Colossus: "It's already the 22nd of March again...and it's my birthday! I got another beautiful dress to wear in the park this year, and a new crown....how lucky I am to have such wonderful friends."
Unveiling Colossus's Project Sparkle outfit for 2024! I love the celestial direction they've gone with it, and the new entrance blew me away! So happy to see the park get some TLC.
Reblogs greatly appreciated!

Admin here with a little announcement!
I've decided I'm going to post general OC art here too instead of just asks! That way you guys get more world building , lore, designs and treats to enjoy.
New post coming soon, but for now, take these. Enjoy!

(ADMIN) Reblogging this because @retrowave-racer did such a wonderful job of my characters! Thank you so much for this amazing commission!
Tumblr media
Sorry for the sudden halt to oc tober posts, I do promise I have a few more entries planned! Working on them slowly but surely…but! Something different today…someone else’s ocs! I got the absolute joy of getting a commission from @tackledkey ! They asked me to draw the idol designs of some of their fabulous Thorpe park characters! I had too much fun with this, trying out some new sketch phase techniques and pushing poses! I hope my pose work has been paying off, the past year I’ve felt my character illustrations look much more dynamic! I had so so much fun with this illustration, I really love getting the chance to draw other’s characters! And these characters and I go way back, I’ve drawn many of them during previous art fights! They’ve grown so much and it’s been a pleasure to bring their most recent designs to life in my style. Thank you again for the commission!!!
If anyone is interested, I’m sort of open! I’m currently doing them on an interest basis I think, if you’d like one contact me with your ideas and I’ll base a price off of that! I can’t wait to create more for you guys!

Happy late 27th anniversary to Xavier!!
Tumblr media
[Image ID: A four panel comic featuring Derren and Xavier.
Panel 1: Xavier stands with his back to the viewer, holding a dark red coat and looking at it curiously. Derren smiles at him and says "Happy birthday, Xavier! So, what do you think?"
Panel 2: Derren looks sheepishly to the side and says "I'm, uh, sorry it's a day late. It took me rather a long time to decide on something I knew you would like. Though of course, you're worth it."
Panel 3: Xavier, blushing, looks back at Derren with sparkly eyes. His speech bubble contains just an ellipsis, and behind him is a sparkly heart gradient with the words "You're worth it" repeating all the way down the frame.
Panel 4: Derren, on the right, looks concerned and asks "Um...is it a good gift, then?" Xavier's expression returns to normal and he says "Hm? Oh, yes, of course." End ID]

Happy birthday to the fair Colossus! 21 years already.
Tumblr media
Colossus: "I couldn't resist putting on my 20 year anniversary ensemble. Even though it's from last year, it's my most treasured birthday gift.....because Inferno, my dearest friend, made it for me. It's her 20th this year, so I shall do something even more special for her!"
[Image ID: A drawing of Colossus. She has her hair down and swept to the right in ringlets, with a large golden sun decoration and blue beads adorning her head. She's dressed in deep blue velvet, embroidered all over in gold with star, sun and moon patterns and Colossus logo shapes. Underneath is a simple white chiton. She also has a sheer dark blue scarf with gold trim going round her arms and a long necklace. She holds her right arm with her left hand and smiles regally at the viewer. End ID]

So many birthdays in March! Happy birthday to Swarm and Stealth, who always celebrate together.
Swarm: "A strawberry cream cake! And it's even decorated with pictures of us on our opening days...."
Stealth: "Call dibs on the strawberries!"
Swarm: "HEY!"
[ID: A digital drawing of a huge, three tier strawberry cream cake decorated with a picture of Swarm and Stealth on their opening days on the second tier. The third tier bears the text "Happy Birthday Swarm + Stealth" written in buttercream. Behind the cake, nothing is visible of Swarm and Stealth but their foreheads and one eye. Swarm, on the left, reaches around to take a strawberry from the cake and Stealth, on the right, is aiming a fork towards a strawberry. Their eyes gleam delightedly with a star in the pupil. end ID]

A very special coaster celebrates his birthday today! Happy birthday, Saw!
Swarm: "I brought you some cake, Saw! It's your favourite - coffee walnut."
Inferno: "Open your gift! There's plenty more where that came from, too! The whole island's pitched together."
Stealth: "We have to sing, we have to sing! 🎶Happy birthdaaaaayy tooooooo youuuuuuuuuuu-"
Saw: "Oh, thank you...you're the best - the best friends anyone could ask for..!"
Image ID:
[Image 1: A digital drawing of Saw. He is turned to the left, hand on his cheek and a shy smile on his face. Behind him is a purple and blue gradient and text reading "Happy Birthday, Saw! 14 - 03 - 23". There is a soft golden light in his hair and eyes. End ID 1]
[Image 2: A simple chibi doodle of Saw receiving gifts from some of his friends. From left to right, Swarm holds a cake dotted with candles and smiles opened mouthed at Saw, who does the BSL sign for "thank you" with a teary smile. Inferno grins with her eyes closed and runs towards him with a present box in her hands, and Stealth follows behind, eyes also shut and mouth open wide in song. They're surrounded by action lines.

