Description
Conductor of the Magical Railways.An Original Character; I actually posted TWO original concepts in one day?! WHAT? I never do that!
Well, I'm not really tellin' the story other than it involves a magical train and NO it's not the Polar Express. KIND of like that, I guess, but no, not the polar express.
I actually really like this dude. When I was writing the story I was drawing him out and for some stupid reason I couldn't get it out of my head that I wanted him to be scottish. You could probably figure it out.
Anyway, as an homage to that reason, I decided to name him Shankersham (as opposed to Ingersham, like I was planning). That way, he can be referred to as Shanks. If you can figure out who the hell this inspiration is, then good for you, you're a dork like me. *laughs*

You should draw more of him. I really like his face while he's drinking the tea.
