The theme for this month:

CARS CAR


Inspiration image by PIXAR

So here's the idea this month: draw yourself as a car from PIXAR's CARS.

More inspiration here .

2D and 3D accepted, digital and not, finished or sketched. Feel free to cross-post images into other relevant threads, and to post older images that fit the theme. The more the better.

Couldn't get myself into the cars deal, but I'm excited to see the october theme love the PETA car samhell, that looks like it was fun!

@Sampster: Thanks! Though I have to give a lot of the credit to my wife, she suggested the Hippie look for the car.

@Sumaleth: Not sure if this has been said out loud enough, but thank you for these monthly themes. They have been a lot of fun, entertaining, educational and just pure awesome.

As a side note it would be interesting to see if the creative energy of Sijun could be somehow harnessed for a commercial project. As an example from the top of my head, the speedpainting threads alone could produce a lot of unique stories and content for an artbook.

Thanks to samhell for saving another thread.

I'm thinking that, with this result and past duds, that themes involving creativity are a bad idea. Maybe they feel too much like homework.

You are welcome Sumaleth and I so would have loved to do more ( a lamborghini Countach & the A-team Van were in my thoughts), but I'm sure as it was with many others, September was a ridiculously busy month.

*sobs a little from the memories of work related stress *

Maybe it is more of a question of willingness to post (meaning I see mostly familiar names on each thread) and finding the time to participate? It might be that I am oversimplifying the whole case, but I am a scandinavian blonde after all, so my thought patterns are not that complex.

*cough*

But in any case, I personally find the monthly challenges to be a very interesting way to test my creativity and professionalism. I like to think about them as illustration assignments and try to perform accordingly. Just the level of involvement varies from theme to theme, well and of course the available time.
