Description I was trying for a car chase scene set somewhere in Eastern Europe on a dark, rainy day. A generic Soviet-bloc looking car (based on an old Lada or Fiat) is pursued by gun-toting baddies in an older Range Rover. In this picture both vehicles are sliding around a corner at speed on wet pavement (the Range Rover has whipped its tail out and both vehicles are up on three wheels trying to countersteer into the slide) and the poor driver in the Renault 5 is just trying to get out of the way.

Almost all of this is pen and was finished in 5-6 hours. Only a few details were digitally retouched, like the headlight glow, water splashes and pavement reflections.

I really like this, since I'm from the Eastern Europe. This car reminds me of GAZ 24 Volga from the side. Front reminds me of some Japanese car, like Datsun Bluebird.

Oh, man... That's fantastic! I love your rain and car reflections...
It's Bourne Supremacy in Sin City style!

The chased car is... From the front it looks like Lada Zhiguli (Manufacturer code VAZ-2103), but from the side it looks like Volga (GAZ-24) because of quite a long hood compared with doors.
By the way, Bourne used Volga GAZ-3110.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was going for. It's sort of a hybrid between a Lada and a Volga. Since I was drawing the car purely from memory (in history class) it ended up looking like a little of both.

Loving the way you managed to get so much action into the picture and the way you drew it really conveys speed. Not that I should be surprised about how well you pulled it off, bro
