Ace's 1975 Ranchero

Forgot to upload this like a month ago @_@ (Also I'm half asleep so I apologize if this description seems a little meeeeeeh.)

This little beauty belongs to another one of my characters, Ace Slade. I don't want to go to much into his back story because I want to save it for when I actually finish his redesign (I haven't drawn him in at least 5 years.) But I will say that Ace is the Junker of Pack Mentality. He's wrecked more cars than any other member. Except this one.

Ace loves this 75' Ranchero he styled after the Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino more than any other car he's had. Some of the other members tease him for "babying" it a little to much, but when push comes to shove Ace isn't afraid to stick the Ranchero up your tail pipe.

There's only one car he loves more which is a brown 1967 Mustang Fastback up on blocks at the back of the Pack Mentality shop. The car is severely beaten and full of bullet holes, he keeps "Betty" as a reminder of who he used to be.

But back to the Ranchero-

Originally it sported a more modest Ford 250 L6 with a 3-speed but Ace converted it to a 351 Cleveland with 4-speed which he yanked out of "Betty" (Ace blew "Betty's" 289 V8 and threw in a 351 he bought from a yard).

Roll bars were added more for style than safety.

Custom beaded Slot Mags make Ace's wheels stand out just a little more than your average Mags.

Koraline's 1969 Charger R/T


Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. Decided to work on something for myself rather than commissions and trades (I've been having a real problem with art block when it comes to poses... >_<)

For those of you who haven't seen the other vehicles I've done so far the story is I decided I'd do all my characters and their cars. I'm doing the cars first and the characters later.

So here we have the side profile of Koraline's 1969 Dodge Charger R/T packing a blown 426 Hemi.

Unlike Korevus' car, Koraline's Charger is loud and aggressive, exactly the opposite of herself. If you don't hear her coming you'll definitely see her with her metallic plum crazy and white paint job, racing decals and flame spitting side exhaust, factory spoiler, hood pins, custom wheels and removable bull bar (not pictured) she looks mean just at a stand still.

Koraline loves her Charger and modeled it specifically to be an attention getter. While Korevus wanted his Challenger to be understated Koraline wanted her Charger to be the exact opposite. As someone who is shy and worrisome she felt a heavy hitter of a car would give her the confidence boost she needed.

Chrysalis Camaro

Took a break from studying and decided to vector the design for my Camaro instead of working on Koraline's Charger.

I can't wait til I finish building this baby.

Korevus' 1970 Challenger R/T (Clean and Dirty)



It's amazing what you get done during lectures and in between studying.

Decided I'd do all the cars first and add the characters in later because I'm having so much fun throwing all my ideas for the cars onto the canvas after all the years in my head.

So here we have the side profile of Korevus' 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T packing a blown 426 Hemi.

You'd never know what this car was really capable of if you rolled up on it, you'd think it was a stock 70' R/T packing a stock 426 Hemi and that's just what Korevus wants. But underneath the beautiful contours of the R/T hood lies the modified beast of an engine ready to melt the tires on take off.

I did a clean and a dirty version because in most of the stories I've come up with (which naturally I haven't put to paper. UGH!) the Challenger is constantly dirty due to Korevus' love for leaving the pavement. But his baby always gets a bath when she gets back to her bay at the Pack Mentality Garage.

Leader of The Pack Custom Chopper


I've been so busy with writing reports and studying for my finals in 2 weeks that I have hardly had any time to have a crack at my commissions or trades.

But I caught a really bad cold the past couple days and just needed to do something to relax my head.

So I did a total over haul of the Leader of the Pack Chopper (http://thelastnoteoffreedom.blogspot.ca/2012/08/vector-designs.html)

And I actually finished it this time ^_^

The old school in me really really didn't want to run a front fender.

Bonus points if you know what car it was based on.

Skeletal-K9 Battle-Axe

Here's a Deviant Art link since Blogger seems to not want to show it at the proper size. http://skeletal-k9.deviantart.com/#/d5kj6vj




Finally got around to finishing these. The many different schemes of Korevus and Koraline's Skeletal-K9 Battle-Axe.

Inspired by everything Glam Rock. and I'm a sucker for Zebra patterns.

More information can be found on my original design vector here: http://thelastnoteoffreedom.blogspot.ca/2012/08/vector-designs.html
