#Hothlonian Ponies

[mxc-art]

This piece went through at least 3 major revisions but I'm glad to have seen it through! I wanted to expand on the world of the piece "Chasing the Apocalypse" with a full rewind to the very start of the story, with the main character "Ax'L Turbski" lining up for his first race. Giving him a last second rundown of the course is former Fenrite miner Darryl Bedrock (much to his sister Anne's [who can be found running across the street in the back] displeasure of getting involved with this stuff).

I wanted the setting to be about 10 or so years after the end of this huge 20 year galactic conflict where everyone's expanding back out across the stars, and the story takes place on the most popular of the former frontier planets, Vakmerő. technology wise they have advanced past the "Space 80's" and are into the late 90s, roughly 1997 ish. With everyone expanding to new planets they need fuel-efficient ways of getting around wherever they settle down, and as such tit's given birth to an automotive renaissance, and this coupled with the rapid expansion of the size of Vakmerő's port city, Túl, has led to a growing illegal street racing racket being run by the city's growing gangs, who fight over who the city "belongs to".

There's more to this that I'd love to expand on with future illustrations but in the here and now please enjoy!

1 hour challenge, drew an old character of mine I eventually want to write a full story for someday.

WOW! This amazing model was made by my very good friend Israel Figueroa, whose website can be found here: http://figueroa-israel.com/ !

Updates are coming, I swear, I’ve just been in a rut for a while. Just a warning, it might be a bit of a disconnect from the previous update. Also we just hit our 5th anniversary, geez!
