Updated Jackie Lynn Thomas fanart 🩵🐚

I decided to experiment with shading in her hair and adding a little blush on her face. I really like how this turned out. 😊

Anne, Star and Luz as the Mario princesses! 🩵🩷🧡

(This was technically my first time drawing Anne Boonchuy, but I think it turned out alright.)

Starco hug ❤️🫂💚

Felt like recreating that one art piece I drew back in June of last year, and also just a little something to cheer some of you guys up. I feel that May/June can be the roughest time of the year for most folks out there, but I'm sure that in the end everything will be alright. Trust me. 🙂

Stay awesome! ✨🩷

Fanart of Thomas the Tank Engine, drawn to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Railway Series! The first book (The Three Railway Engines) was released 8 decades ago today on May 12, 1945 despite Thomas not appearing until the second book. I retraced a CGI era screenshot of him but drawn to match his OG RWS illustration.

I honestly don't think I'd be the same man I am today if it weren't for this franchise coming into existence, and when I'd be first exposed to this franchise when I was only 3. Thomas & Friends will forever hold a special place in my heart, as it was pretty much my all time favourite franchise growing up. I never really got into other major franchises or cartoons at a young age, mainly because I was limited with what I was allowed to watch back then, so Thomas felt like it was always there for me. It was the show that got me into locomotives at a young age, and I even feel I learnt most of my railway terminology from watching Thomas.

Even in the roughest periods of my life I still held on to my devotion towards him, despite when I reached adolescence and almost felt as if I was too old to still continue liking the series. I've found it better now to just try and distance myself from most of the fandom, but I'm really thankful to have made the strong friendships that I've gotten in the past few years thanks to Thomas. (Quite fitting for a franchise that has "the power of friendship" as its central theme.)

The franchise as a whole has had its fair share of ups and downs, no denying that. But in all honesty, I don't give a f*ck anymore towards any of the dumb discourse surrounding this series, whether it be towards the mediocre to lame HiT/Miller/BWBA seasons, TATMR, All Engines Go, or even the perspective of people who aren't fans of this series. Is it just a silly British show for kids? Yeah, at the end of the day there's no denying that regardless how you persuade otherwise. But it's MY silly British show for kids, and the only person who can truly control what I love is myself.

Happy 80 years to Thomas & Friends. Thank you so much to Wilbert Awdry, Britt Allcroft, David Mitton (may all three continue to rest well eternally), and everyone else who was able to bring this franchise to life and give me, and everyone else, a better childhood even in the most minor of ways. And I hope people will still continue to respect this franchise for many more decades to come, regardless whatever direction the series will go next. 🚂💙

Updated Pomni fanart ❤️💙🎪

I had mixed feelings looking back at my previous 2 attempts with drawing her, so I drew her a third time by retracing a screenshot and I feel proud with how this version turned out ^^

Amity Blight fanart 🐈🩷✨

Surprised how I haven't ever made art of her until now, since her and Luz feel incomplete without each other.

Fanart of Emily/SodorCentral's trainsona🚂💜 (@sodorcentral)

I traced over a photograph of LNER B12 8572 (since it was easier than trying to sketch it) and gave her a Trains-Formers style face to match with my recent Thomas drawing.
