My initial take on Starlight Express inspired costumes for a TUGS centered Broadway show! (The left color palette is based off of the more "polished" current day costumes, whilst the right is based off of the more grittier designs of the early productions.)

#this is tugs #stex #starlight express #humanized au #This is actually an old concept from long ago #but I thought it was still cute enough to post! #Might come back to this someday and make more?

Old Starlight Express Merch I Would Sell My First Born Child To Own

#that's it #that's the post #what if we played with the stex cards together #while eating the Electra chocolate #and wearing the hideos human faced train t-shirts #and the awesome vegas stex jackets #while occasionally checking the time #on the starlight express clock #starlight express #stex #musical merch

"Hello?" Rusty calls out, slamming his breaks to a stop, causing his train to jostle a bit behind him. Rusty turns around and apologizes quietly before standing up as tall as he can and calling out to the fellow piece of rolling stock who seemed to be by themself on the rail. Rusty was uncertain of how to proceed. This wasn't just some debris he could pick up and move...this machine could be hurt. He didn't want to travel any further until he was certain they were okay. "Are you alright?" Rusty calls out again, and for good measure, he whistles loudly. The kind of whistle used as an attention getter by little switching engines...he hadn't quite grown out of that habit.

#i'm v sorry if your rusty ended up under the cut it's cuz the full layout looked really rough no matter how i arranged or cropped it :I #too many tiny faces on too big a canvas etc etc made them really tiny and indiscernible #thank you to everyone who allowed me to draw their designssss #this was such a fun project #rusty the steam engine #it took mmmmm maybe 8-10 hours to color total on top of however many hours of sketching and then lining #maybe 15-20 in total #but it was fun and very relaxing actually! i really enjoy working on other people's designs #if you zoom in and check out the actual details i will love you forever and ever #starlight express #stex #stex fanart #starlight express fanart #stex rusty #rusty stex #starex #starex fanart #art or whatever #i'm never drawing this many men again in a row #also i'm fucking sorry if this is the second time i ping you for this post. it's because tumblr sucks ass

Your favourite lord in black,,, as a stex person,,,

YOU, anon, must be after my own heart

anways heres wiggly as a train. train wiggly. wiggly train.

some Thoughts under the cut because im insane <3

for his design i decided to lean into the princey thing he has going on literally just so i could put tassles on his shoulder pads. also so he could keep his crown i like his crown. so i knew from the start i wanted wiggly to be a diesel engine (idk. capitalism is like his thing). My og thought was that all the lib would be engines, in which case wiggly would haul freight. but i liked the idea of all the lib being one train better because then they could all be different parts of a whole :3

FOR the record I think I know what each of the lords would be. if literally anyone cares maybe i'll draw them too

Wiggly: Diesel Engine

Pokey: originally i went with a theater car (dont actually have a theater) for the lols but these are only on freight trains. now im thinking a Lounge car. one that plays music perhaps.

Blinky: Sleeping car (to go with his whole 'don't wake him up' thing he has in nt. also then he could be wearing a sleeping mask. yk)

Tinky: Observation car? hes the one im least sure of but observation fits him i think. if anyone who knows more about trains than me has ideas lmk

Nibbly: Snack Car or Dining Car. obvi.

Ibis paint is SO bad for character studies it's kind of saddening.

Hoping to rewrite the majority of StEx because uhh I want too idk. Might share some of it but first I'm going to do character studies on a LOT of the cast. I'll probably do either Electra or rusty next! I dunno
