Wildcard Wednesday : What Could Have Been...Thomas The Tank Engine Photoshop Edits

As some of you may know, on Twitter I’ve been building up a thread of Thomas The Tank Engine Edits so I just thought I’d make a full video of them all to share them on a wider base.

*_IMPORTANT NOTE : Please read before commenting_*
Below I have addressed some commonly raised points in regarding this video
Point : “The video starts at “X:XX”
Response : Any comments along these lines will be removed. I’m sure some of you think you are being helpful or are annoyed by all the text at the beginning but it’s important information to me the creator of these edits and so I don’t appreciate people telling others to skip it.
Point : "What did you use to make these and/or where can I get it?"
Response : I made these in Adobe Photoshop (it literally says that in the video title) and if you don't already known Photoshop is a proper professional photo editing suite for a desktop computers/laptops, so if you were hoping to be able to do edits like this on a phone/tablet app then I'm afraid I can't help you.
Point : "The watermark is annoying/obscuring the images"
Response : Firstly the watermark is set at 5% visibility so the images are still perfectly visible underneath, & secondly the whole point of the watermark was because initially when I made these people began reposting them as their own work...so if you want to blame anyone for the watermark then blame the people who like to take credit for others work
Point : “(insert point here) is wrong/incorrect”
Response : Firstly please pay careful attention to the captions, often I address that point in them, and secondly these are just fun edits, they are not intended to be 100% accurate to either the RWS, TV series or their real life counterparts
Point : Gordon Goes Foreign was meant to be in Series 2 not Series 3
Response : This was a typing mistake I didn't notice until after uploading, I am aware it was meant for Series 2.
Point : Can I repost these?
Response : Short answer, no
Longer answer : since this video has been getting some attention recently, and subsequently I have come across one or two people/places reposting the video without my permission.
If you want to post a link to the video *HERE* on *MY* channel then by all means do as long as you credit me, however if you re-upload the video either as it is or re-edit it, or upload any of my edits anywhere else then you are doing so without my permission and I will submit a request for them to be removed, which could lead to copyright strikes on your account or even being banned for whatever platform you post it.

[@gachaking_5549]

CaptainJimiPie I wanna ask what app did you use and can it be used on iPad/ IPhone?

[@CaptainJimiPie]

I used Adobe Photoshop for it, which is a proper full image editing suite on a desktop/laptop, so it's not available on mobile devices

[@CaptainJimiPie]

Because, one thing I've learnt about the Thomas community, is at times they love to pick up on ANY little inaccuracy

[@jacobnelson3953]

CaptainJimiPie, you are amazing! these edits you've made are SO WELL DONE! everything was very neatly done, many designs you made just blew me away, and I enjoyed every second of this video. Also I like how you addressed many problems you had right off the bat, and made this video truly yours. Your talent is unfathomably high, and I would LOVE to see more of these edits my friend! I like how you added in the accents of the cgi characters into some edits, and I like how you put your own spin on some of them. Very well done.
10/10, would watch again. :D

[@CaptainJimiPie]

Thanks!

[@steam-powered-cyborg]

I've always loved your edits. There is a lovely amount of detail put into these. I especially love the RWS style Percy and Culdee edits. All the effort you put into those in particular really paid off in my eyes.

2:21 this one should be thomas in his brown lbsc 108 livery since the model series is different then the CGI version, and it seems fittingly to make thomas realistic to his class in first built livery

[@CaptainJimiPie]

No it shouldn’t.
The whole point of that edit was to emulate the CGI version in the model era, not how a realistic version would have looked in the model era.

I'm trying to appreciate the hard work that went into these edits... but all I'm seeing is the watermarks! :)

[@CaptainJimiPie]

Thanks, and the reason for the watermarks is because when I initially made some of these I saw them being reposted by others who claimed they'd made them...and even now just the other day I saw someone post one WITH the watermark saying just because they changed it around a bit it was their art.
As annoying as the watermarks are they are a necessity to avoid others taking credit for my work

[@UsefulEngine11]

Dude these are golden I'm feeling all these would have been true if that's what would have happened if the series went exactly off The Railway Series and stuff but yeah I love the show the way it already is but it wouldn't cool at least see the characters that were never featured in any stories in the TV serious and since the show is currently in CGI the only RWS characters they brought into the CGI world is Rex Bert Mike and Flying Scotsman even though he was in the model series but only his tenders were seen anyways I absolutely love these I wish you could do more of these in the future

What's your opinion on season 23 or the whole CGI seasons in general?

[@CaptainJimiPie]

To be honest I haven't really watched the series at all, since Series 7, although I have watched all the CGI specials up to Journey Beyond Sodor.
Whilst I'm always going to be more a fan of the classic series and as a model railway builder myself I'll always think the models are better I can appreciate how they have had to move the series along to keep up with the times, so I don't really get the anger of some fans nor do I condone the attitudes some adopt like they've been dealt a great injustice.
But that being said it's a shame that since Mattel acquired it it's become something of a cash cow to them and certainly not what it used to be, and whilst I'm not against it I don't understand the need for all the political correctness/equality in it at a level that younger children won't even notice, let alone understand.

I Really Dont see Why the Flying Scottsman didnt have a Proper Model Series Appearence Cause There was Spare Gordon Models That were used as Scrap Engines. Great Job by the way

[@CaptainJimiPie]

As I said in the video, the Flying Scotsman couldn't be fully made due to budget constraints, and even if they'd used a scrap Gordon, they still would have had to repaint it, build an entire chassis, make a new face, all the motors and mechanisms etc...unfortunately it's just not as simple as "making it" it would still cost money they didn't have.

@@CaptainJimiPie does it cost any thing like £20 - £10?

No, Adobe Photoshop is a proper editing suite so depending on what packages you buy it can set you back several hundred pounds, but is it very complex and professional software.
For example my edits aren't just copy & paste stuff, there's lots of layering, changing contrast tones, shadowing and ALOT more, it's not something that can really be done in MS Paint

I didn't recolour him, it's likely just the lighting in the base image making him look off-colour

[@Cybusmaster92]

I really like the RWS designs you incorporated here:
* Percy - Looks more visually appealing.
* Toby - The blue sideplates stand out really well against the chocolate brown wood.
* Daisy, BoCo, Bear & Spamcan - To save time, I'll voice the same opinion for all 4. Love 'em. I don't mind not having the grey faces. Makes them more special. I think I prefer BoCo with half green/ half yellow face.
* Culdee - How has the Mountain Railway not been done in CGI yet? They did the Small Railway. No excuses!
* The narrow gauge engines - Fantastic! It always bugged me in the episode 'Trucks', where the Slate Trucks attack Peter Sam thinking he was Sir Handel. Morons! They're different colours! In the book, it makes sense with them all being red.

[@CaptainJimiPie]

Thanks :)

[@Cybusmaster92]

@@CaptainJimiPie Looking at Mallard, with the face being Matt Black, it's a bit hard to make out the details. Maybe if it has a more shiny gloss look, it would show up better.
That's not to say I'm slamming your skill, I imagine it was hard enough just doing the face in Matt Black, let alone trying in Gloss.
I don't think I've ever seen a J94 in the TV Series. I wonder why. Maybe they didn't want too many 0-6-0 tank engines. They have:
Thomas (Obviously)
Duck
Stepney
Rosie
Stanley
Billy (One Off)
Charlie
Porter
Hong-Mei

[@CaptainJimiPie]

No worries, I did try several different way of trying to make it show up the detailing but it was either a case of having it lighter to show the face but not matching the rest of the smoke box or darker to match but not so much clear detail
