i've only been into stex for about two months now but i was possessed by the need to create a physical version of my number one favorite train and thus was born CB the doorstop, complete with the ability to do splits!!
progress photos and details of how i made him under the cut!
i started with the pattern McCall's 8708 for Raggedy Andy mostly because the picture on the pattern was him doing a split. this meant that he turned out WAY bigger than intended (he's a couple feet tall standing up)
this was my original sketch, i still love how his little face looks :3
the pattern came with an iron-on face print which i used to figure out the position of the eyes and mouth, i embroidered all of this on and sewed on red felt patches for cheeks cause i adore his clown makeup look
next i sewed the pieces of his body together so he looked like a little ghostie
then he got stuffed! and joined me as i watched a boot lol
next were his very very long legs and his little shoes! sewing the legs to the body was very undignified
the next day i made his clothes! the pattern made a shirt and a pair of overalls, i added white ribbon on the sides of the legs to match his costume and put the overalls under the shirt (which is sad cause they're so cute but that's not his design)
the day after that i made his accessories! i made the hat out of felt that i cut and sewed freestyle. i cut a piece of stretchy red fabric to be vaguely square and tied it around his neck for his kerchief. i made his elbow and knee pads out of black fabric with white ribbon i sewed to it diagonally. i made his epaulettes out of felt that i glued to cardboard to keep its shape, and then attached them with rubber bands so they stayed on his shoulders. i also made his belt out of the same black fabric and red felt. i made his boot cover things from black fabric and sewed red ribbon onto the sides. finally for his skates i sewed felt circles to the bottom for wheels, and sewed snaps to the toes of his shoes to attach rubber corks for toe stops!
and then he was done!! here's him meeting one of my cats.
i had so much fun making him!! the whole process probably took around 15-20 hours over three days. this was my first time ever making a doll and doll clothes/accessories. my next project is making rusty and dustin dolls for @wilddoveofaphrodite <3 thanks for reading!!
train doe is what the wreckage showed.
a engine doomed to soon explode.
his rusted frame, corrosion slowly hid his name, and who he used to be.
his life, an unsolved mystery.
from scrap sheets he was made, and scrap sheets he’ll return.
and wander on my own, and wonder why. whyyyy. whyyyyyy. whyyyyyyyyyyyy.
When I thought about it, I just had to draw the reprise for Ella! Inspired by another scene from Team StarKid's Cinderella's Castle. (I'm tagging this one for spoilers just in case! Aaa! + there's an iconic Tadius line under the cut.)
I honestly forgot how addicting drawing fanart can be!
PS: It strangely hurts to draw a troll in pain? (I'm usually team orc/goblins/trolls because being contrarian is fun, but defeating evil monsters is also fun... so I'm now conflicted.) Pls accept a happy Rancilda as my peace offering (see previous post).
PPS: There's a small Lady Ashmore in the bottom right corner of the border, because the line "Lady Ashmore danced... all alone at night," haunts my brain. Also, for the doorway in the back, I referenced one of the gates/doors from Labyrinth (1986).
The most Irish thing, crips
Lumber would like a lil pack of onion rings, they’re delish and easy to share
Also they’re so easy to eat omg
Porter like the simpler things in life, this stems to his taste in crisps, he’ll go for the original version of anything (hula hoops, Pringles etc), he’s just a dude!!!
Hydra would KILL for these lentils, fully foaming at the mouth plus they’re like green so, type of guy to put crisps in his sambo lmaoo
Snax are a very cute crisp, they’re light, soft and very yummy lol, he loves a packet of Snax and tea
This is definitely not because I love waffles..
Slick freaking LOVES waffles, they’re her favourite, if she’s eating a pack she will not share with anyone and if she has to she will give you the biggest stink eye ever.. ever
Best YouTuber ever fr fr, she’s lurking on the platform… answering asks… ooOoOooOooo
@elmushterri
have been going on a huge art spree these past few days...many C.B. drawings and.timothy.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY RRARAAAAGGHHH
time for rambling
the for the costumes I did forr the different years of C.B....some of the costumes are based on specific caboose costumes from other versions
1963 is based on NZ caboose, 1973 is loosely based on the C.B. from that one really old Indian amateur production..and 1993 is just based on the later C.B. costumes 1990-92..makeup too
I also have a hc that before C.B. was converted to a caboose and also got his staple radio, his name was Rover... I don't know why,but I feel like it really fits I love it(technically, it's still his name but he just calls himself C.B. and everyone rolls with it.it's kind of a radio handle basically)
I ALSO have a hc for timothy since his death was the only one that was not outright stated among the three original ghosts, and in the later seasons him talking about queen matilda beheading people,and him being reasonably scared of her...I thought it would be a cool idea to make his cause of death getting beheaded.could cause like funny moments and stuff with his head falling off or shit like that idk,,thats just why i drew him with his neck kinda split looking like that
I’m so sorry for making this
anyway, the question still stands, who’s ur fave caboose?
Please can we see 2012 big mohawk/mullet Joule?
I LOVE JOULE 🫶 I named my horse in rdr2 after her and gave it a good ol’ mohawk
Also Sweden invented dynamite yes you are very welcome 🇸🇪🧨💥🇸🇪🧨💥🇸🇪🧨💥
I'm very proud of these <:
whatever, man. whatsapp van
