Why not move to Norway. We have alot if trains between the bog cities. My favorite must be Bergen-oslo. It goes over the mountains. :3

Dont have the money.

Indeed. But where do you live then? ._.

Alaska

Hmmm. Isn't there any trains there, between alaska and the rest of USA?

Not very many anymore. There is the alaskan rail road, they do offer a round trip, Iv never looked into the price. I probably should. It might be nice.

Indeed. You should. I've heard that Alaska is a beautiful place when it cones to nature. And it's best seen with train. :3

If I'm up in Minnesota by the time you do that, and I can...I'd be willing to offer a room if need be.

Awe, My sweet friend. You look so relaxed and at home there with your little one.

I love the detail you have going on, Kind of a Orient Express brillaince to your train. I just love it.

But you do know if you travel like that across the way would be an indigo felaine *giggle*

Hehe, well give me a comfortable roomy space where I can be comfortable, and I will be happy.

Thanks! I was trying to go with the old fashiony style train.

Oh? Want to go traveling with me?

Well you captured what I think trains should look like, Just lovely indeed.

And I have never been on one in my life, I would be more than happy to be your traveling partner. I honestly think the two of us would get along smashing *giggle* >.> and I promise not to play with the dolls to much <.< *sigh* lol

Thank you hun! They used to like that, if I remember right from older pictures.. The big cooshy seats, that I think fold down into beds.

I think we would get along just fine ^^ Just dont touch the dolls face. Hehe.

to be honest I would be so scarey to touch your lovelies at all, I would be to afraid to break them.

I mean Ia m picky about my stuffed animals, So I would understand the dolls.

Hehe, they arent as fragile as most would think. I wouldnt mind letting you hold one. ^^

I can't remember last time I went on a train. But I really want to do it during the winters ^^ 'specially in Norway if I go somewhere north where there's little civilisation, lots of nature and mountains ^-^ A beutiful picture with a magnificent back ground.

That would be a nice vacation, a train trip through the countryside of Norway.

Thank you. ^^

Just know that Oslo is the world's most expensive town @w@" it's in the guinnes world record XD I thank god I lived further south by the coast (Also nice, but very cold during the winter because of the moisture)

Aaaaawww this picture is so beautifull and nicelly colored... You seem to be lost happily in your dreams while enjoying your trip... Héhé I hope that one day you enjoy a trip in the train of your dreams... who knows ... But what I like the most in this picture is seeing you smilling an happy Also I like the shading and the texture of the clothes and the details of your li'l doll.... really cute and well done... Really nice

Thank you! Maybe one day I will.

You're welcome Foxxian

Travels by train are the best... not in Poland though. Our trains lack THE climate ;)

Hehe,świat jest malutki-patrz mój post niżej^^

No to przynajmniej wiemy na czym stoimy :P

Jesli chodzi o polską kolej to "stoimy" rzeczywiście najlepiej oddaje rzeczywistość...stoimy w szczerym polu centralnym

No nieee... czasem troche do przodu...

O ile się lokomotywa nie sfajczy jak kiedy ostatnio na święta jechałem

^^ Id like to go on one some day. I think it would be very enjoyable. Alot better then by plane. x.x

At least you live in a country where trains are punctual and clean,what you can't say about these ones here in Poland
But I love travelling on tracks anyway,if not by train than just by suburban tram

Maybe, I dont know if they are.. The Alaskan Rail Road is supposed to be pretty nice. I might have to see about taking a trip on it.

Lovely picture! Here in Finland can be found in both yes and forest, hill and tundra and winter snow cover is sufficient certainty ...= 3

Thank you!

I know what you mean. I've been a trains a few times thier really relaxing. But one of those train trips....they would be amazing to go.

I reckon you really should look into a train trip in Alaska...i've heard its such an amazing place. But then again, the grass is always greener eh?

I love how alaska looks. It would only be a weekend trip, so I might do it before I leave here.. whenever that is.

good idea. Whenever i go home (which is very rare) i always do tourist stuff that i never did before lol.

I love traveling by train, too. I don't do it that often sadly and not that far, but still I enjoy those trips.
Hope you can go traveling like in your picture soon. I think that might be wonderful ... as is the picture.

Hopefully one I can go. Just decide to do it, and get up and go for a weekend of something.

Trains are fun.
I got on one in Washington and came all the way to California.
16 hour trip of nothing but peace and quiet. Good scenery too.

Its got to be so much better then a plane...x.x

I fucking hate planes.

Iv grown to hate them... x.x.. Im a heavy person.. so they are horribly uncomfortable, and I dont have the money to pay first class.

Aww.

i love this picture, i really do, it shows alot of emotion and you can really get a feel of the atmosphere, really well done,

keep up the great work,
and youl get to go on a train sometime, =]

Thank you ^^

Amazing detail and colour as always, insta-fave

Thanks ^^

I have, its quite fun and a lot cheaper than flying. ^_^ If you ever get the chance I'd say go for it.

I had wanted to work one summer on a train. Didnt get to though.

reminds me of traveling to germany by train for my internship by ICE train
it was snowing outside and it was nice and warm in the train :)

^^ That had to be fun.

There only fun if your going throw lovely country all the way throw.

Awesome drawing though.

I think that depends on the person.. I like to look at most everything. I really enjoyed traveling in my parents motor home when I was little.. just staring out the window.

