It is the Lovely Flying Scotsman’s 100th Birthday today and I couldn’t be more happy to say Happy Birthday!

In my wife and I’s AU; Our Scotsman has been sick with Cancer since he was a kid. It disappears then reappears after a couple of years. Treatment does work but it makes Scotsman sick and Weak.

Scotsman had to quit touring for the sake of his health when it came back around the time a majority of his siblings died and he was going home to Sodor. (You guys already know how that reunion between Gordon and Scotsman went.)

Well after years of getting the best treatment from Sodor’s Hospital; Today on his birthday, His favorite nurse came in and told him some very amazing news.

Scotsman’s Cancer was in Remission. Treatment had managed to shrink it down to a very small size; Hopefully getting it killed off. After Scotsman heard this and was let go from the hospital; He went to see Gordon and tell him the very happy news. (With his Bandana on his Head Off.)

Needless to say; It was the number one thing that made Gordon cry the biggest happiest tears of his life.

Happy 100th Birthday Scotsman! You keep showing the world how grand the Gresley builds are!

A redo of my Edwards Exploit drawing from ages ago, now in traditional mixed media!

I felt like I didn't capture the mood I wanted last time when I looked it over again (to the horror of everyone who got to see this early. Thank you for gassing up the old one, and keeping me motivated through the making of this)

this version is much more directly studied off the Peter and Gunvor Edwards' illustration, because I've grown into the opinion that the model adaptation of exploit was really weak (technical limitations!!! what a shame) and i want to get back into studying these illustrations, there's a lot to pick apart in them.

Here's a bunch of perspective lines i drew over it when I was sketching. (I don't normally do that when I redraw, but that's usually because I'm drawing from model era screencaps and I can rely on those being proportional, most of the time) Edwards face breaks perspective here just a bit to add more drama to the scene, everything else is proportional.

some in-progress pictures, during which I absolutely HATED how it looked and wanted to switch to digital because I feared I'd messed it up irreconcilably 😭 good thing I was able to look at it with fresh eyes after staring at it for like four hours, the first session of drawing ended at 1am. Believe me, if you hate how your drawing is turning out, put it down and come back to it later!!

Edward is also more referenced off a real K2 here because I really like how they look. Unfortunately they have painful geometry.

something frustrating about my traditional drawings is how they can't be viewed from multiple angles online. I use silver gel pen to highlight some parts (here it's Edward's handrails and the damage) but it doesn't show up well when I photograph it head on. I hope this picture shows a little bit of how it shows up in real life!

(if you can't see, look at the bottom of Edward's boiler bands)

Hopefully you enjoyed reading under the cut :] I like explaining my process and I appreciate it immensely when someone shares my enthusiasm for it.
