Finished old WIP into full art, yeah I'm very late, but better than never. A bit random MLP:FIM art (I swear I'll draw something TUGS related later). I love headcanon of Rarity being on aromantic spectrum, it's underrated tbh and she's de best pone (let's ignore that she hates green manes) Aroace people are valid af! Send love to them💚🤍🖤

I'm still kind of alive yooo- Here's mine fanmade facial designs/interpretations. For original characters from fanfic Before Railway Engines, written by @ryansock, please check them out in @beforerailwayengines. Note, they are not related to TUGS but to TTTE.

I honestly would like to see how other people interpret those characters!

And I warn you there's wall of text ahead...

I hope designs are decent at least, it was quick doodle (even though it took long time for me, for no reason), although I see few flaws here and there. You're free to criticize me, since I'm TUGS fan and not TTTE fan.

I wanted Connie to be more colorful than her real life counterpart and have some contrast between shades of teal/turquosie, and to make her contrast with Naoise. But I'm not sure about her face and metal eyelashes. And I hope she looks okay in duet with her "sister" design-wise.

Naoise is weirdest one probably, technically having two doors, which doesn't make sense from practical view. One for the face, and another one (that is open) for solely decoration purposes (depicting castle, flowers, having golden ornament). But I kind of like it, since she got easter eggs (I just hope it's okay to include them).

With Tarquin I tried my best to avoid him being similar to characters from TUGS design-wise, the key word is tried. I don't know if he looks like one of them or not, I can only hope. Decided to simplify his "roof" (I didn't find original one appealing), mouth is a rope, and eyes are still windows (taken from other parts of his body).

I thought of giving Naoise square nose instead of pointy one, so girls would contrast with Tarquin more. But I'm not sure.

I wonder if I should've give them typical gray face like usually Thomas characters has, but I wanted to go with wooden faces. But maybe they would clash with other Thomas characters. I also could've draw them with more depth, while here they're simplified, and give them better structure of faces.

Also Connie and Tarquin has real-life counterparts and therefor exact references you can find (although Connie doesn't have much compare to Tarquin).

While Naoise doesn't have any, so here's pictures of references/inspirations I used (please, ignore that one of them is modern lmao). But I didn't try to find for her counterpart, let her be generic and vague one:

(I'm thinking of drawing full body for boats, horses and people characters, different design variations now. Even though I'm not the best at drawing equines outside of MLP:FIM style lol)

Comin' Out (Annie's Song)

Hello friends!

For a while now, my partner and I have joked about we see Annie and Clarabel as Thomas' lesbian aunts - gay mothers keeping their failson out of trouble. That was something that we joked about before we started going out, and as a demiromantic bi person, that was a lot of self discovery about myself. So I wanted to do a story that channeled some of my aromantic/demi experience, and I had the idea of a story about Annie and Clarabel meeting each other for the first time that was knocking about for a while. I decided to do both. I hope you enjoy :)

I went into a bit of a frenzy writing this this week tbh, it just kept getting longer with more moving parts 😅 I don't view Annie and Clarabel as sisters, it's not something that's ever said in the show, and the only places I found that said it was a post on the Thomas Facebook and a Take Along Card. So it's about as canon as there being no number 11 engine on Sodor or the Spiteful Brakevan being a Brown Guard's Engine who helps Donald and Douglas. Their bio in the writer's bible for S17 describes them as "slightly wacky maiden aunts", which... i mean.... y'know... to me that gives "they were best friends and lived together" energy. And if the coaches in the books were meant to be "dutiful wives" to their engines, I don't think they're sisters. That whole thing on its own is freaky and weird like Thomas is widderwally twee years old he doesn't have a polycule

I thought it would be worth addressing since other people interpret them that way. That's fine! But this is how I see them and I hope you can appreciate that 🫡

Again, hope you enjoy! :)

Happy Valentine's Day, that is imo day not only for romantic love. For me this day was about self-love, familial and friendship love, since I'm not into irl romance (as greyrose/grey aroace due mental health). And I either forget or don't have energy to finish my wips, or post art, sketches often. But I found energy to post something simple, and not related to TUGS this time, something more original. And yeah I'm a bit late lol

[siberian-tug]

Happy New 2025 Year for everyone! I'm late a bit with this sketch, I couldn't finish this artwork in December. And even when had free time, I felt demotivated, sorry.. But anyway, this sketch is based on this, please read TUGSContinued scripts! https://x.com/TUGScontinued/status/1609338631453278211

Works that are never destined to be finished, I put them off for a long time and decided to leave them like this, some of the art is already more than a year or half a year old. There are also old reddesigns of tugs here

And Merry Christmas to all of you 🎄🎉

I'll just say... I genuinely don't know why people like this animatic so much, or consider it as well made lmao 😭 Old art style sucks and no decent anatomy, or perspective. And I'm still not sure how to rewrite episode Regatta, for TUGS Human AU. With Grampus getting blown up 💀 And I'm not planning to make part 2 of it, and buried this idea long time ago. And there's honestly better TUGS animations/animatics anyway 😔 And I'm not saying all of it, out of begging for compliments, I just genuinely dislike my old art sometimes. But also I'm not saying stuff in serious tone, mostly jokingly Also pls check my newer art- Edit: Damn, nice, nvm, I take my words back

Humanized Regatta animatic is done!!! Happy 4th July!
