#bc of the whole thing about cars kind of subliminally looking like faces. so in a world of cyclopses. what else would they do for their car

ID: An illustration of three stylized vehicles, each having one central headlight (or 'eye!'). To the left is a boxy, jeep-like car with a kayak on top and a license plate that reads 'SUR-V3' (survey). In the middle is a rounded mid-century styled car with an '3Y3R011' (eyeroll) license plate, and on the right is an orange and yellow truck with the text "Outta Sight, Outta Mind! Moving Service" painted on the side. Its license plate reads 'N0-P33K1N' (no peekin'). End ID

Some vehicle exploration for Visible Spectrum :) did u know drawing cars becomes a lot more fun when you think of them as little guys. its true i swear

(Additional studies and sketches under read more! These will be using ALT text for IDs and I also included some additional info on each set)

Some of my initial loose car studies, mostly referencing photos of older vehicles from around the 50s since Visible Spectrum's world is partially inspired by a lot of midcentury aesthetics!

These were really fun and I actually enjoyed the process a lot more than I thought I would. I found it was helpful to try and not think of cars as being constrained to box proportions or straight lines.

my initial ventures into attempting to stylize cars into having one 'eye!' Not referenced from any particular photos, but instead cross-referencing different vehicles and pulling aspects that I liked / that I thought would work for these designs. Experimented in some of these with how tail lights might look (vaguely. lol) as well as how to make these cars look expressive (one of the more fun parts of this process)!

I don't like how a lot of that last set looks but I think its fun to look at where the initial planning began to where the final image ended up
