So according to the Thomas Twitter base, I'm apparently crazy for writing an anti-bullying comic that reflects the harassment I received from the auction and that I should deal with it as if social abuse should be the standard.

Anyone would think it's a crime to protest against unjustified mockery

Thanks.

Close-up photos of the concept art.

And here is the pre-production concept art. It has its own frame, but it has a piece of shipping cardboard being used as the backing. Needs a proper backing.

The Lady painting looks great, and I can't wait to remove it from its sleeve and reveal its full glory. For now, I'm going to leave it in until I can get a frame for it.

Just got back from my dance event. The Allcroft auction items arrived while I was away.

Well, I've recovered enough to attend the next dance event, but only just.

I can't deal with the collective stupidity of people who think it's justifiable to hurt others, whether it be physical, emotional, or verbal, without taking responsibility or understanding the consequences.

I've just found out that I might have been affected by the latest Covid strain. All the symptoms I have match up with what comes with this strain so the probability is very high. And I have a dance event scheduled for next week.
Just my f🔞king luck!

Can something good just happen for once?

I hate this. I've been ill for nearly a week, data recovery from my hard drive hasn't been successful, I miss my cat, I've been made a laughing stock on Twitter, and the LadyxḄ̵͓̅́͌̓̒į̸̩̝̮̯̿͂̌l̷̡̢̞͕̝͗͒͘͘l̶̨͎͊̆y̵̧̗͓̓̐̎̍̐̕ proshippers are celebrating the fact that Britt Allcroft's Lady is going to be displayed alongside the Billy prop.

It's just not my Shining Time...

And Stanley is the unwitting pawn caught up in the results of everyone else's conflicting choices.

The primary characters of the Stanley Parable are quite relatable in their own regard.
The Narrator wants to bring his creation to fulfillment but has to deal with the choices of others that throws his objective off course,
The Player wants to have independence and not be controlled by someone else,

You know, I'm beginning to see a pattern in the years that have been more strenuous than most. At least from my experience. 2013, 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025...

I'm not feeling well this week, but I did want to share that I was able to win two items in the auction: these two watercolor paintings. It's not much compared with what I'd originally wanted to get, but for what it's worth, it's a good consolation.

I feel ill. 🤒

Congrats.

I lost Lady... I couldn't save her...

Good luck to @northernstarca.bsky.social for winning whatever Shining Time Station memorabilia they can in the auction today!

The worst case scenario is I get nothing, which I pray is not the case, give me strength. The other items shown are not of essential importance, but if I get lucky I could try to get one of them. Not everything, but something.

But seeing how Lady's bidding is pretty high up, it may be very likely that I'd have to forgo either her or the documents. I wouldn't be able to preserve both if the amount exceeds a certain range, which is very upsetting to me because both are of much personal importance.

The big priority items are of course the Lady prop and the TATMR documentations. I would like to get them both, Lady is special to me and the documents are of great necessity for the world-building of The Magic Railroad Adventures, my tie-in series to Thomas & the Magic Railroad.

Tomorrow's the big day, I've done all I could to prep myself. Just to inform everyone, I do have a substantial amount to put in bids, but I do also have a limit so I don't bust my bank account. I'll try to get as much as I can, but there's only so much that I can do on my own.

This isn't too suggestive, is it? It's Bisexuality Visibility Month and I wanted to draw Ashima being doted on by Thomas and Lady. Well, regardless, Ashima is one lucky gal.

Not sure how fruitful this will be, but I found this method that you could try:

Sorry this happened to you as well. Are you able to access a trash folder or anything? See if any of your art is recoverable?
