Kareem "Speedy" Williams @kareememotion - Tumblr Blog

Greetings everyone. I’m Kareem Williams, or as my school friends like to call me Speedy. But I’m known as Kareem Emotion online.

I’m a African American, autistic artist\writer. I make my own original series, named Daija & Kareem. And I want to share my stories and artwork about these next generation emotions from this series to you folks.

I may not be the best artist and/or writer, but I do try my best every time. And I say that’s all that matters.

My social media platforms are the following:

I’m more active on Instagram. But I’m trying to be more active on Tumblr and DeviantArt.

I hope you like what I’ll be posting here. Mainly being my original series, or all my artwork in general.

XO, Kareem “Speedy” Williams

I’m done. I’m officially done with school (excluding college). It’s been a long journey. Meeting the best teachers, having a best friend, having a crus-I mean showing everyone I’m an artist with a dream. The list goes on. Basically, I went from being a punk in preschool, to becoming a human Lightning McQueen (Cars 3 in particular). So why not make a drawing of Karima paying tribute to the school I graduated (twice) from (I’m not gonna say where). Project Speedy Tiger is Karima’s outfit she would wear on special occasions. This is cannon to GlamOut Bolt Tank. However, I’m not going to say when. A speedpaint on how I made this is on my YouTube channel. Sorry that there’s no commentary.

The #LightningMcQueen and #Mater of #ForzaHorizon5 (as I like to call it), here’s the #FordBronco and the #MercedesAMGOne. With FH5 just around the corner, I wanted to do another drawing of the cover cars of the game. Will you be picking up Forza Horizon 5 when it’s release? I personally will, but chances are I’ll get it around Christmas. Hopefully, I’ll get a Xbox Series S (just to upgrade from the Xbox 360 I’ve had since 2012. And the Xbox One that I have been using is more for family. So it’s not really “mine.”) So far, I’ve only gave the Ford Bronco a name (David Miles). But I’m yet to still give the AMG a female name. I’m thinking Mackenzie Summers. But I’m not sure if that’s a good name or not. Feel free to send me your suggestions.

It’s #LightningMcQueenDay. And what better way to celebrate, then making my own “alternate version” of the iconic car from a franchise nobody likes (unfortunately). Swipe to see the description to my cannon of alternate Monty. #KareemEmotion #Autistic #AutisticArtist #Artist #Artsy #Art #Artwork #Drawing #Illustration #SelfTaughtArtist #ArtistOnInstagram #MontyMcQueen #LightningMcQueen #MontyMcQueenDay #PixarCars #DisneyCars #DisneyCharacter #PixarCharacter #Character #Redraw #OriginalDesign #DisneyDrawing #DisneyArt #PixarArt #PixarDrawing #DisneyPixarCars #DisneyPixar #TraditionalArt #InkDrawing (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTdyRE9LGQq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Don’t mind me, I’m totally not drawing cars that (will) appear in Forza Horizon 5. Okay if you can’t tell, I have an interest in real life cars. But if you’ve been following me for about a year, you’ll know I have the intention of drawing real life cars into a Pixar Cars style. That’s mainly because it adds more character to each vehicle. The McLaren Senna was just a car I wanted to draw at the very start. The looks are not an eye sore. And from FH4, it handles fantastic. The Konesseigg Jesko , has become one of my favorite cars to date. I’ve always loved Konesseiggs since Forza Motorsport 4, and for this being one of their recent cars, it’s worth looking at. Luckily, it appeared in Forza Horizon 4 and it’s by far the best handling Koneesseigg. I’m not the biggest fan of Fords, and The only reason I drew the Ford Bronco was because it was shown in the FH5 trailer. Looking at the drawing, I could’ve done better. Not with the expression, but just the shape and detail. But hey, it was my first try. And I’ll definitely give it a spin once I get my hands on FH5 (soon). The Ford GT, was a car I’ve drawn last year. But this time I made the damage more visible. I know I said I’m not a fan of Fords, but the 2005 GT holds a sweet spot. Thanks, nostalgia. Chances are, I’ll be working on more drawings like this in the future. Just so I can say I still hold dearly to the Cars series.

