So what if Makani Moana wasn't a locomotive, but HUMAN? A unique idea that I had a lot of fun translating! #art #digitalart #artistsonbluesky #humanized

Digital art of a train character, Makani Moana, being turned into a human!

Echoes ay th' Glen Fact File B: Marcus A bit more about him! The short Scot with a big heart. #art #artistsonbluesky #meetmyocs

A fact file referring to Marcus, with three different digitally drawn poses of him rushing into action, smiling and enjoying a spam musubi a bit too much. The information goes as such:

Ethnicity: Scottish.
Age: 22
Height: 5'6"
Gender: Male.
Temperament: Kind, enthusiastic.
Weapons: "Y'what?"
Role: Man with the plan.

Marcus is a mechanic from the north of Scotland who was roped into Sefina's story by complete happenstance!

With a tendency for overworking with no regard for himself, Marcus was forcibly sent on a Hawaiian holiday by his sister in the hopes it would help him blow off some steam.

Marcus, who hated the idea of being a layabout, decided to help save some steam instead!

The morning before he left for Hawai'i, Marcus was approached by the new Calcots & Dores Railway Preservation Society and told to keep an eye out for a locomotive they nicknamed 'The Lost Legend.'

Next thing Marcus knew, he was being held at wrench-point in a dingy old railway shed on the island of Kaua'i by a very, VERY angry Hawaiian...!

Echoes ay th' Glen Fact File A: Sefina. Here's a bit more about her! The 6'5" powerhouse herself. #art #artistsonbluesky #meetmyocs

A fact file referring to Sefina, with three different digitally drawn poses of her in anger, leaping with her spear, and looking sceptical. The information goes as such:

Ethnicity: Samoan-Hawaiian.
Age: 22
Height: 6'5"
Gender: Māhū, or third gender.
Temperament: Short, prideful.
Weapons: Recurve bow, spear, fire knives.
Role: Moana's guardian, historian.

Sefina is a Native Hawaiian attempting to do it all. She works all day and most of the night scraping up every penny for just one goal; saving an old sugar train from destruction.

This relentless tenacity of hers is a double edged spear; for years she has become more and more isolated, sinking further into despair as the tourist-centric future of Hawai'i knocks on her door: Condos. Hotels. Golf courses. It means the destruction of what remains of the Hanalei Railway. It means the elimination of No.4, Makani Moana.

Her surname, Kaiwi, means 'keeper of the bones.' Those bones are being maliciously burned.
It's 1975.
She's running out of patience, money and time.

Can she protect her Legend's legacy?

Been working more on my AU a bit; with the rapid expansion of the works in the 60s, the Fat Controller deemed it necessary to find a shunter to help move materials and rolling stock where it was needed. Say hello to Goliath :)
