Dustin, you must trust in me!

I wanted to try a new artstyle, I wanted to fiddle with the design of Momma and the freight, I did both. Notes under the cut.

Notes:

• The Rockies aren't here cus I ran out of motivation but I imagine them being younger than Rusty.

• Ages listed are mental ages not physical, we are talking about robot trains brought to life by star magic and childrens dreams here.

• In my mind they are all teens or college kids and that's why they're all like that tm. Getting really life or death over a sport? Being immediately ready to ditch said sport cus a girl rejected you? Accidentally snaking your best friend by racing with her man? Being really cruel to your annoying little brother to impress two cool bad boys? These are all reasonable responses to being 16 to 20.

• The fact that Control is an actual child probably does not help.

• I like giving Dustin and CB matching design elements as the true and fake final race partner for Rusty. So they both have red cheeks, a bandana, and Dustin gets plus symbols where CB gets crosses.

• I couldn't decide if I wanted Momma to have a skirt or trousers so I gave her a split riding skirt, like a cowgirl.

• Flat Top is hard to draw.

This post is to both summarize every character I’ve designed but also be a quick reference for a fic I’m writing. I’m so glad I’m finally done with drawing all of these.

so my mate Kenji wanted to learn more about stex but needed a bit of help understanding the final race as he’s never watched it, i made this abomination and i hope tumblr finds it as hilarious as we did…
