Porsche 930/Ruf BTR (2)

RRiders

The following description is taken from both when I had posted a 'clean' version of this elsewhere, along with a current 'shaded' variant.

I had initially planned to upload this along with several other pieces of artwork, however, with my scanner issues among otherthings, ...I think I'll just settle for uploading this and posting what I can...when I can.

Though I know I'll be needing to get a new scanner sooner than later. That being said, here's a RUF BTR, based on the Porsche 911 turbo (930)...and in spite of all my time playing GT4, thru six, I've seldom actually sat down and tried to ever operate a porsche clone.

Even in games with Porsches prominent with few exceptions, chiefly becuase it simcade or outright sims, a RR is...unique.

Granted every car's specific handling charateristics extend far more than it's drivetrain or weight distribution, but this BTR in GT6 in particular seems to be a car that is a rather tricky little thing.

That said...it's a tricky fast thing and I went with drawing a 930 for many a reason...

Partial blame is having been listening to throwback stuff from the likes of Kavinsky, Lazerhawk, Miami nights 1984 and Mitch Murder to name a few, but also becuase having grown up in the 80s and 90s...in spite of more in the latter, I of course did get explosed to a lot of the former along with the latter.

Like many I held a pedestal for many a high performace car including any given Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Corvette, as well as more 'common' cars like the Nissan 300ZX (Z31 and Z32), Toyota Supra, and Mitsubishi Eclipose among many others.

Though as a saying goes to never meet your heroes, few of these examples have lived up to any 'standard' I had in my head, and the Porsche 911 is one such exception among many.

That said...I feel rather better about this car than most as of late...I know there's plenty 'off' about it...but fuck it...I can only keep at it.

Maybe someday I'll not be so crap at drawing people too...

Rambling aside, hope you all enjoy.


A reason why I've not done much of any shading until recently, was because I was trying to at least, draw cars as close to how they are to some extent, or at least establish some things better before I move onto other things.

But given how life has been, I may have to attempt to (and fail at) accelerate some things.

We'll see.
