Um... YES!!!

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!!

Holy smoke that IS Daisy

Can we see some interactions between Ryan and Thomas and/or Ryan and Daisy?

in daisy’s defense, she always saves ryan from all the awkward and borderline WWE-like gresley family reunions. he’s gotta make it up to her.

"Who's that?" Someone asked as a big, blue engine backed into the sheds.

"It's Duchess!" Gordon cried. "And she's got new paint!"

"That's not the ONLY thing that's new!~" Sang Duchess. "Look closer!"

"Why, bless me," Wheeshed Edward, seeing her shining brass nameplates. "You've a new name, too!"

"Alice!" She gushed. "Isn't it lovely? The Fat Controller gave it to me. Oh, Alice must be the most perfect name for an engine there ever was!"

The other engines rather liked their own names, but they agreed that Alice's fit her perfectly.

"New name, new railway, new paintwork..." rumbled Gordon. "You're practically a new engine!"

"Yes," answered Alice the Royal Blue engine. "A new engine with wonderful new life!"

~~~~~~~

(Here it is, the first concept piece I ever made for Alice when I was first planning her out! It depicts the very final scene in her character arc after a long, rocky journey with the Fat Controller's engines. It's a bit old, but I'm still proud of it!)

This art is so adorable but I actually believe the Kirby characters truly are their Smash size. Sakurai claimed back in the 2000s that they were "six inches tall", but after the introduction of Adeleine/Ado (a human girl) in the years after Sakurai stepped away from Kirby, it doesn't make sense that Kirby and co could be six inches tall when they are clearly much larger next to her

I love how big meta is in smash wide blueberry

anon i think about this so often, i doodled this a while ago with my mains lol.
