This was supposed to be a mix of Initial D and Redline but I think the Redline part got completely lost so whatever.

I really like cars and things about cars, but I've always avoided drawing cars since they're hard. But now under my new policy of trying not to give a shit I decided it would be worth a shot. It was still harder than I thought but I did finish it, at least (quality is irrelevant).

I've always been ashamed of how much of a weeaboo I am, which probably contributed to my whole "don't show anyone anything" deal. It wasn't always this way, but some time ago I started to hate drawing things that I liked because I realized what I liked was embarrassing shit meant for little Asian girls. Now though, I don't know. I'm still not going to show anyone else except on DA, but maybe I could cut myself a little slack.

That brings me to my next point, actually. I was worried about sticking those sound effects in because it's Japanese (no idea what it says though, which is worse now that I think about it), but it made me think about sound effects in general, or at least why comics use them. They fill up a lot of empty space, and the right sounds can actually work really well. I mean, hell, I can't even imagine a page from Initial D without all those sketchy "D's" floating everywhere. Just something else to ponder on.
