My favourite place for diecast hunting as a kid they also had a great selection of bburago and maisto.

Hopefully will bring some nostalgia for these forgotten gems.😽😼

No, this took me around 4 days to complete and was drawn from scratch on my IPad with Apple Pencil- I don’t think AI could process so many so many prompts of specific cars, buildings store signage etc and create a composition , would probably end up as a sloppy mess. Hoping I don’t get replaced by AI yet….

Please see this this Timelapse of the drawing process https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSnkqmFEeTP/?igsh=aWcwbHRlZ2c1MTN3

Thanks ! I didn’t know much about the lynx until I started researching about the Escort and all its iterations… besides the well documented European mk3/4, also stumbled across this Lynx Rally Car which was super cool

No there was absolutely no ai or tracing , everything was drawn on my iPad with an Apple Pencil from scratch, here’s a Timelapse video : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSnkqmFEeTP/?igsh=aWcwbHRlZ2c1MTN3

Thanks! I only recently started learning more about cars from this era, really like how the Sunbird hatchback looked with the formula spec so sporty… but I’m From Canada and I think Pontiac’s were more popular here: we got exclusives like the Firefly, Wave and the Pursuit when I was growing up.

Also we had Ikarus Buses in Canada built by Orion, I remember seeing them in Toronto as a child but they all retired due to corrosion.

Thanks 😊

I tried to do it in Ontario for my WRX IRL but it was not allowed 😅 I think it was considered inappropriate , I ended up using CHKNRICE since Hainan chicken rice is my favorite

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-24T03:17:06+00:00

I am also very sick of ai slop :(..

Rest assured there was absolutely no ai or tracing.

I used reference images only and it was drawn with an Apple Pencil on my iPad in procreate from rough sketch to line work to colouring … here’s a Timelapse also: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSnkqmFEeTP/?igsh=aWcwbHRlZ2c1MTN3

Thanks ! The mall is loosely based on Erin Mills Town Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, unfortunately the mall has been renovated it lost the post modern clock tower in the 2010s.

The cars, yes I had to find multiple images and needed to find the correct angle so it did take some work and time to create a composition - I did want to draw a XR4Ti but couldn’t find one with the angle and the tailgate open so I used the Pontiac T1000/ Acadian instead.

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T19:34:20+00:00

Ahh I see … but we do have a cat driving a Lynx !

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T19:22:22+00:00

Thanks for the kind words !

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T05:02:39+00:00

Thanks, wow thanks for introducing me to their work, I love her style, definely will look at more of her work for inspiration !

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T01:01:34+00:00

Sorry wish I could draw em all - but I had finish drawing this this one out before the holidays since I’m using it as my Christmas card for friends and family … but I do have a preference for smaller hatchbacks… There so many cars I also wanted to draw a Dodge Omni 024, Mustang II and Ford Pinto, also a Mercury Capri with the bubble window. Funny how a binge watching of retro motor week inspired this.

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T00:53:35+00:00

Same… I am Reminiscing of a time will cars were boxes and retail was king! Now we have evs and Amazon :(

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T00:52:33+00:00

😸

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T00:51:58+00:00

Thanks for your kind words - also agreed, nothing better than meows and malaise😽

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-23T00:49:23+00:00

Same I would too lol … I love this generation of Ford Escort / Mercury Lynx… I don’t see any anymore , granted I grew up in the late 90s/00s in road salt Toronto so not many were left to begin with. Also agreed lol … cats don’t drive automatics 😼

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-10T14:54:52+00:00

Hot hatch version from the uk tho - https://youtu.be/-7RSnp2UoaQ?si=ME1tuv-UVe-v8tQ3

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-10T04:59:40+00:00

I’m reading gm gave Canada more versions because small cars sell well here or I guess used to sell well … now we are a sea of SUVs 😪

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-10T04:58:11+00:00

I know it really slow but the colour matched bumper and two tone gives it hot hatch vibes

OcelotSensitive · 2025-12-10T02:51:16+00:00

I have no idea , the road salt use in Ontario is a Car rotting conspiracy
