Hey Guys Do U Swear In Front Of/at Your Parents?

hey guys do u swear in front of/at your parents?

Jayde recoils at the noises, worried for where they are and what happened to the engines. They continue to call out trying to see if they could hear any of the twins.

(Gives Ben and Arry a hug.) How about I give you two a lift? Can cover more ground that way to look for 'em.

Apparently I'm an idiot because I just realised my birthday is tomorrow... maybe I'll shake my ass a little to get that super detailed art piece I promised out, or the next chapter of TTTE giants. Idk, I'll do something.

Change of plan, not next chapter, but the chapter after I'm going to bring in Donald & Douglas and Diesel. Next chapter I'm going to world build, bringing in the narrow gauge engines. Apart from that is introducing someone who Gordon holds very dear to him-

Rhapsody Gresley, the monster of the works. But beloved sister to all the Gresley related engines. She'll be mentioned next chapter, but won't be seen until the following one.

I dont normally do backgrounds, so this will be a trial and error process for a little while. Along with the shading. But anyway, here's an update on giant Douglas. Enjoy!
