recently, and thought it'd be funny to do a parody redraw where one of the railway staff started an "engine grooming" channel, where they wash and paint the engines while also giving the viewers information on their build/class and specific needs.
I am now kind of attached to "Guy" and might adopt him as an actual OC that primarily mans the Washdown Station...

Doomed from the start.

October and December are gonna be some good months everyone!
My friends,
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤🤍💚🖤
I am doing what I can to provide a decent and safe life for my children and to provide for their basic needs in light of the poor living conditions we are living in due to the war of extermination, and I hope that you will continue to support me, whether by donating if possible, or by participating and urging friends to donate, as we are very close to half the goal, and there is less than 350€ left to reach it.
I hope to reach it today
I hope you do to, I don't have much money to spend so I'll spread the word and I wish all your needs met and your safety.
Hello dear friends! ❤🤍🖤💚
🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.
Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.
So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.

I don't have much money to spare, but I'll happily spread the word! Hope you stay safe and get the support you need.
In my house hold (I live in Australia) we call 'em bears.
RB to see how others think-- also, what territory you're from and version of English you speak! (this is to settle a thing I am pondering)
Idk if this is a thing depending on country, but at least where I'm from if you don't have the pathway connecting to your store or at the very least a marked and signed pedestrian walking zone, it looks very stupid and like an eye sore since their so common. If there isn't anything there it looks like whoever owns the property is an idiot or whoever built the place should be called in for questioning. As a wise person once told me- "Common sense isn't so common."

So here's the Sonic stuff I mentioned, I have been listening to a bunch of Sonic what ifs while doing my work and also looking over my very old ideas from my first Sonic faze 10+ years ago. One of my first ideas was what if the ARK was repurposed to genetically create rare or extinct species of mobian's back from the dead, so I reused that idea and turned it into something different.
These 4 are all mobian-alien hybrids, the first one made was Clotho, she was a second attempt to recreate a black arms hybrid. I had gotten the inspiration after seeing the Sonic and Shadow Generations trailer and now even more so after seeing the doom powers. Clotho can spin web and silk from her fingertips that she can lace with chaos energy, creating sharp cutting string or nets, whips, harpoons, and a lot more. She can also spin netting between her legs which can make her fly/glide along like a kite. Insectoid mobian's I headcanon as rare with arachnids being even more so, and since they already had black arms DNA lying around I like to think her creation was more of just a convenience. Unlike Shadow she wasn't made to be a weapon but they also didn't think her creation through since she ended up being a just as effective fighter as Shadow. With Clotho's creation going over less than ideal they decided to try with another species of alien, this time it being the wisp's. And as such Iris the Wisp was made. Iris is a type of deep-sea dumbo octopus, water Dwelling mobians were already rare but ones from the deep sea had brought a lot of attention to be studied towards. Iris had her DNA samples taken from all types of wisps, making her able to use all of their powers and even use them in combination with each other. Iris also wasn't intended to be a fighter but her upbringing alongside Clotho made it so they were more like partners in crime. Iris can fuse with other people to lend them her powers but she can only grant one at a time, and it makes her feel very sick afterwards so she doesn't like to do it often unless the situation is an emergency. Next was Ajax the Monkey and he was created with a presumed extinct species of alien called Seedrian's. And since Ajax was assigned male at creation he has small tree branches poking out from his hair, and after some minor testing, it was shown that the plant petals he takes his appearance after is called a gold chain tree. Ajax has Botanokinesis and a mover mode thanks to his alien half, and when mixing his monkey physiology he uses his powers to quickly traverse any small forest he might make. Ajax was more successful in that he isn't much of a fighter but will if he is forced to defend himself, but mostly he mainly uses his powers to grow gardens or farms to make food. Dark is a whole other can of worms. Technically he's not alien since he was from the planet's core and snake mobians are extremely rare. When Dark was first released from his pod and given consciousness he immediately attacked whoever was in his way, and instead of referring to the name the scientists had given he declared his own name in that being Dark Gaia. Much like Chip, Dark had turned into a smaller and weaker version of himself, very confused as to how this happened and what was even going on. The scientists unknown to them had taken a sample of Dark Gaia's consciousness, so instead of a snake mobian with Dark Gaia energy powers, they had inadvertently just given Dark Gaia a new body. Clotho, Iris, and Ajax were able to restrain him however and with the first batch of hybrids created with none too pleasing results they referred them all to G.U.N so they could be better kept an eye on. This is how they all end up meeting most of the Sonic heros, with varying results.
I'm gonna be developing more on Clotho for one of my class assessments, so expect like a full art table of her soon, the whole 9 yards!
forgot to add the comic page I also made, enjoy!
So it's been a hot while... but happy news is that I'll be on break soon, so I thought I'd post all the art work stuff I've done so far from assessments. And since the Lunar and Earth show has come back I thought it'd be an appropriate time to post these now, I designed this character after listening to this episode of the Sun and Moon show- here
Meet Mama Cosmo! Sun, Moon, Eclipse, Blood Moon, Lunar and Earth's mother. I started even writing a fanfic for her origins so I won't spoil to much on her.
Also enjoy a comic page, I made this after Nexus was sent to space so it ties into the lore of her a little.
Now remember when I drew these 2?
Well, meet their "Eclipse".
Originally named "Day", this girl is called Shade and she's designed after a dark star, or more commonly known as a black hole. I won't ramble to much on her since idk if I want to make another story based around her.
So this is 1 half of the work I've been doing, the rest is still being completed for other classes. I'm making a separate post right after this one so if you wanna see Sonic fandom stuff jump over to that one next.
I'll be back to drawing more stuff once the trimester is over, so for now I hope you enjoy these meals.

