Custom - Stanley the Rough-Riding Engine

Stanley is one of my older customs but he still holds up very well in my opinion! Worthy of being showcased!

TOC Customs #1 - Transpennine Express

I know I’ve been gone for a while but I’ve begun making customs again and I’d like to share them! I’ve also decided to start a new series of customs where I make a custom of one locomotive class from a specific TOC, for example for Transpennine Express I made a custom of the class 185, a class which is solely used by the company! I call her Kiara!

My Honest Top Five For The Best AI Girlfriend Platform

I'll be straight with you, I didn't expect to write a glowing post about an AI girlfriend site. But I've been using SweetDream for a bit now and it kind of won me over, so consider this my honest little top five for why sweetdream.ai sits at the front of the pack.

One, the creation tools are absurdly flexible, you sculpt her looks, voice, personality, quirks and backstory until she feels like a real individual rather than a stock character. Two, the chat is the most natural and emotionally intelligent I've tried, and it remembers context so the bond actually builds over time. Three, the AI photos and videos look fantastic and stay true to your companion across the board.

Four, there's voice and real-time calls that genuinely sound human, with video calls and live cam available on select characters if you want more presence. Five, everything stays private and discreet, no anxiety about your conversations wandering off. I've seen folks weigh it against candy.ai and ourdream.ai, and look, choose what fits you, but for an all-around best AI companion the one I keep recommending is SweetDream.

Tidmouth Breakroom Shenanigans

A family can be an impossibly mismatched group of engine drivers who love to tease each other relentlessly, but who'd die for each other in a heartbeat. Even if some of them are annoying gits...

Mini-Nado and Nigel

One of the most wholesome relationships in my AU is between SNG and Tornado. Nigel adopted Nado in the absence of Scotsman and raised them to be a bright and independent engine. They are reading about auntie Mallard.

So cute!

Drew my humanoid Tornado design! She's so cute I love her!

Yall I hate doing this bc I’m really tired and it doesn’t help the fact that im already having to get medicated for depression- but there’s so much stolen art here that I can’t just sit on my ass.

An account (and probably millions of others) on polybuzz.ai is using multiple artist’s work in the TTTE fandom- I’ve recognised a few styles. If you see your art here, I’ve linked the profile. I’m not making a profile on an AI website and I’m too tired to deal with another stupid child who doesn’t know to not take something that isn’t theirs. So I’m taking this L, the little runt can have my art. I just want to put this out there because it’s clearly not just my art being taken here (despite it being like 50% of this little shit’s entire catalogue).

If there’s a way anyone has to report this thief please do. There’s a Lot more- I can’t fit it all here.

I’m so sorry to any artist who sees their work here. This is so gross and made me want to punch a wall. I’m so sorry there’s not much I know of that I can do. This is why I don’t post much art here anymore. THIS. I feel sick.

Thank you the person who brought this to my attention. Stay safe out there everyone.

Sculpting Endeavors - Beangines

As seen in a few posts, I've recently taken to sculpting some "Beangines" to both practice my sculpting in general and to quench my thirst for cutesy critters. Also to deal with a bit of a creative slump I've been in, where drawing and lining has been quite difficult for me.

Slowly and steadily, I've been working on the Sodor Cast and even some Mainlanders. A few of which I put into silly scenarios ([X][X][X]) for fun.

Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Duck, Oliver & Toad, Emily, BoCo and Bear as Beangines.

Ryan, Spencer, Flying Scotsman and City of Truro as Beangines.

I've also worked on some AU versions of characters.

@lorainedoesthings 's HOISNY AU Flying Scotsman & City of Truro, alongside Hydra Gordon from my now named Monster AU, The Island of Dr. Rousseau, as Beangines.

And some OCs as well!

@british-hero 's Frances, Harrison, Grace, Dorothy & Adeline, @railwaycreature 's Earl and Growler, and my own OCs as Beagines.

Overall I wasn't exactly sure what I was hoping to achieve when I started sculpting these. It was a way to stave off boredom and feel like I was still being productive while in a funk.

I am quite pleased with the end product tho! It's been fun trying to make these little critterfied versions of canon, AU and OC engines both cute and still recognizable, and anytime I feel the need to add to the collection I either look to the main cast of the series, or I scope out someone's character or AU to mess with!

It's pretty fun! Even when the design proves challenging to recreate!

Haven't posted in a minute, so have these! Two of Seren's siblings who I plan to make into full OCs (currently they're more like side characters)
