Scroll to see the concept car sketch I came across from the archives of 2010 - decided to try a render with AI keeping true to the original, because if I may say so myself, the lines and proportions of the car are rather interesting and hold up well to this day and age too. Sure, the sketch is a lil' rough around the edges since it was from way back when, but I'm pretty pleased with how it would look if it came to life.

Comment 'Yes' if you'd add this to your diecast collection and help me get Hot Wheels listening, 'cause getting work from this iconic brand was always a dream gig.

Have always wanted to see what this supertruck concept by Turtle Torque Design would look like in the real world, and I must say the AI assistance to present this design has truly blown me away.

This bad boy looks right at home on the racetrack, which I'm glad because the original intent of the sketch was to create a high-performance, tire-shredding sport ute, akin to the Holden Maloo that I drooled over during my studies in Australia. Lemme know if you dig this work, y'all! 🐢🏁

Experimented with a sketch of a half-Group B Rally MG Metro-and-half VW Golf Mk 1 going around a corner. Whatch y'all say? I'm super proud of this original concept and new work, so keep swiping till the end 'cause I know you'll dig the surprises! 😇🐢🏁

This project was sitting on the backburner for a bit, but got the pencils and ideas together finally, and here it is - the Suzuki Baleno by Turtle Torque Design.

This concept Baleno has gone through an extensive makeover, including a dual tone paint scheme, widebody styling kit, racing wheels, lowered ride, aero work and more. What do you guys reckon about the result? Daresay it would turn heads if you see something like this in a modified car show...

Thanks to Rohit Benjamin for the help with that render! 😊🐢🏁

Sound up for some insane engine music! What's your money on, Schumi's screaming Ferrari F2004 or the legendary Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak? Spoiler: You're not gonna believe how close this hot lap test was, so don't miss the lap times!!

Wrapped up with this work yesterday, was a five-day binge to complete this commission from , was nice to have a beautiful sunset from the work desk during the process - a pleasure to create this for you, and thanks for the patience waiting, Preeti. I know you really loved your Baleno, and hope this serves as a nice reminder for all your memories with her.

Lovely to see there's still love and appreciation for handdrawn old school artwork in this age of AI-everything - markers, colour pencils and ink were used for this on paper, and your Maruti art will reach you real soon!

A brief BTS look back from the awesome month that was March, for those of you who might have missed my updates - placed 16th against the Top 22 drivers selected from India to compete in the FMSCI-partnered National EGT3 Championship organized by Virtual Racing Hub.

I've learned a lot while competing with the best sim racers in the country, and have found certain areas I need to work hard on, like trail braking for example, because I'm losing precious milliseconds because of my amateur capability with this critical skill. Need to spend more time in practice to familiarize myself with world racetracks as well, since sim racing is extremely intense with very little margin for error, and track knowledge and experience is always a huge boon. Still, pretty pleased to have made it this far at least! 🙂🐢🏁

We live, we learn.
