It’s definitely a cool image! I’m not sure it meets the brief though - assuming I’ve interpreted it correctly. 🤔 > [@Monthly Art Challenge – July 2025 – Cool Rides](https://krita-artists.org/t/monthly-art-challenge-july-2025-cool-rides/128167/1): > > Let the race begin! But first, you’ll need a race car: four wheels, an engine and a lot of creativity! Design a vehicle, whether it’s realistic, cartoonish, futuristic, steampunk or completely mad, the main thing is that it goes fast! ![:dashing_away:](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdt6l8ecbx7GxmEsSbpVRdXkEWvCRA44adT7JZRj6FdSArsJ1WYXWQ5rJgDHOcQTE2SCrW5urZca2Z4QKyeAeHwRLYAxSzuQzr4VBBbxhbM1phd1NsO2veXPq8FdODcW9t9-1Ap?key=nxemhweyZeysIc76ATGtJg ":dashing\_away:") The key point for me is ‘design a vehicle’ which implies creating something from imagination rather than illustrating a real car. There’s no reason you can’t reference real cars for inspiration though (a concept artist usually would). I once used a vintage racing car as the basis for a racing droid design for a contest (think it might have been a Shelby Cobra! 🤤). Anyway - I didn’t set the theme so better ask @Katamaheen for the correct interpretation! --- _[View the full topic](https://krita-artists.org/t/monthly-art-challenge-wips-and-discussion-thread-july-2025/128168)._
