Description So this is another quickie I did. I started this while I was waiting at the shop for my dad's Volt to get a flat tire fixed.  I left this in my school binder, so I ended up finishing it during the brief periods of time just before my classes would start.  Now that my exams are nearly over, expect to find more vehicles and crazy giant monster madness coming very soon! Stay tuned!

Oh I also wanted to add that the labels on the tires say "Clawz."  I started putting this on some of my other drawings. I figured I'm naming a lot of my cars after animals, so why not give them "Clawz."

Think of as an updated version of this vehicle SMA Armadillo Rally Hybrid .  The updated version comes with a lightened chassis, and an upgraded AWD plug-in hybrid system.

Powertrain: 1.5L, v4 Aluminum, Turbo diesel connected to an electric generator used to power four 90hp electric motors connected to the wheels by short drive shafts

Cool perspective! Though, I dont think it entirely lines up. I like the overall design. Maybe a object from behind pointing towards the main object will maybe direct the eye to the main object as well as making some sort of background story for the watcher? Really cool. A loot of detail and soul. Very expressive too^^

I'm so sorry for not responding for such a long time.

Hmmm... that is a very interesting point. You mean like a more direct dust trail or tire tracks or something? I figured the truck would be unlevel with the ground because of all the bumps and stuff throwing it every which way... although doing something to mark its path of travel is a pretty good idea.

Thanks so much for the feedback, and sorry again for the delayed responses.

No problem. Its not like you are obliged to answer me. Right now, I dont have any computer but my phone.

But about that realism thing. I think that will come along. Just keep doing it! The realism will be evolve as you draw. The same for perspective. Just keep doing it! I am no expert myself, but I tend to recognise these changes on my self. Good luck to you and happy drawing!

OK, that one just looks like fun. The long, lean build is a particularly nice touch. Kudos!

Many big thanks bud!  Just trying to practice the more perceptive work and see how to keep a fictional brand up to date.

Thank you very much comrade!!  The design could still use some fine tuning, but it was a nice experiment.
