Emily's 'RWS look' has a slight adjustment of proportions to more closely resemble the real Stirling Singles. I also thought that - being Scottish - it would be fun to give her bushy eyebrows to match Donald & Douglas in the RWS!

NWR poster (faceless) by KumataJDG The Railway Series RWS fanart illustration design print heritage vintage travel British Railways BR North Western NWR children's book Awdry colourful scenery Thomas the Tank Engine TTTE steam locomotive train James sunset countryside nostalgic smokebox variant
The landscape orientation and border design draw inspiration from historic LMS railway posters and the faceless variant's smokebox numberplate is of LMS design; nods to James' roots.

When I created a vintage-style poster for the Skarloey railway, I knew landcape was the way to go!
I try to draw inspiration from various styles of historic railway posters - variety makes them more 'real', like they're from different times in Sodor history.

Flattered by the level of interest and demand for physical prints my first two posters had recieved, I set about making more vintage style Railway Series poster designs!
Where else could I start but with Thomas the tank engine himself 😁

My second vintage-style Railway Series poster features Duck on his branch line!
The border is again in a classic British Railways poster format but the artwork is more stylised this time - in particular I was inspired by a vintage LNER poster for Helensburgh.

Here're some of my previous Railway Series themed commissions, all vaguely linked by the theme of "client's locomotive OC talks to existing RWS character". 😁
I quite enjoy these ones, especially when I get to choose a canon location to put them.

Just over a week to go until the deadline! This will be the fifth year in a row I've co-hosted these Railway Series anniversary art collabs, and I'm so pleased at the number and variety of entries we get every time!
Here're some of my entries from previous years 😁
#RWSfanart #TheRailwaySeries
As always, I am flattered by the positive responses to my latest Railway Series poster. This one I particularly enjoyed working on as James is my favourite character 😁
The question is - who would you like to see take centre stage next?