Can’t have one without the other now can you? I’ll admit, Percy’s redesign doesn’t look too bad. It’s probably one of the better redesigns. However, I still want to make it better. I went for a more Railway Series style, with a mix of the television series. I say this turned out better than my S25/Reboot Thomas redesign. Probably because I’m trying a new art style (in terms of lighting and shading). I can now rest until James gets a “side angle” promo. But I’ll have to go through some rough sketches, similar to Percy. As I said in the description of my fixed S25/Reboot Thomas video, I’m not fan of the new look. Although it looks cute for a preschool book, it doesn’t fit with the series in general. I’m just trying to give the original source a good reputation for what it did right. And not let it be looked at like it’s made “only” for kids. Why else would there be a big fandom? #KareemEmotion #ThomasTheTankEngine #ThomasAndFriends #ThomasSeason25 #ThomasReboot #AllEnginesGo #ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo #Autodesk #AutodeskSketchbook #BookCharacter #CharacterIllustration #Character #DigitalArt #DigitalIllustration #DigitalDrawing #AutisticArtist #SelfTaughtArtist #ArtistOnInstagram #Art #ArtWork #Artistic #Artsy #Artwork #TraditionalArtwork #FanArt #Fandom #Netflix #CartoonNetwork #FamousCharacter #NotMyThomas (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ7OixJBmrp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Okay, I get it. The general public don’t want to think of #Cars2. Not even @Pixar themselves. But that doesn’t stop me from saying “Cars 2, is my all time favorite movie.” I know I’m gonna get shot from saying that, but you know? I’m ready for it. I saw Cars 2 in theaters as a “late birthday gift.” I was 9 when the movie came out. And to this day, I have no problems with it. The video game, is also a lot of fun (hence why I made the Cars 2 Edits video on my YT channel/IGTV). As a result, I thought I’ll showcase McQueen and Francesco…again. It’s also a good time for me to showcase my new art style. You know, making it look more smooth and not rough. I wanted to do something special for C2, since the rough sketches I made on April 4th, as thumbnail sketches for said edits video. I think that shows more dedication to a film nobody likes. Also, C2 premiered in Hollywood on the 18th, while the public get to see it today. Interesting choice, Pixar. Interesting choice. #KareemEmotion #Autistic #AutisticArtist #Artist #Artsy #Artwork #Drawing #ArtistOnInstagram #InstagramArtist #LightningMcQueen #FrancescoBernoulli #PixarCars #DisneyCars #DisneyCharacter #DisneyArt #PixarArt #DisneyPixarCars #DisneyPixar #Cars #Vehicles #10Years #ThumbnailSketches #Traditional #TraditionalArt #MyArtwork #Artwork #Racecars #Improvement #SelfTaughtArtist #AutodeskSketchbook (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQhqz_FBIIc/?utm_medium=tumblr

To show more expressions on these next gen emotions, I worked on 6 facial expressions for Daija. I’ll be doing more character expressions for my other characters, like Kareem, Karamel, Raven, and the list goes on as I progress with my series. As usual, I love drawing main characters. Daija is no exception. Her name is in the logo after all. Plus she’s a tribute character. Can’t go wrong with those. #KareemEmotion #DaijaDay #DaijaAndKareem #DaijaAndKareemMiniGirlz #NextGenEmotions #Emotions #AutodeskSketchbook #OriginalSeries #FacialEpressions #Expressions #CharacterSheet #Character #MyArt #MyArtwork #DigitalArt #DigitalIllustration #DigitalDrawing #DigitalArtist #DigitalArtistOnInstagram #AutisticArtist #SelfTaughtArtist #ArtistOnInstagram #InstaArt #Artistic #Artsy #Artwork #UniqueArt #Art #CreativeArt #Creative (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQID6OVhAAy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Over 15 years, and Cars is still my favorite Disney franchise (although I still prefer the video games). #KareemEmotion #Cars #Pixar #Disney #DisneyCars #PixarCars #DisneyPixarCars #Photography #PhotoOfTheDay #Vehicles #Models #Diecast #MattelCars #CarsAlarmClock #AlarmClock #DigitalAlarm #CarsMovie #CarsDiecast #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #ModelPhotography #CameraAngles #Characters #CarsFranchise #LightningMcQueen #CarsTheVideoGame #RainbowStudios #THQ #June9th #2006 (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP7H6Auh-zL/?utm_medium=tumblr

