Thank you!
I've been looking for your art as it appears on VCL -- I feel very complemented.
As you well know, it's only majik tricks. 8)
If your characters ever want to play in some 30s tiki retro, there's an archive waiting at the Spontoon Island website.

Thank you. I've been cartooning as a hobby for a long time. 8p :)
I looked at your gallery: You did an overhead view of 3 furs on a couch and the couch was a real part of the scene. It looked real, like it could bounce. That shows me you've got the same skills of taking visual parts and assembling them together.

Thank you. There's nothing wrong with drawing what you want to draw, especially if you are sharing the drawing you are mostly drawing for yourself.
The machinery interest comes from thinking of the machines as characters (especially from old animation), and doing caricatures of the real thing. I think that most machines have the structural equivalent of bones and joints... the bits like axles and wheels, and frame, that have relationships of distance and connections and range-of-movement. I never worked on cars that much, but put model kits together as a teenager. I'd think that a person that worked on their own vehicle would have an understanding of the distribution of weight, movement, and attachment. We can use that feeling of imagining weight & movement in cartooning caricature "snapshot' cartoons of people. It's something we can learn if we need it.
I also certainly use reference photos from the internet and even toy autos.... it's a way of seeing how close my imagination comes to a visual reality! (And checking on which details to leave on or to leave out!

It took me years to switch my interest from war machinery to commercial travel. However, reading about Camperdown sinking Victoria is endlessly fascinating. The only known vertical shipwreck ever, this could be recovered and should be. What a story! And I agree with you about regarding machinery as sentient, I have done that ever since I have beaten on my first car for being a jerk! ( and this was pre Fawltey Towers)!
