Giant!au - Tumblr Posts
My first animation and I'm pretty happy with it.
Giant Zorran animation. I haven't forgotten about tugs yet.
I promised this for a little while now, so, have a blue ombre of James!
This is how he looks in my giant AU after he had his crash, take note here of how he has no red whatsoever on him. This was a request from him as he was not fond of the sight of Thomas's blood. He even now has trouble seeing red objects and not becoming a little uneasy.
(Yes I forgot his coupling rod, he is still meant to have them.) Next will be the Double H's.
Okay, another questioner/art ramble time. I've been thinking about stories for Spencer as he is a giant I plan to introduce, but the thing is I'm of the fannon that Spencer is Silver Link, one of the OG silver jubilees. He is one of a set of quadruplets, Silver Link, Quicksilver, Silver King, and Silver Fox. I was thinking that in Hero Of The Rails we don't actually see Spencer/Silver Link roll in, we see his twin brother Silver King. The film is basically a half-family drama along with a subplot of the normal Hiro story. I do plan to do a little more research to make homage to the OG episode Spencer was introduced in, but aside from that here is my scaffolding for a timeline- Silver Link was turned into a giant after his first year of service, he was vaccinated but it seemed he wasn't given a strong enough dose. He was the first of the A4's to become a giant. When dieselization came to the railway with threats of his siblings to be scrapped he was harsh to defend them making sure to keep eagle eyes even on their drivers and firemen. This came to a stop however when the duke and dutchess of Boxford approached Silver Link to ask him to work for them, he originally declined but when they said that they would buy his siblings and bring them along with him he said yes. Silver Link worked as a bodyguard whenever the duke and dutchess went somewhere and he acted as a guard dog on their estate, while his siblings did some other jobs here and there. Silver King was their main private engine they used to travel, Silver Fox was mostly their errand-runner, and Quicksilver was used to host rail tours to earn a little extra cash. Until one day Madam Rhapsody asks for the engines and giant to visit Sodor. What do you guys think? Interested in three silver hot-shots and one ginormous one?
More research... I've been looking into what the biggest steam locomotives are, because in the next chapter when I introduce Rhapsody she mainly has large engines apart of her personal fleet. From what I've gathered she'll have these engines and I'll also reveal their names- B&O EM-1 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone - Name: Denzell (M) Union Pacific Big Boy - Name: Fortissimo (M) Pennsylvania Railroad class S1 - Name: Vivacissima / Vicky (F) Union Pacific GTELs - Name: Angel (F) They'll be showing up in the next chapter, so be ready for these guys to turn heads.
Small little comic coming up for April fools, oh how the tables have turned.
No Gordon, wrong Thomas.
Nah, karma.
Late April fool's.
Good luck Gordon.
I need to do a list of Gordon's I'm gonna draw- 1) Young LNER Gordon from before he came to Sodor. 2) A hundred years old Gordon. AKA; where I think he'd be today in my human au. 3) A little headshot of giant au Gordon. (That I've already started.) 4) A fun little idea of a role swap pic, maybe two. If Gordon was a diesel, and if he and Scotsman swapped places in history. 5) And I need to finally finish that fusion of Scot and Gordon together.
Different versions of Gordon I promised- 12 years old: Gordon arrived on Sodor in my HM!AU at twelve years old, he mainly stayed merged to his engine body to make an illusion that he was older than he really was to the other engines, but they ran the math and knew he couldn't have been older than maybe 14. After Gordon rescued Henry from the tunnel that was when the others saw him de-merged from his body for the first time, and he stayed de-merged for the rest of the time Henry was recovering. Afterwards Gordon joined the others in the upstairs house instead of staying in his engine body. 100 years old: In present-day of 2022 Gordon had been retired from Sodor's express line since 2005 which his two adoptive daughters Pip and Emma now run. He has a long-distance marriage with Rebecca who still works on Sodor while Gordon works in a developing town called Lavender Meadows. He's currently the only standard gauge engine working in the small town with a narrow-gauge line being built around the hills which has one diesel working on it. He's been nicknamed Elder Dragon because of him being a steamy and he acts as an old grandpa dragon to everyone he meets, wise but intimidating. He now has a lavender livery with a number 1 on his tender and a purple dragon painted up his boiler, he also has a tattoo on his human body of a purple dragon on his back. Diesel AU: Gordon is a British rail class 55 whom pulls the express. After Sodor became a heritage line some steam engines started showing up but the fat controller keeps them closer to Vicarstown for the steam enthusiasts to see them when they first come on to the island. Flying Scotsman has actually taken a liking to Gordon as he reminds him of his older brother Galeing Gallaway. So he's sort of tried to take him under his wing with Gordon wishing the old galloping sausage would leave him alone. Role Reverse AU: The prototype of Sir Nigel Gresley's A1 Pacifics, the Galeing Gallaway, the world-famous engine for the first to go 105 miles per hour. The one to also travel the world in the 1960s, and the eldest brother to Scott. GG is cocky much like cannon Flying Scotsman. I like to imagen that if the two met they'd never shut up about getting out of the other's way and continuously trying to one-up each other, while Gordon and Scott are just watching them fight like children and trying to hold back their laughter.