(Everyone) What's you guys' favourite drinks?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- The Islanders rely on their favourite beverages to take them through the demanding task of entertaining parkgoers. Some other fun facts:
- Stealth will only drink Coca-Cola out of glass bottles. "The plastic ones just aren't as cool!"
- Colossus also likes bubble tea. Her favourite flavour is vanilla, but it's pretty uncommon in the stores, so she tends to settle for taro. She tried making it herself once, but it ended in disaster. The Lost City folks and her have wonderful tea parties every week!
- Saw is lactose intolerant, but also allergic to soy, so his go-to alternative is oat. In fact, if he can't have oat milk in his coffee for whatever reason, he'd rather just get tea.
- Xavier's drink is a whisky on the rocks with a bit of still lemonade. They're very particular about most things, and also likes to talk to the night bartender. Who knows why Derren's having a coffee at this time of night, though.....
[Image ID:
Image 1: A 4 paneled comic reading from left to right. Panel 1: Nemesis Inferno, a young woman with medium dark skin, orange eyes and brown wavy hair with orange highlights sits at a table, holding a tumbler of lemon iced tea. She rests her chin on one hand with a ponderous expression and says: "That's a good question, actually! I'm drinking lemon tea right now, even though it's out of season, but it's not my favourite. Or maybe it is? Well, I do love a good smoothie, or just juice (though not orange, yeuch) and flavoured water is nice too. I guess there's just so many that it's hard to decide. Maybe I should narrow it down by starting with drinks I don't like. Hmm..."
Panel 2: Stealth, a young Asian man with light-medium skin, bleached white hair with navy tips and dark red eyes wearing a black, white and red racing suit and a trans flag pin thrusts a glass bottle of Coca Cola towards the viewer, winking charismatically. He says: "Nothing quenches my thirst better than the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola!" A small caption at the bottom of the frame reads: "Note. Stealth is not sponsored by Coca-Cola. Please don't sue us."
Panel 3: Swarm, a young dark-skinned black person with black and grey hair braided into a coily ponytail, dark green eyes and dressed in a camo coat and black bulletproof vest, holds a can of Pepsi Max and asks Stealth: "What about Pepsi Max? That's my favourite." Stealth is turning round to give them a thumbs up and says with a friendly smile and eyes closed: "It's good!"
Panel 4: Chibi versions of Stealth and Swarm stand in front of a descending dark purple gradient. Stealth opens the bottle of Coca Cola and says: "but Coca Cola is still way better." Swarm smiles, unconvincingly, and replies: "Uh, yeah. Whatever you say, big guy." End Image 1 ID.
Image 2: a 4 paneled comic reading from left to right.
Panel 1: Colossus, a fat white woman with curly pale teal hair dressed in Ancient Greek attire, holds a fancy china teacup filled with brown tea. She smiles with her eyes closed and says: "A cup of Earl Grey is my favourite, and it's even better when my friends are at the table!" She's surrounded by a pink glow and cartoon flowers. Behind her, far in the distance, stand Quantum, an elderly Sikh man waving at her with a cup of tea in his hand, Zodiac, a red-haired white woman wearing long loose clothes and smiling, Rush, a woman with medium skin and turquoise hair in a grey dress and eating cake, and Vortex, a dark-skinned woman with deep purple hair and a starry dress who's posed and smiling at the camera.
Panel 2: Saw, a pale-skinned white man with messy, curly dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, a thick beard, dark circles under his eyes and wearing a light grey shirt with a rusted metal cage over his shoulders and ribs, is looking at the viewer and signing the BSL for latte, with his index finger to his palm. He says: "Vanilla oat latte. One shot of espresso."
Panel 3: Xavier, a dark-skinned desi masc with curly dark brown hair with lilac highlights, red-blue heterochromia and a plaster over their nose, wearing a black tank top with a light purple X on it and a scuffed black leather jacket, sits at a tabletop with a whiskey on the rocks in front of him and his hands on his chin. They look downhearted, and say: "...And yet things still aren't the same anymore. This whole zombie thing's just....not my style. It was far simpler, well....back in the 90s. Look, I know, it's cringy, the park's evolved way beyond then and everything, but it all made sense. I was x, the cyberpunk secret agent, the biggest draw, cool with the teens, and liked being me, too. And denim doesn't suit me at all. I wish I could decide my theme instead of always having to chop and change at the marketing team's whims, and........ hello? Did you catch all that?"
Panel 4: it's now clear that Xavier is sat in front of the counter of a bar. He looks to the right in annoyance at the bartender, a white person with freckles and a red ponytail in a blue button down shirt, who is not listening to him but serving Derren a coffee. Derren is a medium-skinned, slightly older man with long, brownish-red locs in a ponytail tied with a blue ribbon, dressed in an elegant red coat with silver tasseling, gloves and a stationmaster hat. The bartender says: "Soy milk cappuccino with cocoa powder and a pump of hazelnut?" A small bit of text under their speech bubble adds: "Though I thought this was a bar, not a coffee shop..." Derren grins delightedly with his eyes closed and one finger up, saying "Why thank you! Yes, that's tremendous." End ID.]

Welcome to the Island like No Other!
Thorpe Park is an exhilarating place of thrills, spills and screams, with climates, cuisine, and a language of its own! And not to mention some quirky inhabitants.
Meet the Islanders!
All those in Thorpe Park are proud to call it their home. Sure, Alton Towers may be bigger, better funded and more popular, but they'll soon catch up. In the meantime, the Islanders pour their hearts into making all those who step through the gates feel at home.
And the Zone Guardians stand out from all the rest. Xavier (nowadays called WD), Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth, Saw, Swarm, and Derren Brown's Ghost Train (or just Derren for short!) oversee the Island and make sure everyone's well equipped to delight the guests. But when the sun has set, the queue lines are closed and everyone's gone home, they still find the time to kick back and have fun.
Ask them some questions! They'd love to hear from you.
