Have a Skarloey anyway!! Been a little unsure of what sort of TTTE content to draw recently, but I saw a BEAUTIFUL picture of Talyllyn on Alamy and decided to redraw it as Loey! It really helped me practice my shading. Such a beautiful engine.
Here's the photograph I was inspired from! ---> https://www.alamy.com/talyllyn-steam-saddle-tank-locomotive-showing-headboard-with-welsh-image150395349.html
I have seen a lot of people in the TTTE fandom talk about how well Emily fits into the railway series books , but I never saw anyone draw her in an RWS style . the way I like to make things is mostly based on what I want to see , so I took this upon myself
after 4 days of being deeply fixated on this idea , I spent another 4 days threatening to hit clive spong with my bike as I drew this , she is born :) I hope you all like it
( traditional sketch and notes below the cut)
emily was originally drawn facing right , but when I scanned the drawing I decided it would be easier to mirror this scene from one of emilys first episodes :
note also the lack of the house and trees and people in the sketch , before I decided to use the sketch for a RWS style drawing it was going to be this drawing of thomas with more E2 features except its Emily with more stirling features
I chose the illustration style of the later RWS books since Emily was introduced during season 7 which is later into the model series
some of the style references I had. I should have done dalby style but I hate myself XD maybe I will draw Salty in Dalby style, or maybe kenneys
my program crashed several time from the LAYERS (THERE WERE OVER 28 just for emily ) and I had to restart some things a few times and I lost a little sleep over it and also school is starting so this took much energy
anyways thank you for reading the directors cut of shortiepunk losing it with no proof reading I love you all very much 😭
