Wow, that's really cool. I like this one a lot. Good luck on your comic. ^_^

to me it looks like you used a very specific reference for that drawing and followed it closely. If that's the case, that's fine, but also if that's the case-- Will you be able to draw that car in all the angles and situations you need to for a comic strip?

UNNESSESSICTY FACTOR! +10!

i based it off my xmod mustang.

on the other hand, a roof scoop would be only usefal for an MR. not an FR.

it's one of my... "focus of area." I can't really concentrate on one comic, so i work on several at once. so I don't wander off to some other activity.

Actually, the new Mustang qualifies as a FM rather than an FR (think old 80's Quattros minus AWD). The engine is back far enough over the front axle to lable it as such.

No, I ment "Is the comic about drifting?"

FM? i'm pretty sure they're FR since the engine is in the front. front engine-rear wheel drive. i've poopped the hood and looked at one.

haven't heard of FM. MR is when the engine is directly behind the driver.

and about the comic, it's more so touge racing/tarmac rally.

drifting is usually seen in touge racing.

i see where you getting at now.

it's just a subcatagory for FR.

My only observation is that you will have a hard time if the people you draw don't look as good as the cars.

I was thinking the same thing.

That said, good work. Cars are hard.

I hate drawing cars. You did an awesome job on these.

Let me know once your comic is up. My husband will love this.

Oh god. those cars are sexy. All the cars in my comic are cheapo hondas XD (if even recognizable. They're more like oval shaped things with windows and rear-view mirrors)

Keep up the great work.
