Guess What Everybody?The World's Most Splendid Red Engine Has Just Become The World's Most Splendid Red

Guess what everybody? The world's most splendid red engine has just become the world's most splendid red plushie!!

I started making this James plush as a birthday present for my brother! And although I'm over two months late for the occasion (oops), I'm still glad to finally have this lad done ^v^

In terms of plushie features, the most notable thing is that the tender can be detached from the engine. I've also decided to put a coupling on the back of the tender which I've made to be comparable with any other train plushies I may end up making in the future.

In terms of plush construction, I should note that the baseboard is made of a block of upholstery foam I carved out, that way it'll keep its shape but still be squishy and huggable! Also, I used a thin sheet of acrylic foam for the cabin roof (but I'll probably use something else for the roof in the future since that thin sheet ended up warping at the edges and has a bit of a weird feel from the outside)

Some more photos from the recent family trip, this time mostly from a place called Puzzling World

It's basically a small museum filled with a collection of various illusions and mind-bending paraphernalia. Pretty neat stuff!

(I've stowed a few bonus pics under the cut as well)

Here's a bit of non-toy photography of Puzzling World, featuring the tilted room, faces that follow you (plus a sneaky behind-the-scenes), and a few more shots of the sculpture room

A photo of Bangle that just didn't feel like it fit in the main part of the post

And finally, Bangle in a different location entirely!

There's a giant Smaug sculpture in our local airport, and I just couldn't resist getting a photo of Bangle with him ^v^

Bet y'all weren't expecting this >:]

I got a few nice pics on the family trip I went on the other day

It never really snows where we live, so getting the opportunity to set up a few shots of my guys in the frost was very cool ^v^ (both literally and figuratively, hehe)

Bonus pics:

Funky closet space I decided to put Rumble in, sadly the lighting in that first pic didn't translate entirely accurately but oh well

Small progress update on the Crasher plush:

Aside from the head compartment lining and the edges of the chest vents, the machine sewing is now done! It's all hand-sewing from here (I've even sewn in the hands and feet since I've taken these photos)

Hello, welcome to my blog! This is a space I've dedicated to sharing my drawings, photography, plushies, and any other fun creative things I'd like people to see!

Before you begin perusing, here are a few things you ought to know:

Art Only Since I've dedicated this space to my art, I probably won't be reblogging much here unless I feel like I can creatively add on to the other post. Additionally, since the world tends to be a bit of a rubbish place, I'm going to try to keep things positive around here for the sake of anyone who just wants a happy little distraction.

Fandom I do tend to post a lot of fanart relating to established fandoms and existing franchises, but I'm not strictly sticking to any in particular. I'm pretty much just doing whatever I want and dragging you along for the ride.

Let's Keep it PG I've decided to keep suggestive and NSFW subject matter out of this space, and I kindly ask that you do the same. I do however occasionally post art depicting gore, body horror and other potentially unsettling themes, but I'll be tagging those posts with the appropriate content warnings.

I'm Open to Suggestions! If you've got an idea for a little sketch or a question you'd like me to answer, feel free to send it my way! I won't promise that I'll draw every single idea sent in (I may just not have enough motivation for certain ideas) so please don't take it personally if I don't end up drawing something you wanted to see. I'll try to get to as many as I can though! (I should also mention that bigger suggestions, like for a plush project, are very much out of the question. I've put enough projects on my plate already!)

[Edit due to recent incident: Anyone caught stealing artwork or designs without giving the proper credit will be blocked.]

Frequently Asked Question For anyone wondering, no I do not do commissions. I'm sorry to disappoint, but I just don't feel like I'm in a place where commissioning is a viable option for me right now.

If you're still here, thank you for taking the time to read through this! And as always,

You're all at the mercy of my hyperfixations :]
