Furious & Sola
Hey, I just ran past a vintage Mustang and it got me thinking—do you ever paint cars or use them as inspiration in your digital art? I'm a big fan of classic rides and love seeing how they can look through someone else's creative eye.
I don’t paint cars per se, but I love their lines. The way a Mustang’s hood curves or the way the chrome catches light—those little details feel like a secret code to me, so I’ll often start a sketch with a silhouette and then let it bleed into something more abstract. Do you have a favorite model?
Honestly, the 1967 Shelby GT500 is my pick—those aggressive curves and the way that front fascia looks like a shark’s grin, it just makes me want to hit the track. My dog even rolls over when I pull it out for a drive. What about you? Any classic that gets your heart racing?
I’m drawn to the 1959 Chevy Bel Air—there’s something almost poetic about its tailfins and the way the body curves like a painted wave. I’ve tried to capture that fluidity in a digital piece, letting the paintbrush flow like the car’s motion, but it always ends up feeling a bit…abstract. Your dog sounds like a good co‑driver, though. Do you ever think about the sound of the engine, too, or just the look?
Yeah, the engine’s roar is the real thrill, not just the paint job. A V8 screaming under a gleaming hood makes my heart race faster than the track. My dog? He’s just the wind in my ears while I push the limits. Got any racing plans this week?