All the animation! Since Sonic Boom I've been noticing they haven't been keeping their faces as static as older media, seeing the hedgehog's ears droop and their irises change shape has really been showing off their dramatic facial expressions, I love it!
GOD who is animating the expressions on this game, it’s NUTS
Holy shit! That's talent and patience right there!
a long-standing model made of sculptural plasticine is still a rough draft of the blank to understand a clearer volume, then I will translate it into a full-fledged figure. This is just the beginning (this is only part of the figure, the rest will be later)
Corvids are my favorite type of bird in general, ravens can also do some of this stuff and even fly upside down. Their all beautiful birds with even more beautiful brains, smart birbs!
This is an AU I always come back to and think about a lot, like just thinking about each tugs crew and how their relationships would all be different.
Ten Cents is characterized as a teen with a short fuse, I'd imagine every day is his crew trying to distract him, calm him down, or scold him for snapping his mouth at either a Zed or someone who happens to be on his bad side. I'd imagine all the pilots would have straight access to the tug's hearing to since they're all in their heads, the tugs would literally have no choice but to listen to whatever is happening inside their wheelhouses.
Big Mac I'd like to think has the same crew that he had in Scotland, so while all the other tugs have American crews Big Mac and his crew sometimes talk in Gaelic just to mess with them.
O.J's crew I'd like to think ironically are the youngest set of crew around the star dock since his old one probably all retired before the series starts, and we just have this ongoing side story of O.J commanding his own crew from time to time and telling them old sea stories.
Top Hat is pretty accurate I'd think to the drawing, he doesn't like people in his wheelhouse because he likes to raise it up and down at his own leisure, and when he has people in it they can get motion-sick pretty quickly or get jostled around like a salad. I'd like to think there's some sort of betting pool between other tug crews to see how long it takes for any new crew member to take before they heave their lunch inside Top Hat's wheelhouse, or one of those little flip book calender things that says above it- "days without someone throwing up", and its never gone longer than a month.
I'd think in order for anyone to be Warrior's crew Captain Star makes sure they have all their things in order when it comes to health insurance, because even if someone was manning Warrior steering wheel he'd still bump into things regularly. This causes Warrior's crew to not be outside on his deck very often because they don't want to risk it to much of someone going overboard.
Hercules I'd head cannon as someone being very picky about his crew because of his line of work traveling between ports. He doesn't like sailors or more accurately men who have one-night stands in one port and don't come back if the woman ends up pregnant. So he has the biggest turnover rate out of any of the tugs. If he even hears a rumor that one of his crew members might have gone out with a lady friend he'll outright ditch them in the port and not come back. So the only consistent crew members he has are either faithfully married, older sailors who don't care about those things anymore, or they're secretly a part of the lgbtq side of things who aren't interested in women or love in that way.
Sunshine probably has the most chill crew out of all of them, he's not picky as long as they work well together. I'd imagine things would have ended differently in his debut episode though since his crew would have probably either seen Zorran coming or would have convinced him not to leave the stars without any word or when they couldn't see when Sunshine wanted to go back up river.
And that's just the stars, I have a few on the Zeds but there not to flushed out.
What if the tug boats had their own crews like in the railway series/thomas and friends?
I broke my arm by crushing it under my own weight between concrete after being sent flying off my skateboard. My arm is still crooked 10+ years later.
My biggest one is because I put my leg on an exhaust pipe
Man... at my uni you were expected to create warm up drawings with prompts and submit them as an assessment. But at least we're onto the more fun stuff now like creating the characters now.
being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
Can agree, as someone with autism as well. I just think Sun is a little bit more hyper than Moon or Eclipse to not have something else going on. But now the question is... what would be all their favourite stim toys? I like to think Moon has one of those water like toys that when you throw them on the ground they look like they go splat but then they quickly reform. Maybe Sun has a fidget cube or a chain that makes a clicking sound when you whip it. And I think Eclipse might have a simple rubix cube, or a fidget spinner that makes a sound when spun.
"Sun and Moon are autistic!" AND ECLIPSE!!! IF ONE'S AUTISTIC ALL OF THEM ARE DON'T FORGET THE THEM!!!!!!
Oh cool! I didn't know Kellen is autistic. But now it makes a lot of his characters have a little potential to them.
"Sun and Moon are autistic!" AND ECLIPSE!!! IF ONE'S AUTISTIC ALL OF THEM ARE DON'T FORGET THE THEM!!!!!!
Oh! Whops... my bad 😅 but if we're talking about cannon I think Sun and Moon have ADHD with Moon maybe also having autism, and Eclipse just having autism.

I like to think Lunar and Eclipse have ADHD.

The tests are conclusive... I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD! Now to see how I work with medication. 🤔hm.
