Friday's update is now sketched and should be getting a bit of colour today.  I'll tell you I picked one of the American candidates, but I shan't tell you which one until Friday.  The suggestions so far are proving another tough one to choose between because it features 2 personal favourite cars and 2 that would be really interesting to draw... we'll have to see what else is suggested between now and Friday.

[vulgalour]

The winner of the last round was this, a 1938 Lincoln Zephyr convertible.  I couldn't find a reference for it in this body type, from this angle and in this colour so ended up using half a dozen reference images to put it together how I wanted it.  End result is very satisfying, even if the scanner did ignore some of the yellow coachwork.

 

Suggestions for the 17th of April are as follows, I'll pick one:

> Bunny Buick (my eyes!)

> White Metro

> Tatra 603

> Gaz Volga

> Singer 9 Bantam

> Ssangyong Rhodius

 

Suggestions for Friday the 24th April are now being taken.

Beautiful picture as per usual vulg

cheers

[purplebargeken]

Very, very nice mate.

 

How about a 1969 Ford Corsair 2000E in gold with a black vinyl roof (just like my Dad's) or a 1973 Mk 3 Ford Cortina 1600XL (4 door) in Daytona Yellow with a black roof (XAK 363L) (was my Dad's).

[vulgalour]

Two top quality suggestions there, that kicks the next round off nicely.

 

> Ford Corsair 2000E, gold with black vinyl roof

> Ford Cortina 1600XL, yellow with black roof

 

 

If you want those cars specifically drawing for yourself I am currently open for commissions.

Like the Zephyr- reminded me of an episode of Fast-n-Loud.

Today I finished my selection from the options suggested and my experiment with a new idea has turned out acceptably well.  I'll be updating you with that on Friday.

 

In the meantime, keep those suggestions coming in.

[vulgalour]

From the previous round my favourite had been the Tatra 603, it's one of my favourite bits of design and a car I'd love to have a drive of some day.  The Singer was another strong contender, pre-war cars are quite enjoyable to draw.  However, this idea for another of the suggestions came out of nowhere so I decided to run with the white Metro instead.  Something very different to what I normally do and a style I hope to explore a bit further.

 

 

Next Friday will either be a Corsair or a Cortina, as those were the only suggestions I got.

 

Open for a new lot of suggestions now, so hit me with your best shots.

Cracking selection so far guys, well done for making it difficult!  I've just finished sketching the Ford for Friday's update which I'm pleased with so far.  Strong contenders in this round have to be the Racoon, the SAABS, the Avantime and the Vehicross so I've got plenty of time to figure out what I'm drawing.  Going to be an interesting one whatever I go for.

[sloth]

have you ever done a triumph 2500s? in mimosa yellow..... mmmmm

What about an early two tone Spacecruiser?

Lovely, lovely car, but I have a real passion for the 900

[urpert]

Wow, the Alpine one is excellent.

[MarvinsMom]

So many strong contenders, searching for suitable reference (and in some cases wtf it is, Isuzu Nagisa I'm looking at you) hasn't made things any easier. It is highlighting how many cars I really like, the Audi 100, Avantime, SAAB 99, mimosa yellow Triumph and early Spacecruiser all rank very highly on my wantometer.

Ekranoplan (not really a car, but not really a boat or plane either).

The next piece is going to be very interesting as I've not only got to choose a vehicle from the list I've got to figure out what on earth some of the suggestions actually are, it's like reading a foreign language this time around!  Good stuff.

 

From the last round it was either going to be a Cortina or a Corsair and I chose....

 

 

Because I love Corsairs.  The nearest I've come to owning one was buying a pair of rear light clusters.

 

 

 

 

Remember, keep those suggestions coming in for stuff you'd like to see me create.  From this point on, commercials and public transport suggestions are welcome as well as the usual car stuff.

[purplebargeken]

That looks pretty darn impressive!

[eddyramrod]

That Corsair is lush! 

 

 

Mine was about the same blue as Trigger's Cortina, TKC 562G    It's been dead over 30 years now.

[vulgalour]

 

It's Elly, Dollywobbler's 2CV.  None of us like putting our old cars away, especially if we don't know when they're going to be coming out to play again and I thought this tiny postcard picture would bring a bit of cheer to the Seabrook household.  The original is in a plain unfinished wooden frame which seemed fitting.  The original is quite tiny, it fits in your hand.

[dollywobbler]

Indeed, it has brought cheer beyond its dinky dimensions.

[vulgalour]

I'm sat here with too many reference pictures and unable to choose between the shortlist.  Even rolling a die results in me being unhappy having to choose.  You made this round far too difficult, pick things I don't like next time
