#tank engine twins

Hey y'all, I'm still alive! Huzzah! xD I'll admit August has kinda just flown like a blur, and I'm still trying to recover from my sickness. But while that was going on I hit a nostalgia kick, and... well, this is the result! xD

As a 2000s kid I grew up watching all sorts of cartoons, but I especially remember Thomas and Friends. One of my fondest memories of that time was me and my little brother having breakfast before school, and as the intro played and Thomas went into the tunnel, we'd always be excited to see if today's episode would have the static faces or the moving ones (the show wasn't all CGI yet so we saw both types of episodes). It was a lot of fun. xD 

Of course, none of the episodes were neccessarily in order. But while I was sick I decided to rectify that by going back and watching the show from the beginning, and... yeah, I got hooked on it pretty fast. x'D And it's given me a newfound appreciation for the show that I never really had as a kid, and especially for the characters that I otherwise would barely think twice about.

Like these two little gremlins, good ol' Bill and Ben.

If there are two things I have an incredibly soft spot for, it's the found family trope and just sibling dynamics in general. And Thomas and Friends was kind enough to give me two sets of twin brothers to get hopelessly attached to! xD (I absolutely adore Donald and Douglas as well, and I want to draw them too eventually!! <3)

Between petty sibling banter and causing chaos for all the bigger engines around them, they are just so silly and I love them for it. x'D I also find their relationships with BoCo and Edward particularly sweet, especially in fanworks. There's just so much to love and I'm just such a sucker for this kind of duo. x"D

But yeah! That's pretty much how August has gone for me. Watching the original Thomas and Friends and getting hopelessly attached to the characters in it. xD It's actually been a lot of fun! And learning how to draw the trains has been both challenging and equally fun. :D I think I needed a nice challenge to really get my creative juices flowing again, and this was just the challenge I needed!

Not to worry, though! I'm sure I'll be back in the Fnaf boat soon enough. As, like William Afton, I always come back to it. xD

That's all for now though! Thanks for sticking with me during my semi-hiatus, and look forward to more art coming soon! <3

And as a bonus for making it all the way through my rambling, here's a bonus Bill!

Is he plotting revenge on Ben? Is he plotting World Domination? Or is he just judging someone? Who knows! xD And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^

Tiny Teenage Tank Engines

Bill, Ben and Nia

The tank engine twins, Bill and Ben Moran, became good friends with Nia Kur, the new tank engine from Africa, since the events of "Hunt the Truck." Nia is now one of the lucky few that the twins spare from their pranks.

But the three engines are now teenagers (Nia is thirteen, while the twins are fourteen), and the hormones have been unleashed. Ben seems blissfully unaffected, but the same cannot be said for his brother and Nia...

Happy 9/9 everyone!! <3 As an avid Scottish twin fan, I wasn't about to miss an opportunity to draw one of 'em! It came out a lil rushed but I'm still pretty happy with the result!! :D Thought it'd be fun to celebrate by drawing the Engine Donald with his human counterpart in my AU (which is still very much in the works; hoping to post more about it soon!) so here they are! Enjoy! :D And remember; SCOTLAND FOREVERRRRR!! xD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Donald (c) TTTE Art (c) Me! <3

Got these two today at a car boot sale! I was at first content with only Douglas (as he was the only one I saw out in the open), but I ended up getting Donald as well. It feels right, now. They’re a little scratched up, but I don’t mind!

[esperfruit]

Could I have some wholesome Douglas x Oliver moment like the two of them cuddling in bed or kissing on the lips or why not both? Anyways, I really loved the escape fanfic adaptation and it was so beautiful. I loved it when Oliver but is arm onto Douglas shoulders and he blushes. Can’t wait for more. Have a nice day

They deserve it after the horrors they had been through
