Description
A Halloween design for the TUBE SITE I contribute to.Traditional drawing, digital paint and color.
It reminds me of some of the old 60s model car kits that had a spooky theme, like the Li'l Coffin.

I would have totally built THIS as a model kit when I was a kid

Yeah, cars today all look like electric razors.

I stole it. Can't remember where, but I stole it.
BTW, sorry I didn't get around to your JOURNAL. I will do it soon.

Hey man, you don't need to apologize! I have never ONCE gotten angry at someone for plugging my stuff. And I can't think of a situation when I would.

Neat! For the past few years( in my area )a store called the "Halloween Outlet" has had a Stephen King type drive around an old Caddy hearse, for the entire month of October. They've recently added on two PT Cruisers done up as giant pumpkins...more or less. I lost the old pics a while back

If I ever get my car out of the shop, I can go prowl around for new pics

So far...so bad

Because more people LIKE '38 Plymouths.

Maybe...I'm partial to '47-53 Buicks but that '59 Caddy you drew is tops!

Why thank you very much. If I could drive any car I wanted, and not have to worry about gas prices and maintenance, it might be an old Caddy like that. Until then it an old Ford Focus hatchback with a dented door. That's my sweet ride...sweet as it's going to get anyway.

I was trying to get some buying info on the Electric Focus...but then...no RL work ended that idea
I think I have pics of a Caddy similar, up on my other page, but I'll take a '49 Buick Riviera convertible, please
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmmm, not sure what a '49 Riv even looks like...I'm rather fond of the early to mid-60s Rivieras. I'm not quite ready for an electric car just yet.

I only have a scale model of one. The only one I've ever actually seen, was tucked away in a car dealer's back warehouse
As far as electric goes, the tech has been round over a hundred years...but then someone had to go and invent that thing called an "infernal combustion engine"

This is great! It reminded me that, when I was a kid, the undertaker in my home town was a rail-thin old gentleman who always wore a black suit and never smiled. He had a raspy cough and his name was Mr. Stiff (Fred Stiff, actually). They were, in fact, quite a large family and many of them are buried in the old cemetery up on the hill, so it's not unusual to see weathered headstones that say "STIFF" on them. The town baker was also called Baker and I believe the barber was "Nick" something-or-other.
I am not making any of this up.

Wow! That sounds like something out of the old CRACKED magazine before it got killed by some guy. Was the town proctologist named Doc Butz? Gravestones with STIFF on them! That is hilarious! In my town, we have a dentist named Dr. Fang! Somewhere there is a gynecologist named Dr. Cunz

Ha, ha. Who was that bastard that killed CRACKED anyway?! We did have a "Doctor Beaglehole" in a nearby city but he was just a regular doctor and not a veterinary proctologist, unfortunately. There was also a local politician named "Dick Proctor" and we always said if he became a urologist he could be "Dick Proctor, Prick Doctor" . . .
I guess being an artist named "Huw" is kind of along the same lines as being a mortician named "Stiff", when you think about it. Maybe that's why so many people seem to want to spell it "Hue"!

I can't remember who killed CRACKED...some son of a bitch.
Dick Proctor! I love it! People with names like that...are their parents THAT naive? I heard that vrecently in Indiana(a state in the USA)some politician tried to get a new government building named after another past famous politician, by the name of Harry Baals! Yes, pronounced like BALLS.

I read about that "Harry Baals" building. You know, this may be one of the reasons magazines like "CRACKED died; you can't make up stuff that's as funny as real life! For example, I remember there was some great writing in National Lampoon back in the '70s but the "True Facts" section was the only thing that ever had me absolutely rolling on the floor.
Speaking of building names, in Saskatoon, where I now live, there is actually a very sturdy stone building called "The Sturdy Stone Centre" but from what I've heard its name is in honour of a Mr. Sturdy and a Mr. Stone and has absolutely nothing to do with its construction!
These crazy name are like urban legends; I don't realize how many I know until I start talking about 'em!

I can't beat the Sturdy Stone Center.

The Harry Baals Arena would have done it but its almost better that it was voted down since all the headline said things like, "City Councillors Scratch Harry Baals".

I wonder what Harrys' middle name was...perhaps "Saltie"?

Thank you. It would be fun to see this as a REAL custom auto for Halloween parades and the like...are there Halloween parades?

Your welcome. Never know, this world sure is odd.

There was a Saturday morning cartoon back in the late 60s called the WACKY RACES. It involved about a dozen different 'wacky' race cars and drivers who would race each other every week. And every week a different car and driver would win. There was also an unscrupulous driver named Dick Dastardly who would always try to cheat to win, but he never did. Typical formulaic Hannah Barbera cartoon. Over in England, a group of car enthusiast have built almost every car from the WR, and they do parades and car events. These crazy cars had to be completely custom built! I don't know how much money was spent on them but they are quite well done.

Nice, I can only imagine millions were spent to make them.

Well, I doubt that much...but still plenty.

I really love the organic shapes for this, instead of perfectly geometrical ones. I'm also really enjoying the inks on this a whole lot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks very much. The organicness was my main motivation here. The "INKS" are but pencil linework. It's mostly digital paint.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow! Then you really did a great job making those pencils look like ink!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do it all the time. I prefer to 'ink' with a pencil. I have more control over it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting... I know that I'm definitely more confident in my ink lines than I am my pencils.

Ink is so permanent...I do INK, but I usually go with pencil.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that's why I enjoy ink so much! It's permanent, so I just feel like I need to jump right into it. I feel like I do my best work when I'm forced to just GO! If I think about it too much, I feel like it looks crappy, and lifeless. I totally get that everyone has their own thing. There's no right and wrong way of doing something, as long as it looks good!
