Description
Okay, this is because I needed a new ID as much as anything else. XDThis is also a pretty typical scene at the Granite Street Boiler Works... as one might imagine, there’re an awful lot of boilers kicking around the place. XD Right now I’m waiting for the pressure to rise in one such vessel, apparently getting in some reading while I’m at it. Sales reports? News about the MRTC? Pride and Prejudice...? Darned if I know!
Also worked in a slightly new character design. I is happy enough with it for now.
(EDIT: Made image a bit smaller so it'll fit on my page better.)

the problem with how i build fires in a fire place is that i put a bunch of wood shavings in one of those tin garbage cans and dump about a gallon of diesel fuel on the big trash can and it doesnt make it go huge up in flames since diesel fuel inst higly flamable it just gives the wood shavings a good start for fire but it makes lots of smoke so if you forget to open the dampner its run for the pocker and open the thing open doors windows etc. (i grew up building fires in my dads stove so its hard to start a fire place fire im beginning to get better

I like it...reminds me of the boilers in steam packets. But I can see it as an industral boiler too.
Looks like one of my novels!

Your guess is absolutely as good as mine in that department! XD I guess I was going for an industrial boiler, but I really skimped out drawing it, so it hardly looks much like anything. XD
And huh, I guess it does.

I mean what he is reading, looks like one of my novels.
BTW, what program do you use to make this stuff!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH. XD I thought you were comparing the scene to one of your mills or mining operations! XD Yes, that book could very well be one of your novels.
And the program I use is called PhotoStudio (by some ArcSoft company). Came with my scanner.

Weirdest thing-- I JUST drew a Mikado today for the first time in about, ever. O.o Went with kind of a Spanish/Russian theme (whatever sense that makes).

Started out Spanish, wound up looking Russian. XD
Maybe I'll make it a GSBW "standard" design...