You had to be with us on May 1st, 2017, to understand our passion for @pixarcars; the @mattel die-cast we’re officially released on that day, for @disney @pixar #Cars3. I still buy toys, yes. But this is the main reason why. For photography purposes. It’s also quite fun being a collector. My first C3 die-casts were C3 McQueen, Dinoco Cruz, and the Bobby and Cal (“Hank” variant) 2-pack. Although, I had to wait until Saturday, May 6th to go to my loco Walmart, because eight grade won’t stop kicking my butt (and it never did). #KareemEmotion #Cars #Pixar #Disney #DisneyCars #PixarCars #DisneyPixarCars #Photography #PhotoOfTheDay #Vehicles #Models #Diecast #MattelCars #Cars3Movie #Cars3Diecast #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #ModelPhotography #CameraAngles #Characters #CarsFranchise #LightningMcQueen #CruzRamirez #JacksonStorm #CalWeathers #BobbySwift #BrickYardley #May1st #2017 (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COWSJjqB_Wa/?igshid=e4wy0bgizsd4

You know me as an #AutisticArtist; however, I’m also an #AutisticPhotographer...as well as a gamer, but I’m sure you already known that. I’ve been working on a decent amount of designs recently in #ForzaHorizon4, and I will be making a showcase on all of my finest work on my #YouTubeChannel (#KareemEmotion). Here’s Street #LightningMcQueen, from #CarsRaceORama. I used a #1999DodgeViper (I see McQueen more as a Viper, than a Corvette). If you have Forza Horizon 4, and you want to download this design, simply search ‘STREET McQUEEN’. Or just search my Xbox gamertag ‘Kareem Emo’ (I’m working on updating my username soon). Hope you guys like this replica. And who knows, maybe you’ll see me driving this car on the streets of Edinburgh. #Cars #Pixar #Disney #DisneyCars #PixarCars #DisneyPixarCars #Design #Replica #Artsy #Forza #ForzaPhotography #ForzaHorzion4Photography #Photography #PhotoOfTheDay #Designer #VideoGame #Gamer #RacingGame #Dodge #DodgeViper #Xbox #XboxOne (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN9AfLaBtzr/?igshid=53rju869nhy1

I’m gonna kill two birds with one stone. Today is #WorldArtDay. And to celebrate said day, I’m revealing the “thumbnail sketches” for my Cars 2 Edits video, which is set to be published on June 17th, 2021 (at least around 8pm EST). I based McQueen off of his modified model in Race-O-Rama (the one on most covers of the game) as well as a 2008 Dodge Viper (Don’t worry, I’m aware he’s a combination of a Viper and a Corvette). However, this version of McQueen won’t be red. Chances are, I’ll make his color black. Same with Francesco. I had a blast drawing Francesco. This is my first time properly drawing him too. I simply used some of his early concept art. Main reason is simple: I find his concept art amusing, and possibly better than his final design. Now these are just thumbnail sketches. So a few things could change. I’ll keep you folks updated in my stories if I make any changes. #KareemEmotion #Autistic #AutisticArtist #Artist #Artsy #Art #Artwork #Drawing #Illustration #SelfTaughtArtist #ArtistOnInstagram #PixarCars #DisneyCars #DisneyCharacter #PixarCharacter #Character #DisneyDrawing #DisneyArt #PixarArt #PixarDrawing #DisneyPixarCars #DisneyPixar #Sketch #Sketchbook #ThumbnailSketch #Traditional #TraditionalDrawing #Pencil #PencilShading (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNtAwUKBD5_/?igshid=omnf2n1okh5s

