Compiled all my unfinished and scrapped drawings onto one page. A lot of them are kinda old, so please excuse any weird style changes.

Billie "Bronzewing" sketches and lore

Random lore drop down there ⬇️⬇️

Read his entire backstory here if you want to. Idk lol: https://toyhou.se/31682679.bronzewing

- The song "The Hottest Place In Town" was originally sung to Billie to help encourage him to come out of his shell after a serious accident caused him to shut out pretty much anyone.

-Returned to Australia for 5 months to farewell his brothers and sisters. Comforted his only surviving sibling, Bella "Bantam". During this time is when Journey Beyond Sodor would take place. Frankie and Hurricane would become overwhelmed by the amount of work they'd have to do in Billie's absence.

- Before moving to the Mainland, he shared a close bond with his siblings, Brock "Badger" and Bella "Bantam". Often messed with the Port Kembla workers (switching nameplates, etc), which is part of the reason why Billie was painted in easily identifiable colours to prevent confusion amongst the workers.

- Upon returning to the Steelworks, he was utterly confused to see 3 new engines working there. Curious, he asked the smallest one, whose name is Theo, what exactly happened while he was gone. When learning what Frankie and Hurricane had done, Billie was far from happy. He was absolutely furious.

- Tends to force down his Aussie accent and slang so the others at the Steelworks (and for generally anyone who isn't Aussie) can understand him clearer. (He is 100% bogan).

- Went full angry bogan on Frankie and Hurricane when he learned what they had done to Thomas and James.

A small Bronzo render for a fic I wrote which I've linked under the cut :)

Textless ver + link to fic ⬇️⬇️

Feel free to check out the fic! It's pretty much a telling of how Billie would've met the experimental gang. (Also pls keep in mind that this is the first time I've ever done a TTTE OC insert, so I hope it turned out aright ^.^) Rain on Rusted Rails - DaisyWithNoMakeUp - Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends [Archive of Our Own]

Remembered that I have a Steelworks oc.

Ngl out of all the ocs that I've made stories for and whatnot, this is the only one that can run on standard gauge.

Very rushed human ref I made at 3am last night (or morning? Idk lol.)

More random info down there ⬇️⬇️

Locomotive: Bandicoot Class no.457 "Bronzewing"

Name: Billie "Bronzewing" Baker

Age: 29

Gender: Male (trans FTM)

Occupation: MSC Steelworks shunter

He usually remains inside the Steelworks, shunting ladle trucks with Frankie and Hurricane. Sorts the wagons and other trucks around for the latter two to take up to Bridlington whenever need be.

Involved in an accident where his brakes failed, causing him to plough into a line of ladle trucks full of molten slag. Obtained burn scars on the left of his face and blinded in one eye from the molten slag.

Despite that, he kept his optimism and continued to work at the MSC, albeit a little more serious and cautious than he usually was.

Basis used to work as a shunter for the Australian Iron and Steel (AI&S) Port Kembla Steelworks.

Here a clip of Bronzewing in action. At about 2 mins 26 seconds, you'll be able to hear her whistle.

This is kind of how I'm imagining my main ocs rn ever since I started focusing on Bronzewing the most 😭✌️
