Cars 3 McQueen doodles to ease my stress

As someone who's historically been very big into NASCAR and the Cars franchise, and someone who owns diecast, what have your thoughts been on the NASCAR-themed line of Piston Cup diecast, and the paint job they gave Lightning McQueen?

Let's give this a look-see:

My honest opinion? It doesn't feel like it's Ramone's work, which kind of makes me feel Tex (as current owner of the Rusteze racing team) cheaped out on this, haha. Maybe Ramone's docket was full because he was designing for Cruz that week.

Design-wise, there's just something about this that feels heavy, which isn't what you want your race livery to suggest. I think it's that solid black line that's dragging this design down. They've added a yellow bar at the bottom to lighten it up, but there's clean, modern design and then there's "I made this in PowerPoint" design.

Personally, I think NASCAR schemes look best when they're ostentatious. You don't want it to be too busy, which can be an especial issue when it's a digitally printed wrap vs. paint (see: Chase Elliott's 2018 Watkins Glen scheme, though I'm honestly not mad at that one), but this is just basic.

Part of this is the lack of sponsor stickers, though if you're not actively racing in the Piston Cup you can't really help that. But the line weight on the 95 is too thin! You're showcasing a historic number! Look alive! OG LMQ wasn't a Ramone creation either, and was fairly texture-heavy, which might feel dated now, but this just looks bad. Xfinity backrunner bargain scheme bad!

In terms of NASCAR schemes that have stood out this year, Byron's have all looked pretty sharp, imho! And I admire, I guess? Penske's commitment to Ugly Blaney Yellow on Yellow, using a warm yellow for most of the car and including the greenish highlighter Menard's yellow on top of that. Never stop giving us years' worth of Ugly Blaney, Penske. Do I miss M&Ms? YOU BET I DO. But sure, 3CHI in victory lane, we love to see it!!

they’re SO in love u guys

what is your favorite character you have since you were young? can you draw it?

*sobbing* Why is he so hard to drawwwwww

But fr tho- my favorite character from my childhood is Doc Hudson! Pixars Cars was my all time favorite movie growing up. And man something about Doc was just really cool to me. He’s been my top favorite character for a loooong time.

I’ve actually been genuinely considering trying to get an old 4 door Hudson Hornet and restoring it, I’d even paint it blue! So the timing of this ask was perfect XD

anyways speaking of fillmore & the way i've portrayed his family so far in americana. i'm sort of obsessed with the idea of some journalist tracking down "the lost callahan heir" like fifty years later for the sake of a good story. and then finding some old hippie who's long since stopped caring about all of that. the journalist interviews him, publishes the article, and that's the first that ANYONE in radiator springs (except sarge, maybe) hears of fillmore's past prior to him moving to town.
