More from Skunkworks
This is a rough pencil sketch of the vehicle owned and driven by Leila (the wolverine) from "Caterwaul". Since I have not drawn anything in several months, this pencil sketch is VERY rough. Other vehicles from both Skunkworks and Caterwaul characters will be posted on my Weasyl account at https://www.weasyl.com/profile/skunkworks . I will be using that account for anthro-related artwork, but not necessarily featuring anthro characters themselves. Items such as buildings, uniforms, vehicles and weapons will be posted at that account.
Drawn with no rulers or references. Looks like a little Mopar, Chevy and Ford all thrown together. Time to sketch was about 2 hours, which is 3 times longer than it SHOULD have taken.

This vehicle would be considered vintage. Most vehicles in their world operate on a mix of electric and internal combustion engines. Even the van the group has possesses electric motors for the wheels, although they can fire up the big block and override every known legal limitation placed on road vehicles )such as mandatory dictated speed limits in certain areas, and system overrides that can be utilized by pursuing law enforcement vehicles).
I prefer to use rulers for straight lines and to determine perspective. On concept sketches, such as this one, I rarely bother with rulers as I'm just fleshing out the idea. Oftentimes, this version will undergo another sketch, which will tighten up any inconsistencies and flaws and will usually attempt to correct perspective mistakes (such as the windshield in the picture above).
I have an image in my mind of a car.. pre-war coupe. Big fenders, big hood, big bulgy everything as appropo for the time. Then, an Artist got ahold of it sometime in the 50's or 60's.
It's image stands there. Candy paintjob, Orange-Red. Shiny wheels, windows like gun-slits, a credit-card's width of ground clearance.
I can see it now, I can't remember the original or where it came from, but I still remember it's echo..... because EVERYBODY WITH A HOT-ROD SHOP DOES THE EXACT-SAME-DAMN-THING-TO-EVERY-DAMN-CAR THEY GET THEIR HANDS ON!!one-eleven.

Yeah. Many hot-rodders just clone each other. I lost count at how many times some moron would substitute a "K" for a "C" in a recent hot rod magazine. "Krazy Kool Kustoms" might've been a neat thing to see back in the 1960's, but when every is spelling like that and making their cars look the same, it's time to think up a new fad!
Ah. Well, usually when drawing cars, it's for either a customer or for an art show, so those renditions are based very tightly on actual vehicles. I've got lots of books and magazines with old cars and hot rods in them, which I keep for reference material for jobs like those. But for the "Caterwaul" stuff, I just kinda throw together whatever I think might look decent and run with it, haha!
