-Bio: Ever since he first arrived on Sodor, and as the very first diesel engine on the railway, Diesel has been nothing but a devious, arrogant, malicious, and scheming jerk who is motivated by his hatred towards steam engines, believing them to be old and out of date, and his desires to make sure all of them are scrapped. He considers him and all other diesels to be revolutionary, but in reality, all engines are equal, and Diesel has only given his kind a very bad reputation. Every engine on Sodor hates him, especially Duck, considering how these two have had a rivalry ever since Diesel framed him for insulting Gordon, Henry & James during his first visit. He also has a rivalry with BoCo as well, thinking he should be in charge of all diesels, but the majority prefer BoCo, the yin to Diesel's yang. And as a self-absorbed villain, he is naturally selfish and obnoxious, but his stupidity in trying to prove how diesels are superior always get him punished every time, and the Fat Controller doesn't know whether he can be trusted or not. The only reason he keeps him, as during 2001, he suffered a horrible accident that got him damaged terribly, and out of the kindness of his heart, decided to give Diesel another chance, but has been keeping a more watchful eye to make sure he behaves himself. Diesel may have a bit of kindness & responsibility in that oily heart of his somewhere, but it will take a while until the day his true colors will finally come to light.
-Artist’s Commentary: This is of course the first villain and first diesel locomotive in my series that I have uploaded, as lets face it, we do need a villain like Diesel in this series. Though in some of the other fan made series I’ve seen, Diesel will in fact develop over the course, so yes, there will be a story arc on this character, especially since Diesel in the current series, while it was nice that he had his old personality back, he started to become an obnoxious Kindergarten bully that like all the other characters, they exaggerated on his personality, to the point you are left infuriated, and you just want to stop watching! But Diesel isn’t just the first, as I not only have the villains in the actual series, but also, fan made villains, if you read my descriptions in each promo, overtime, I will introduce them, but I need to draw them very soon to! And that also goes for why Diesel has been added in the friends section of each bio! As spoiler warning, he will redeem himself eventually, but that’s all I’m gonna say.
As for the drawing, I also did use Diesel’s outlines for any other other Class 08 characters like ‘Arry, Bert, Paxton, the Splodge pair, etc. I also really enjoy how I did the face to, just to make look all that creepy
Diesel is definitely one of those villains I enjoy out there, and I do say villain, as the way Awdry writes them as characters, feels antagonistic enough just for the Thomas franchise to have villains. He is also in tie with BoCo for my favorite diesel character in the series. I like Diesel’s design, and how antagonistic he was back then, not like in the CGI series, but in classic series, they got him right. But as far as my series goes, will go more into Diesel’s character, and how he will develop. I hope you all enjoy, and for the time being, I will be uploading more promos for the diesel characters, and you’ll see who very soon.

Sodor would probably be boring to say the least.