April is usually known for Easter and April Fools. But I rarely hear anyone talk about #AutismAwarenessMonth. On a “normal” person’s POV, April 2nd, is #AutismAwarnessDay, but on the autism side, it last the whole month. As someone who’s diagnosed with autism, everyday is autism awareness. I’m perfectly fine with that. I love being who I am; a autistic artist/ upcoming writer. Hence why my persona (Kareem) is now a character for my series. Autism is something I want to always keep in mind while making #DaijaAndKareem. Because it plays a big part within some of the stories. And before you ask, no. My series is not meant for children. This series is for teens/adults with and/or without autism. If you’ve been with me for about over a year, you’ll recall I made at least one drawing a day, talking about the spectrum. And that was honestly stressful. I was slowly loosing motivation to draw daily. I maybe autistic, but I’m still human. And humans need rest. I’m not going back to drawing daily. I much prefer taking my time on art. Which is why I could be posting weekly or biweekly (although, this was made in one day, so it doesn’t count with my decision). But I’ll try to make at least two more drawing, talking about my perspective of being autistic. #KareemEmotion #DaijaAndKareemMiniGirlz #NextGenEmotions #Emotions #CansonSketchbook #Sketchbook #SketchbookDrawing #ActuallyAutistic #MySketchbook #OriginalSeries #Character #MyArt #MyArtwork #MySketchBook #AutisticArtist #SelfTaughtArtist #ArtOfTheDay #ArtOfDrawing #InstaArtwork #MyArtStyle #Artistic #Artwork #Drawing #TraditionalArtwork #PencilDrawing #UniqueArt #CreativeArt (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNMAQYCBOP_/?igshid=17smf3jwx9ae1

Too early for Christmas? Too late? Either way, I just had to draw this variant of McQueen. I really adore the metallic finish and it’s a pretty solid Christmas bolt design. Of course I made a few modifications to the drawing (the wing and spoiler in particular). My personal favorite is the first one (with the wing). Since it’s more of “my version.” But you’re free to disagree. #KareemEmotion #Autistic #AutisticArtist #Artist #Artsy #Art #Artwork #Drawing #Illustration #SelfTaughtArtist #ArtistOnInstagram #LightningMcQueen #PixarCars #DisneyCars #DisneyCharacter #PixarCharacter #Character #Redraw #DisneyDrawing #DisneyArt #PixarArt #PixarDrawing #DisneyPixarCars #DisneyPixar #Diecast #Vehicle #Digital #DigitalArt #Autodesk #AutodeskSketchbook (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLj9JHGhBM6/?igshid=spjzr9q5u68d

Did you know that Thomas the Tank Engine preformed in his live show, along with Percy, James, Gordon, and The Fat Controller? FYI: @thomasandfriends Big Live Tour (aka Musical Thomas the Tank Engine, in Japan), was a live show in England and Japan; between 2002-2006. It was a two hour show with two stories. Unfortunately, as the years pass, the original models were seeing better days. And Thomas himself was scrapped. Fun 1: The faces had the ability to blink, move their eyes/eyebrows/mouth. They also had the ability to use steam. Fact 2: James the Red Engine also earned a Guinness World Record in 2004. As a veteran TTTE fan (and also an artist), I wants to pay tribute that what seemed to be the best Thomas live show. This time, I thought I’ll include Percy’s classic face, James’ Railway Series style face, and Gordon’s pilot model. And coming soon, I will be working on at least two scenes from the show. #KareemEmotion #TheRailwaySeries #ThomasTheTankEngine #ThomasAndFriends #ThomasAndFriendsBigLiveTour #2002 #Live #LiveShow #Tribute #TributeDrawing #Classic #ClassicEra #ClassicThomas #PercytheSmallEngine #JamestheRedEngine #GordontheBigEngine #PilotModel #AutisticArtist #Artist #Artsy #Drawing #TraditionalArt #Artwork #PencilDrawing #PencilShading #Monochrome #ArtistonInstagram #SelfTaughtArtist #Locomotives (at Chesapeake, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEGCOOcBkX3/?igshid=1rl3zoug5y4e1
