"Like peas in a pod,

alone or together you'll find

-Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer: "Two of a Kind"
Introducing myself and my fictional nameless (for now, any suggestions?) car companion, model Škoda Octavia Facelift, year 2008. He's been shown before, but it was a sketch I decided not to finish. I will be showing his character and personality in later pictures. We're both slightly not right in the head, so this should be a fun ride.

Octavia seems like a reasonable name... or Octavius if you want a male.
I would rather not base the name off of the model name. Admittedly I'm picky.
Expecially the CARS movies have spurred a GIANT ammount of them.
It sorta feels like you walked across the beach to the water and managed to miss stepping on a grain of sand! :D
You might need to check your friend's camber ... it seems his wheel is sticking out a bit and you wouldn't want him towed off the road!
Someone from our neighbor's family owns one, so I get to see him every now and then.
By the way is Škoda in any way related to Mercury? His good looks similar to what's on a Grand Marque.
Seriously though, what a freaking adorable car, his smile, those loving eyes, even the way he holds his tires is cute. I love that outfit you have, you look like a old time greaser. Very nice relaxed natural looking pose you gave yourself, I can actually really see the detail and quality of your finished work. You're probably like me, you can't upload any half-assed work, that's why you haven't uploaded any of those sketches you've shown me. :)
I really do love the shading, especially "Oliver's" interior done completely with shading. I also like how you did his eyes, keeping them looking realistic, making it obvious that his eyes are still hollow boxy headlight housings,
Nice work man. :)
You mean Grand Marquis? I suppose there is some resemblance, but I doubt Škoda is related to Ford's divisions in any way, save for some inspiration.
Thanks, I'm glad you like him. Yeah, I try to make stuff look good. Even those sketches would need at least some cleaning - I may finish the less interesting (to me) ones in black and white shading, so they get at least some artistic treatment.
His eyes went through some evolution. I decided to keep them like this, because it's relatively simple, but expressive. I think they also look more alive with the shading in their center part.
Thanks for the great feedback :)
