Managed to find and archive my old sprites of Chellene & her other friends. These were made back in 2023. Not much has changed to them, besides Evella. And this actually goes to prove that Choden Lambert was actually numbered 70 and not 67. I mis-remembered his number when i brought him back in October 2025. Oh well. Some origin story i planned for these guys & gurls in 2023 (now slightly outdated): This group of engines worked in the city of Dorleen where they mainly stayed close to the city and didn't leave as often. They had some sort of rivalry with Stewart in the past, especially Karter & Evella, who were involved in a racing accident with him in 1979. To prevent Stewart from knowing about their whereabouts, the old controller prevented Stewart from entering Dorleen. In 2023, the new controller, Mr X. allowed Stewart to go to Dorleen, unaware of the fact that Chellene & the others live there. Stewart would soon stumble upon them following an accident with another engine. After some big, BIG beef, Stewart, Chellene & everyone else would soon apologize to each other and soon became friends. This backstory will still happen in Stewart, Plyton & Others (SP&O) & Darwindale Rail Stories (DRS), albeit slightly edited. But in Darwindale Rail Stories, however, only Karter & Evella have some kind of rivalry with Stewart, while the others act friendly towards Stewart. Space/Click
Credits: - Domix (artstyle) - Casey (parts) - Joshua (parts) - Myself (sprites & characters) - Toby Fox (railroad name inspiration) Some fun facts: - I actually came up with these characters following a strange dream shortly before i began making them. Evella was actually the first character i came up with in said dream. - In said dream, they were actually humans. Though i didn't do there humanoid designs until weeks afterwards. They were unfortunately lost, but i would bring back humanoid Evella & Karter in 2025. - In said dream, Evella, for some reason, wore a pacifier and had a small white mask. This is NOT meant to be some kind of [foot]ish crap or anything, but i would leave it on her before i dropped the pacifier thing around 2024. -- I actually planned to have her wear it after her accident in 1979 before it was dropped - Jacob's full name is a reference to fellow female racing driver Jamie Chadwick.
