The upcoming Thomas reboot might be using AI, but this video certainly isn't! In it I discuss the two new steam engines revealed in Christopher Awdry's recent lore drop. Premiering very soon!

With all this talk of Railway Series headcanons, I figured that I'd upload the second half of my video on the visiting engines from The Other Railway that came to Sodor to do the work of the Fat Controller's engines whilst they were away visiting the mainland.

This week's video is premiering very soon! It's the first video in a two-parter in which I draw the seven engines from The Other Railway that came to Sodor when the Fat Controller's Engines went to the Big City

My latest video is premiering in a few hours! Quite a short and simple one this week, but one that I've wanted to do for a while. I always thought the ERTL character portraits for some of the Narrow Gauge engines looked a bit off, but not anymore!

My Christmas video is premiering very soon! Today I'm looking at various Hornby models that resemble and/or were repurposed from models of Thomas characters, and drawing them as the characters in question!

#Witchtober Day 16 - Wild

And that's a wrap! Join me next year for Witchtober 2026 (Though I'll probably upload something on this account between now and then!)

#Witchtober2025
Penny is holding a cup of tea in one hand and a saucer in the other, as she reflects on the events of this year's Witchtober. "What a wild month, eh?" she says to nobody in particular.

#Witchtober Day 15 - Sweet

When someone has unknowingly eaten your collection of cool and interesting rocks, you have to improvise.

#Witchtober2025
Abi and Verney Normal are looking at a desk with a "cool rock collection" sign, but is instead covered in sweets/candy. Abi looks at the sweets disdainfully and sighs. "It's just not the same" she says. Verney says nothing, but clutches his cheek in pain, for he has severe toothache after attempting to eat rocks

#Witchtober Day 14 - Bubble

There's a certain bubble that can't pop soon enough!

#Witchtober2025
In the background is a bubble held together with tape and plasters, containing the anusesque logo for OpenAI. In the foreground, Penny (left) is pointing at it and making the soyjak face. "The A.I. Bubble is going to burst!" she says. Josie (right) holds a pin in one hand and says "Let's make it burst quicker!"

#Witchtober Day 13 - Gem

Despite what Google's AI overview might tell you, it is not a good idea to eat rocks

#Witchtober2025
Panel 1: Abi Normal's brother, Verney Normal, is pushing her away as he holds a bag of sweets in the other hand. "Give them back, Verney!" cried Abi, but Verney replies "Tut tut! All these sweets are bad for you." Panel 2: Verney pours the bag of sweets into his mouth. "I'll dispose of these!" he says as Abi yells "NOOOOOO!" Panel 3: "It'll take years to rebuild my cool rock collection" Abi says in a defeated manner. Verney cracks his teeth whilst munching on the rocks (they were not actually sweets)

#Witchtober Day 12 - Eclipse

The moral of the story is, if you have a fragile ego, never attempt to make the world a better place because there will always be someone louder and stupider who will get more attention
Panel 1: Cynthia looks at a piece of paper on her desk. "Yes! I've done it!" Panel 2: She heads down the corridor holding the paper in one hand. "Look everyone!" she says, "I've created a cure for the common cold!" Panel 3: Lizzy is showing Cynthia's friends a new trick she's learned- shake a pencil slightly to make it look like it's wobbling. "Behold!" she exclaims, "The wobbly pencil trick!" Marika and Gwendolyn are impressed. "Wow! Lizzy, you're a genius!" they say. Cynthia looks disappointed.

#Witchtober Day 11 - Bloom

Sometimes, it's easy to see the past through rose-tinted glasses, but sometimes yellow-tinted glasses are more accurate

#Witchtober2025
Panel 1: Josie and Penny are in a green field under a blue sky. Josie is playing a game on a nondescript handheld device. "I wonder what life would be like if it was more like a video game?" she says. Penny hears this and has an idea. Panel 2: Penny uses her magic to cover the world in an ugly filter, giving everything a yellow tint and making the whites overexposed. "Hope you like games from 2007!" Penny says.

#Witchtober Day 10 - Reanimate

Animation can be an enjoyable pastime for some people, but not for others!

#Witchtober2025
Panel 1: We see an over-the-shoulder view of Josie using a drawing tablet to animate a bouncing ball Panel 2: Kamya pops in out of nowhere and shows Josie a new spell of hers, which deletes Josie's animation. "Look at this new spell I've discovered!" Kamya says Panel 3: Josie holds up the tablet, realising the animation she worked so hard on is now gone. "Your stupid spell deleted my animation!" She says. Panel 4: Kamya is painstakingly redoing the animation that Josie had been working on, sobbing in the process. Josie gleefully outlines some of the various principles of animation to her. "So there's squash and stretch, anticipation, staging..."
