Sorry for not posting for a while. Been trying to get life on track. I’ve also been practicing Blender for a while, and while I can’t say I’m great at it yet, I can now make decent looking wooden toy trains from when I was younger. This was rendered in Blender 2.8 Cycles. I’ll probably post more stuff I make on here.

Ever since my interest in steam locos and railways in general was rekindled back in 2012, I’ve come across a truck load full of spriters on DeviantArt. Needless to say most of them are a bunch of whiny crybabies who only upload recolour after recolour of the same base loco and then complain when someone dares to give them criticism.

Well, several of said people offered to make a sprite of my main OC Sandy and reversed back out of the idea once I showed them pictures of her class. They stuck with the long outdated and failed idea of a red Mogul hybrid as that apparently was “a lot easier to make”.

Tell ya’ll what, guys, they’re a bunch of lazy asses as this here proves very well how easy a 306 in fact is to make as a sprite, or side view digital art as I prefer to call it. At least the whining will stop now as I proved them wrong in every possible way with any of their statements that “it’s not possible/too hard”.

I’m still working on a face for each version as that will be pre-drawn with a pencil and then digitalized and fitted.

One of the greatest days in my life! I finally not only came to see my fave still existing steam loco in steam, but also got to drive her for a short section of the available track at the museum. :D

This is still a thing with me. ^^

Redraw of an old 2013 drawing, but this time it’s accurate in bases and gauge as well.
