Aaaaahhhhhhh

So adorable)))

I love this rusty spot on his face, and his metal collar looks amazing!

And yes, more smoke/steam breathing Rusty!!!

starlice expret design 1/4 — Rusty!!

I saw everyone making cool stex designs so I wanted to add my own! Analysis under the cut:

I saw someone draw him in a hat and I thought it was cool— reminded me a little of a train conductor. Imo the London 2024 costume made him look too shiny and new, so I used more elements from the old performances! I like to think that when he’s upset or angry he exhales smoke— literally steaming mad.

Okay guys, hear me out…

It’s been a long day, he deserves some rest)

You know what? We need more content with Poppa!

This man in his age still totally able to kick the ass of national champions - only for help his son to get the girl to win the race - isn't that badass?

Also, I love his interaction with freights and how he encouraging Rusty during the whole plot - this is absolutely adorable)))

(Aaaaaaand I also kinda believe that Poppa really might pretended to be a voice of Starlight Express for Rusty)

Omg, what is that? A new hyperfixation???

I absolutely in love with this silly train musical now, and I adore Rusty so much! He is my sweet sunny boy!

Honestly I wanted to draw just a couple of sketches, but now it’s looks like another character reference, ooops

Ohhhhhhh🥰, I can’t… he is so adorable)

And i love the idea that he literally have a steam breath (already imagine how he exhale a big cloud of steam in Greaseball’s face as an insult 😂)

Ok ok so let me break it to you guys, my friend says that my James looks like a deadbeat divorced dad with three kids (peter Sam,rusty,Duncan) with 1 young brother (Percy) and 1 younger sister (Rosie), not to mention James also has a father (Henry), so that makes hen a grandfather of the three boys.Soooo yeah once I settle up my au I will headcannon this and please dont attack me for this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Oh my GOSH this is so cool!!!!!!!!!!

CW: Unsettling imagery(?), badly drawn gore (blurred), blood

What if C.B died in the crash like he was supposed to and Rusty blamed himself

Starlight Express Characters’s favourite crisps!!!!!!

The most Irish thing, crips

Lumber

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

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

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

Rusty

Snax are a very cute crisp, they’re light, soft and very yummy lol, he loves a packet of Snax and tea

Slick

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

WOAHHH BANGER ALERT BANGER BANGER

Oh no Rusty’s in the dance circle!!!! 😨😨😨

I just realised how evil GB looks… oh poo… I also did a uh Cabeese circle.. should I post it 😈

Oh I never shared my really funny vision w/ you guys

Starlight Express x Dead End (couldn't decide if Dead End: Paranormal Park or Deadendia though, so it gets to be a fun mix of both!! But I mostly used DE:PP for the artistic bases) au

I have so many thoughts and ideas but I'm not sure if there's an audience for this au

Happy Valentine’s Day, with Rusty and Pearl!!!

I love them so much oh em geee

I made them pink woohoo

So I love this post and I wanted to draw them teehee (I couldn’t fit it all in cries)

I got lazy at the end lols

I'm not sure if trains have to eat, but if they do, I know right well that dinnertime at the Freight shed takes at least an hour every night.

First off, there's an argument every time over who has to set the table, which usually ends with Porter passive-aggressively slamming the cutlery against the table to let everybody in the shed know that he's the one who stepped up and did it.

Then dinner actually begins.

Rusty's always about fifteen minutes late to the meal cause he's out practising, and by the time he gets back, the others have eaten about half his food.

Slick uses like- half a bottle of ketchup and gets in trouble for using that much off Momma. Hydra starts gagging cause he can't stand the smell, and she jokingly shoves a piece of food covered in ketchup in his face and he almost gets sick.

Lumber and Porter start having a petty argument that ends in food being thrown, and Lumber spilling his drink everywhere.

Hydra starts yapping about hydrogen, and Lumber threatens to find a way to shove potatoes in his tank. That shuts him up for a while.

Slick starts at least one major argument a dinner by bringing up a topic none of them agree on that ends in everyone getting in a food fight, including Rusty and Momma. The reason for the argument is forgotten after about ten minutes.

Momma does make them all help clean up afterwards, or else they won't get any ice cream.

The text killed me omg HELP I love this video

Family Roadtrips

Drawings that didn’t fit on the old one ( Darn photo limit )

The text in the first one says “ thank GOD I’m the only normal train in here “ and above cb it says “ he he murder he he “

I also experimented with the one rock n roll too many designs for the 3 in the second photo!

Male Gb is hard to draw woah

HELLO!! Haven’t posted in a while help! The STEX brain rot has taken me over, here are some doodles of the characters!!

Some of the doodles are a bit rubbish so ignore those help

I love drawing everyone but cb and Electra are super fun to draw help

Magma drawings I did with @marshcan

The pink pen is mine and the red ones are Mals

Bonus me singing Loveshack

So I made Starlight express buttons

Could you draw Rusty getting in a fight with Hydrogen in court over custody of their newborn child named Lucy Stardust?

I almost drew Joule eating a taco watching this, but I forgot lol

So I did a stex art collab with @marshcan

In my half I drew Old Man Electra (what I affectionally call the old Electra) and C.B the Red Caboose

PLEASE GO CHECK OUT THE OTHER HALF HERE

Man RIP Rusty, Pearl, old man Electra, and C.B

Let’s be honest C.B would survive

"Man I love distracting Rusty while he drives!!"

*CRASHHHH*

Here's my half of an art trade with @camthecleric where we drew each other's favs! I drew revival Rusty and Pearl for her!
