#i'm v sorry if your rusty ended up under the cut it's cuz the full layout looked really rough no matter how i arranged or cropped it :I #too many tiny faces on too big a canvas etc etc made them really tiny and indiscernible #thank you to everyone who allowed me to draw their designssss #this was such a fun project #rusty the steam engine #it took mmmmm maybe 8-10 hours to color total on top of however many hours of sketching and then lining #maybe 15-20 in total #but it was fun and very relaxing actually! i really enjoy working on other people's designs #if you zoom in and check out the actual details i will love you forever and ever #starlight express #stex #stex fanart #starlight express fanart #stex rusty #rusty stex #starex #starex fanart #art or whatever #i'm never drawing this many men again in a row #also i'm fucking sorry if this is the second time i ping you for this post. it's because tumblr sucks ass

quick human!rusty

#i have a few mostly human designs of rusty but i don't think i've drawn this one yet #i love this outfit for him i've drawn him in it a few times #also red hair streaks because if he's going to be a person he deserves it #athletic cutie :) #starlight express #stex #starlight express fanart #stex fanart #starex #rusty the steam engine #human au #i don't really like human aus cuz like why would i remove all the intricacies and whimsy of robots. but also i love this design so he's- #-worth it :) #maybe if i draw rusty enough times i won't have to feel feelings anymore #art or whatever

smokin car

#ashleyyyyy my luv #starlight express #stex #starlight express fanart #stex fanart #starex #ashley the smoking car #her friendship/subsequent falling-out with rusty is one of my favorite things to write it's soooo interesting to me #will detail it later #she should be a little older actually to match rusty but im too lazy to fix it #despite having longer years in service most coaches act/appear between 18-35 #art or whatever

[op3ra]
