"James May's Crosley" or "A Fine Car" painting by me. ♥︎

To start the new month of May (it's also my surname hehe) I've got something special for you. Another painting for my friend Zach, who's not only the owner of Jeremy Clarkson's Mitsuoka Le Seyde. With a little help from the Smallest Cog and me he was also able to purchase James's awful Crosley! ^◡^

Three prints of my painting are currently in production, this time measuring 60cm by 75cm. As last time, one's for my mate Zach, one he will give to James in person and the last one I keep for myself. *✦.

This painting took me three months to finish (I don't have much spare time to draw!), I wanted to come up with a funny idea to represent the Crosley as one of the worst vehicles to drive in a Grand Tour special - while still trying to draw a likeable portrait of James! ♡ So I decided to draw a scrap yard full of bad Grand Tour cars. Can you spot them all? Also the yellow number plate comes from the back-up car from Eurocrash, my friend found it at the backseat when he was cleaning the Crosley! So I had to draw it too. The other one was my idea...

I hope you like it! I don't have a big size download yet, but I will repost when I have one.

Close up screenshots, so you can spot some details:

and some "work in progress" photos I've saved while working on that picture:

💗absolutely one of my more niche creations - but if you know you know i guess

Jaguar F-Type

Jaguar F-Type

Jaguar is a prestigious British brand with a distinguished history. It was founded in 1935, when the Coventry-based SS Cars produced the first car called the Jaguar, which bore the official designation SS 2 1/2 Liter.

The zenith of the glory of the Jaguar brand came in the 50s and 60s. And first of all - to sports cars, including the legendary Jaguar E-Type. But over the years, expensive cars from Coventry began to be associated with luxury and comfort, and the former sporting spirit began to sink into oblivion. Over the past 20 years, the British have tried to regain their lost ground, but all these attempts have looked unconvincing.

Detroit was presented with a really strong trump card - the experienced Jaguar F-Type roadster.

The concept roadster's silk coverlet was removed by Chief Designer Ian Callum and Project Chief Designer Keith Helfet. The eyes of two thousand journalists were presented with a silver roadster, which is not similar to any of the current models, but is very reminiscent of the very Jaguar E-Type. Convex wheel arches, massive longitudinal stamping on the hood, elongated teardrop-shaped headlights under a common cap, an oval radiator grille, a noticeably upturned tailgate with round lights - everything is like the Jaguar E-Type model. True, for the sake of modern fashion, the F-Type has shorter front and rear overhangs, and of the chrome decorative elements that were so popular in the 60s, only the exhaust pipes remained.

The F-Type is the smallest Jaguar in the last 40 years: car length - 4115 mm, width - 1792 mm, height - 1090 mm, wheelbase - 2400 mm.

As on the E-Type, the front part of the body (fenders, hood, bumper, radiator grill) is a single structure that folds forward.

The engine compartment is ready to accept the 240 hp AJ-V6 engine. with. from the S-Type sedan and even a 300-horsepower V8 engine from the XJ8 model. Transmission - mechanical or automatic.

The roadster has no roof - not even a soft convertible top. But this is for now.

Me: Hey, it's May, let me do a legacy stat check on my fanfic and see where the numbers are at in total views from each of the websites...

Fanfic - 1439 Archive - 435 Wattpad - 256 Quotev - 60 DeviantArt - 1563 Dreamkle - 156 Webnovel - 5695

Total views: 9,604 *spits out tea*

It hasn't been a year since I started writing this bad boy, LET ALONE, a year since I first published the first story... Y'all... can I just say you're great and fantastic fans, friends, and supporters of the series??? Like, I didn't get the best news yesterday and this....

I've NEVER had something I wrote reach 10,000 views, let alone in a series that has almost a cult-like status. It's always so cool when I post a clip of Big O for a question like, "What's that best fight scene that had you..." etc. and people are like, "WHOA, BIG O! I haven't seen that in forever!" And, it really warms my heart to read those comments and then see people bookmark the tweet to refer back to it. And then to get comments or messages like, "You wrote a fanfic series about Big O?" and then people read it... Y'all are AMAZING! Again, thank you so much for the support. It means a lot. I wonder if I can get to 10,000 views before my Twitter Birthday (I wonder if I can get that many before my 1 year fitness journey). I've posted my linktree as it has all of my profiles in one area. If you haven't checked it out, well, here you go! Y'all, thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It means so much.
