Somebody has to be the favourite!~ Happy James day everyone!! ^^ I'm keeping the trend going and drawing yet another charrie I've never drawn before, and had quite a bit of fun with it, too! It ended up being a bit rushed but I'm still pretty happy with it hehe I can't say I've always been a huge fan of James, but I've seen SO much good fan stuff with him that I've definitely come around a bit more. (Trampy's James in particular is a BIG favourite of mine; love that characterization so so much!) And you can't deny he's a pretty splendid engine! ;3 hehe Plus I've honestly just been having so much fun with these monthly character drawings, I couldn't help myself. xD I had to do something for his day too! So enjoy this fabulous James! <3 And happy James day everyone!!

Hi!! I just wanted to say that I absolutely adore your AU! I only recently really started getting into the Thomas fandom and when I found your blog I just fell in love with it. Your art is wonderful, the designs are awesome (your Duck in particular is canon in my heart) and I've spent way too much time reading all the lore bc it's just so good!! It's also inspired me to just say "eff it" and make my own lil human AU and that's been a blast. So thank you!! <3 I hope you have a wonderful day/night

AH sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, this is such a nice message thank you <3 <3 It means a lot you mention the designs, I put a lot of work into them (Duck I'm pretty proud of so I'm glad you like him!!) and especially the lore, which doesn't always get looked into (which is ok but yknow) so thank you for that. And you're welcome!! I'm happy I could inspire you <:) I had a quick look at your blog- your art's good!! I hope you stay with it! And even though it's been awhile I hope you are also having a wonderful day and/or night

Hi! I know this is kinda sudden but I just read the third chapter of your fic and I am living for it! Song for a Siren is incredible, it's so, so good, the emotional rollercoaster I just went on was sooo worth it! x'D

Thank you so much for writing your fic!! I got so giddy as soon as I saw it updated, and it did not disappoint one bit! xD

Please keep up the excellent work! <3 I can't wait to see how this all unfolds in the end!!

AHHHHH hello thank you! ;u; not gonna lie, reading everyone’s reactions has been very fun and rewarding!

"Haha we totally got you!" "Oh yeah you should've seen the look on your face!" "I bet you thought we were gonna prank you ALLL day yesterday-" "-but instead we pranked you… by NOT pranking you!" "Bet you didn't see that one coming, eh?! Haha!" Surprise! I didn't forget what day it was yesterday. Turns out a particular pair of troublesome little tankers just had a different plan this year. ;P This year April Fools day down at Brendam was spent with BoCo squinting at the bees warily, but every time he asked what they were up to they'd just go "we're not doing anything!" but then give each other these little looks and giggle as they carried on doing what they were doing (which ended up literally just being their work.) Of course, their so-called dads know them better than that and knew something was up, but the last thing they expected was this little stunt I think LMAO And you just know Bill and Ben felt like they were being sooo clever with this little plan of theirs. But hey, at least everyone else got a reprieve from their usual antics for a day (with the exception of some mild dread and confusion I suppose but that's pretty par for the course I think lol), so I guess it's a win-win! xD Anyway I had a lot of fun with this! I missed drawing my beloved bees. <33 Still need a lil practice with Eddie but all things considered, pretty happy with how this all turned out! Enjoy the sillies, everyone! xD

EDDIE DAY EDDIE DAY EDDIE DAY!! :D Happy 2/2 to everyone's favourite old Seagull hehe Something small but that I think encapsulates Eddie pretty nicely <3 For funsies, I tossed some glasses on him, with the string-y things to make sure they don't immediately fall off. Or something like that! xD He prolly doesn't actually need them, but he does look quite sharp in them, I think! <3 Hope you guys enjoy! ^^ And a very happy 2/2 to you all!! And no matter what, you can do it, Steady Eddie! ^^

Behold! A couple of Lauras (ft. a flustered Duck ;3) for the lovely @dilemmaverse / @dilemmaart / @asktrio516! ^^

Been a bit lacking in motivation to draw again lately, but I knew I wanted to try and doodle Laura one day. And I genuinely ended up having SO much fun with it!! <3 (And maybe perhaps might've gone a bit overboard... LOL /lh) So here she is, in all her mermaid (and non-mermaid) glory!! :D She's genuinely so pretty I had a blast drawing her hehe. Plus it's been a good long while since I drew a mermaid so it was a fun challenge for me to boot! ^^ Certainly helped me get back into the groove of things. And ofc I couldn't help myself, I had to doodle her with Duckie too! Idk if I captured their dynamic exactly but I still think they came out pretty cute!! <3 What a catch indeed! ;3 I hope you like it Emma! ^^ You've been such a great person to work with and I love your designs so so much, I'm more then happy to gift u all the art hehe <33 /gen Enjoy!! :D

HAPPY PERCY DAY!! <3 Here's to everyone's favourite little green caterpillar with red stripes! /lh /aff Still been struggling a fair bit with artblock (and life's many curveballs... LOL), but I had to draw Percy for his day! ^^ I love this silly lil guy hehe, and I had a lot of fun drawing him! Kept everything relatively simple 'n sweet, maybe a tad rushed lol, but I'm happy with the result nonetheless! ^^ And I hope y'all can enjoy it too! ^^ Happy 6/6 everyone! :D

If it’s bee shenanigans you’re looking for, then perhaps they can steal Oliver 😅

OLLIE NOOOOOOO

Alas, it's too late. They got em. Poor Oliver is now another victim of the bees. 😔 /silly Don't worry, I'm sure they're gonna bring him back... eventually... maybe they just want to hear all about his little 'escape'?? ;P On that note, it never ceases to amuse me seeing just how tiny the bees really are. Like, I honestly feel neither the TV show models or CGI eras truly do it justice, but you look at Judy there and she's literally half the size of that Autotank!! x'D The bees being roughly only half as tall as Oliver of all engines is so funny to me. I knew they (and their basis ofc) were fairly small and short, but it's only when you see the IRL basis against another engine that you truly realize, oh, they are TINY tiny!! xD (Let alone the frickin rollingstock like... my goodness xD I love that so much for them, they truly are tiny terrors-) Genuinely didn't think I'd have it in me to doodle more silly antics, but here I am! xD Thank you for sending this in! This is such a delightful picture I love it sm (And ty for the art idea too, ofc ;P hehe)

(Also yesssss more pictures of Judyyy my beloveddd <333 Love that lil lady sm!) Thank you so much for the ask!! ^^
