So, I got a new sketchbook that can withstand alcohol markers cuz my old one was about to break apart.

So have this lesser quality Vegeta

If AJ came to Sodor but as memes!

“It’s my size isn’t it…”

Local American engine just realizes that British railways operate very differently.

“Like I know you’re technically my sis, but why are you so obsessed with him?! It’s freaking me out.”

American Diesels are NOTHING compared to British Diesels

…She’s got a strong sense of justice.

HE.

OH MY GOD SHE LOOKS AMAZING! 💙💙💙

SO STUNNING!

Hello hello hello! How are you? I’ve looked through you posts and I gotta say, you are very talented when it comes to drawing engines I AM JEALOUS.

I’m wondering tho, what would Alice look like as a human? You’re TTTE humanizations are very faithful to their source material so I’m wondering how would you handle her

Oh I have been WAITING for someone to ask this!

First off, thank you! It's definitely not easy to draw locomotives lol, but I'm still learning and happy with how well they've come out since I started! But anyway, onto Alice... she's come a long way, but this is the human design I've settled on for her:

Here's Alice "Duchess" Stanier! (She got the nickname because of how often she drove Duchesses on the LMS.) Now, Alice is a big engine. Naturally then, she MUST be a big lady! She's top heavy with large forearms, wide shoulders, and long legs. And I don't need to say that she's incredibly strong for a woman (working on a railway for 20 years does that to you). She's also rather tall and heavy for one. (Don't ask her weight. Most people can't handle the truth.) Here's a height comparison between her, Gordon, and Henry. (Gordon is about 6'6.) She doesn't wear jewelry at work, but I couldn't help including a big pair of earrings to represent her smoke deflectors.

She wears her hair in a pixie cut because she used to be a Karen to make her job easier, and because it represents Alice regaining confidence in herself after an ex-fianceé left her for a more "traditionally beautiful" woman. She may like red lipstick and makin' men blush, but she's a tomboy through and through! (Just ask her little cousin, Henry...) In fact, it was that very breakup that pushed Alice as a young lady to start completely new and do something drastic- work on a railway as a cleaner. Except, oops, she fell in love again- with railway life! She got so good at her job, that by the time she was 45 she had reached top link at the LMS!

At first, the tomboy thing didn't exist for Alice. I was modeling her more after Peggy Carter in a femme fatale thing. She had an hourglass shape and a still-short but girlier bob.

But I was just never happy with it! (Which is why I never finished this masterpiece 🤣) But after I learned about those 60s pixies that some women wore, I came up with this sketch and LOVED it. (They are besties, your honor)

This was the old attempt (plus my super helpful notes) at drawing this design, but it felt too boring and flat. I tried jazzing up the shape language a bit, but still wasn't happy with the proportions. But I took that sketch and turned it into the above, and I love the way it looks now! But anyway, that's what I have to say about human Alice. I've been wanting to infodump this for a while lol, thanks @thatcasualgamergirl for the ask!!

So uh, news flash, I just remembered Warrior Cats exists and I felt like to do some artwork of my two main OCs that I had 4 years ago.

**Name:** Shadestripe

**Gender:** She-Cat

**Age:** 38 moons

**Affiliation:** ShadowClan

**Rank:** Warrior

**Biography:** Shadestripe, first known as Kage, used to live as a kittypet with her sister, Danuja, and were both owned by Japanese Twolegs. After hearing rumors about the clan cats that live in the forest and wanting to join them, they both escape into the forest. They then run into ShadowClan warriors and join them as apprentices, with Kage now becoming Shadepaw and Danuja becoming Stripepaw. As time when on, it became clear to Shadepaw that her sister doesn’t believe in StarClan nor will follow clan code, and mocks Shadepaw and ShadowClan for believing in them. A battle ensues between the sisters, with the outcome of Shadepaw being the victor and Stripepaw being exiled out of ShadowClan. She was devastated, but Stripepaw reassured her that she will be fine living as a loner. Shadepaw then earns her Warrior name of Shadestripe, after her sister.

**Personality:** Shadestripe is calm, stoic, anti-social, and very reserved. She doesn’t speak to anyone unless it’s close friends, her sister, or clan members of importance and prefers quietness and alone time to herself. Her cat-speak isn’t very good as it’s her second language with the first being Japanese (or the cat-speak equivalent). But underneath the exterior is a caring heart that wishes everyone to live their best life, and will even defend her sister despite differing views.

**Name:** Blister

**Gender:** She-Cat

**Age:** 36 moons

**Affiliation:** Loner (technically BloodClan/BurnClan)

**Biography:** Blister, first known as Danuja used to live as a kittypet with her sister, Kage, and were both owned by Japanese Twolegs. After hearing rumors about the clan cats that live in the forest and wanting to join them, they both escape into the forest. They then run into ShadowClan warriors and join them as apprentices, with Danuja becoming Stripepaw and Kage becoming Shadepaw. As time when on, Stripepaw believed that StarClan was just some idiotic myth and the Clan code was just a burden to all clan cats, which angered her Shadepaw. A battle ensues between the sisters, with the outcome of Shadepaw being the victor and Stripepaw being exiled out of ShadowClan. She was now a loner, but she felt confident that she could survive in the forest thanks to the training from ShadowClan. After learning about BloodClan and joining them, Stripepaw, now Blister, plans to overthrow their leader and transform BloodClan into her own clan, BurnClan

**Personality:** Blister is a cocky, outward, rebellious, feral, and snarky she-cat. She believes that the cats that believe in StarClan and greedy and delusional, and mock them for “talking to the sky.” She also doesn’t like following rules and will purposely break them for her own amusement. That being said, she also secretly feels bad for any loners or outcasts that are going through the same hardships as her and will sometimes share her prey for those who need it the most.
