Many hours invested in turning a photograph into that.

Yes indeed

Actually, this was the original photo I started out with: Untitled

Profound changes! You do great work. Just curious, how long did you put in on it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think a good 4 hours, but not sure as had to bash several different photos together.

Waaaay too much work. xP

It looks so good!

Thanks. Though so far the initial idea sadly backfired completely.

I just meant to say that it has a nice presentation. It may not give too much but it does introduce a central character to spark the curiosity of the public. I've been making short comments recently so I've been having trouble making an in depth discussion lately.

Ah, well thank you. Sadly it didn't help much on the fanfic itself though as it's still the same as it was before I uploaded the promotion. :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh well. Everyone makes mistakes. However, if you're planning another story, you can promote that in advance before you upload the actual story.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is no such thing as another story, this is an ongoing story of hopefully well over 20 chapters.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, think of it this way, you've uploaded on fifth of your story so far. There's still time to promote the story before it's complete. At this point, you've introduced Sandy. You've got a few other OCs introduced in the story. You can introduce them as well. Just because you made a promotion in the middle of your work doesn't mean it won't attract an audience. Many older movies are still advertised a schedule when they air on TV for certain channels. You didn't think they won't say anything because the films aren't fresh and new?

Well I already introduced 4 of my OCs in the story so far, but most new ones will be in chapter 7 or 8 and they will rather be one offs than anything regular. Then there are the OCs only present in Sandy's past, aka the other fanfic I planned to write, but didn't get down to do yet as there's a whole bunch of history of the 306 missing in books and all.

What I meant to say is introduce some other major OCs via promotion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's the main problem, I've not drawn out any of those yet. Well at least I don't have any models to take photos of and such to make those pics.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you know where they're available?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are no models for some of the OCs I have.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ever think of drawing them instead?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeh, but then again I don't have the time to do that with all of them. Not even for the main ones.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You don't have to draw them all. Only the ones that are important.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So basically 6 or 7...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Doesn't seem so bad now, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yes, it is given I hardly got time to draw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's nothing you need to be sorry for. It's just that time is hard to find for me lately, as is creativity. And for the time I would probably invest in the pictures it wouldn't be worth it one bit as seen with this one. It was the worst backfire idea ever, and I already predicted it before I even started work on that picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just feel sorry that you don't have the time for it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's no use drawing them anyways as the picture, as predicted drew the attention away once again. So more will do that even more. Besides, why should I put so much hand drawn effort into pictures that are just for promotion cause my hand drawn stuff is drawing the attention in, but despite the description doesn't so anything to promote the story.
So basically same story, different picture if I were to make any more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But you've provided links to the story. How is that not drawing attention?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cause people are dumb and/or are too lazy to read.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Drat. And here I adopted the belief that the audience is smarter than they lead on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not in this fandom I learned. it consists of at least 90% idiots it seems. x.x
And now with this it only proves my point. Especially after I updated the description to make people curious.

Well I'll be an LB&SCR E2 class.

The literal dumbest thing out there. All those E2 recolours, they are everywhere. <.>

At least I tried to look for an American model. You have no idea how rare a side tank engine is in the states.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Either tender engines or saddle tanks, yes there are loads of those, but god knows why actually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess it just depends on the demand and performance. The side tank I found once worked in a quarry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I heard, the demand bit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uh-huh. I suppose you can say I wanted to Americanize Thomas with actual local equipment to be authentic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well if it looks different than his original base and is "unrecognizable".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
May I ask what defines "unrecognizable"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alter it as much as it's not to be recognized as E2 anymore.
