This is a wonderful piece, but what really got my attention was the smoke. I'm in love with it.

You are amazing. 
How exactly do you do it? Do you plot it all out with pencil first, or...? This is just......wow. Wow... I've got to learn how to incorporate pointillism into some of my stuff...

It's kind of sad that there are 15 years old kids who never rode a train. I love my late night trains.

Nice pic! I love the detail on the train, the houses and trees in the landscape of the background! The smoke is great and well textured, I really like the big, two story barn off in the distance!

Lovely, an instant win <3
The details are striking, and the contrast of each smog of smog is fabulous to the point where this actually looks real. The background is also down wonderfully with texture and shadows done accordingly. This can't get any better.
Awesome work ;D

Haha, right as I'm looking at this, I can hear a train in the distance... Anyways, wonderful illustration~! Great detail and concept~
I miss those times, even though I was never a part of them, I'm too young. But from the things I've heard about it, and the amazing stories my father tells me, they sound almost magical.

I really love the smoke, it's amazingly beautiful!
I always get excited when I see a train go by or when I hear them from a distance~

passings of trains still leave me in awe. once a year an old fashioned passenger train like this comes through my town. the townspeople don't think anything of it, but i always go through to see it. trains nowadays aren't as nostalgic though.. i find the graffiti more interesting. i love this work, the smoke especially is whimsical yet realistic, and makes me wish things were still a bit simple.

I still get awed by trains. But I'm a fourteen year old eccentric recluse.