Fusion of Flying Scotsman and Gordon, Scordon Gresley. It took them a month and a half before they were forcibly unfused because they also accidently fused with Spencer and the double H's.
Giant AU Gordon, he's not cannon but I'm debating writing a skit where Thomas shows up to an island full of giants.
Apparently I'm a very idiot because I didn't know that Tugs's anniversary was on April 4th. So have some Ten Cents pics.
Giant Hundred Dollar, aka- adult giant Ten Cents. I plan on him and the others making a return once misty island is discovered as that's where their hiding. He may make a cameo in the next chapter...
Finally my normal human machines au TC. I need to get to finishing the others off as the only one I've done in color otherwise is Hercules. I've drawn TC as you see here and I've halfy drawn up Big Mac... that leaves literally everyone-freaking-else... *Sigh...*
This was a one-shot I did in a "what if" format, basically my interpretation of an after munitions incident. The idea was that Hercules would take TC with him on his jobs since he obviously wouldn't make for a very good switcher in a busy harbor anymore, but he could make a pretty nice deckhand with some guidance. It also makes me smile that Hercules would have absolutely ripped Bluenose a new one after he found out the extent of TC's injuries. And that may or may not have made the naval-twit permanently stuck in a wheelchair.
I got a question for you guys, out of the AU's I have which one do you like to see the most? And would you be interested if I did asks on that AU? Mythic AU Giant AU Human Machines AU Fusion AU Swap AU Role Reverse AU The rest are ether off-shoots of my human-machine one or something more akin to a one-off. Again, let me know and I'll make it happen. These can all go for TTTE and Tugs.
A person who will be showing up in the next chapter.
And also have the limited edition Edward, though non-cannon.
I have done the giant James!
Black livery
Red livery
Blue livery Keep in mind James does have 82 other siblings, so it's bound to be that a few of them will be giants, so you may see this design in a future chapter. And thanks again to @moffittarts for suggesting these designs. Next will be the double H's and Toby!
I got a question for you guys, who do you wanna see next as a giant? I've already got Spencer, Skarloey, Luke, Victor, Carly, Henry, Diesel, and Toby in the works, but who else? I'm all ears to whom you wanna see. It doesn't even have to be a Thomas character, it can be Tugs, or even Jack and the Pack (I think that counts as its own little side thing.) Let me know in an ask or a message in this post.
These remind me of my giant AU, there very cool to look at tho.
Cleaning out my drafts- some designs for an AU based on one of my original projects that only my husband would understand the context of.
But the designs were cool and it’s TTTE so suffer 👏💖
How would Stephen be like in any of your aus? Just curious.
Human Machines AU- Stephen was one of the first locomotive converters ever recorded, beforehand converters were only carriages for horses to pull or they were sailboats. When Stephen was 20 he entered the Railhill Trials under the hidden identity that his machine body was an actual machine that he had built. It wasn't until a few years later when locomotive converters became more widely known did he fess up to actually being a converter himself. Mythic AU- Stephen was born way back in the medieval times to a dragon and a nobleman. The nobleman kept the dragon in the dungeons and was surprised when she laid an egg and subsequently had birthed to a dragon shifter boy, that being Stephen. As Stephen grew up he made very close friends to the royal sorcerer's son, a young sir Robert Norramby. The two were as thick as thieves, until unfortunately one day their kingdom was taken over by a tyrant of the name Culdee. Robert fled the kingdom while Stephen was trapped away in a cave until the 18th century. When he was founded and released, he was immediately put to work as a puller for carriages as it was obvious he wasn't 100% human, and they treated him like how they did the many fauns they had enslaved. It wasn't until an event marked down in history as called the Rainhill Becoming that Stephen had finally had enough and showed his full dragon body, burning the whole event down to the ground. He was eventually captured again then dragged into assisting dwarfs in mines for a few decades. He was then chained up again at some point, and locked in a stasis spell as a museum exhibit before sir Robert had found him again and rescued him. Giant AU- Stephen is still Stephen in my giant AU as he was in a museum when the giant sickness first came into the world, and he was also quickly vaccinated so he wouldn't become one. He is Glynn's best friend once the scarlet giant came to work on the earl's estate. Fusion AU- Same storyline as my human machines au, but it is a very well-known fact that fusing with Stephen makes you an automatic powerhouse. His wisdom and overall training throughout the decades makes him a very hard person to beat, and if you add an extra few years of youth to him or something like a diesel fusing with him, you'd better start praying. Swap AU- In my swap AU Novelty actually replaces Stephen in history, so yeah... just replace Stephen with Novelty in everything that you know. Role Reverse AU- After humans have left earth and moved to mars, Rocket is the first steam locomotive converter to be born in over 100,000,000 years. Edward is amazingly still around during this time so the larger diesel-burning engine takes the little Rocket under his buffers. That's all I got for now, feel free to ask more about any other characters if you want.
This is like what the giants in my giant au do, their hooked up like a harness.
Would Monster!Thom still pull Annie and Clarabel?
he does! although theyre no longer made for rails, and are instead designed to be pulled by the giant monster engines
(thomas's gear is loosely based off horse tack)
Have some more giants! These guys are cannon to the story, the next batch won't be and will be requests from discord. So stay tuned.
Finally finished these, Thomas and Glynn in their full working harness.