Thanks ^^

Traveling with a train is quite comfy, but if you have no company it´s just boring. ^^

I think it depends.

Lovely piece as always. ^__^

I live in Southern California and I actually live a couple blocks away from a train station. well, it's a train station/bus station since i use the buses to get to school. I've always wanted to travel by train. It would be so enjoyable. But having someone along with you does make the experience even more enjoyable.

Speaking of traveling, my sister just went up to Alaska to help a friend move a couple of months ago. She loved it, such a beautiful place. I love Alaska and always wanted to travel there. Balto got me interested in Alaska ^__^ and i wonder if the iditarod dog race is still going on. I love to see that firsthand. ^__^

Thanks ^^

The Iditarod Dog race still goes on. Its a yearly tradition that racers take quite seriously. The course isnt exactly the same as the first one, since it would be too dangerous, but its pretty close. Part of it comes right through town now, and right outside my appartment. I can just go out on my balcony and watch as they go by.

Besides it being a beautiful image, traveling really is a nice thing. And I personally like train trips too. Even though it's completely unspecial to most people, it has something unusual to it, which makes it very exciting. Every kind of traveling is sweet. That is why I am doing a job, where I am driving through entire Europe all day =)

Thanks.

travelling is nice, it feels soothing to look at the changin landscape and go in new places^^
Beautiful pic <3

Exactly. ^^
Thanks

How awesome, this looks very comforting. Plus you and Vahn look great!

Thank you! ^^

It really depends on how much it is. But I think I will look into the alaskan rail way, they have a weekend trip down to the coast and back.

This is adorable!

Thanks! ^^

Is that little Vann? o3o

Once again your attention to detail is very much an impressive thing :3

You may very well be one of my favorite artist =D

Yup, thats Vahn. ^^

Thank you!

D: I still has Mr. Dragon here for you~

I just never see you online on MSN to get the address to send him too x.x

I love this piece. It feels so real and so comfortable. I have never only been on a train in the winter once, and only for a short distance. There a scenic railway here in town ^_^, though it mostly runs in the fall for the changing of the leaves. If you ever wanna see it though you would be more then welcome to come visit. (and we can have homemade hot apple cider or hot chocolate, they have both right next to where the train is ^_^. Just thought I'd give you the invite.

Thank you. ^^ Im thinking of just looking at a trip here. If I remember right there is a weekend trip.

I Love trains, and this picture is just full of everything I love about trains.

Im glad you like it. ^^

Hehe, thanks for the advice. =3

Very awesome picture foxxian!

Thanks ^^

Hmm.
Might I suggest taking the Empire Builder journey sometime soon.
The Empire Builder is a special senic rail trip that Amtrak offers. Basically it starts on one coast of the United States and goes to the other, plus it runs along the ocean coasts, effectively making a large U shape across the North American continent.

And quite a nice drawing, I like the feel of the winter weather. =3

Im thinking about taking the alaskan rail road, they offer a weekend trip to the coast and back.

Thanks ^^

Ah, that could be quite a sight to see in and of itself. =3

Sure thing. ^^

You know I've always noticed your art and cant believe this is the 1st one im commenting on, but this just looks amazing to me! I actually love riding on trains (even though NC isnt the best place for em) and flying, and I've been lucky enough to have a friend in europe I go stay with and trains were a big help in our adventures over there! :D I hope you get the chance to go on one, they tend to be really peaceful and beautiful, which is why this art caught my eye so much, its like you took the feelings of it and made an image. Keep up the amazing work! :)

Thank you! Im glad it could remind you of those feelings. ^^ I hope to get to go on one sometime, hopefully I can take the alaskan rail road trip before moving. Would be a nice memory to have.

I hope you get to!

This is really nice. I like the emotion and the feel it gives. :3
Really well done.
I've only been on a train once, i can say it's quite nice. :3

Thanks! ^^ Hopefully I can take a train trip around alaska before moving.

This work is one of your best yet.

Thanks ^^ My style seems to have changed a little in this picture.

That looks very heartwarming ^^

I like it, ^^

Hehe. That is Vahn. He is too small to be Nalin. But thanks. ^^ I tried to stick with decent details.

I love how the trees and the weather outside the train came out, really top notch. You also did great with your expression; sort of a mix of tired, contented, happy, and relaxed.

it looks like a real picture out of the train ... and you looks beautiful
so beautiful coloring and your muzzle is cute ^~^
a special picture... it is fun to view...

That's absolutely gorgeous

the picture and your location made me think of the white pass and yukon, from skagway to carcross. alaska never did have near enough in the way of trains. just the alaska rr and the wp&y. the latter being a somewhat interesting narrow gauge. it used to go a lot further into y.t. canada, when it had more freight bussiness and not just the tourist passenger trains. its been out of and back into bussiness several times and i'm not up to date on its current status. believe it or not, there are places in california that have the have a similar range of weather conditions, and i liven in one once upon a time. two actually. started kindergarten in truckee, and after high school lived for a couple of years on top of donner summit. my dad worked for the railroad most of his life, and i had the good fortune of doing so for about a year of my own.

never been up your way and probably won't, but snow, trains and forests, are three of my favorite things, along with all the other life forms that live in them.

I've done this on the trans-siberian railroad booked a private 1st class cabin it was single-handedly the best things I've ever done in my life.

she's beautiful!!!

Such a gorgeous character
