If you’re in Cars / Planes fandom, please stop scrolling!

You reached one of Cars blogs! I’m pretty active on here and would like to get to know some other blogs!

I’ve noticed a lack of support and noticing smaller artists (like me) in this fandom so I want to say:

Let’s support each other! If you don’t follow me, leave me a follow and I’ll follow you back! A follow, reblog or like is something that we artists need and help us to stay motivated with our creations!

Come and reblog this for others to see this post so we can support more people in this fandom!

Unhinged Cars or Planes Headcanon Wednesday: Doc's early history with Radiator Springs

Sorry for a short UCoP entry this week. I've got a larger one about the factories and the Manufacturers in the works, so keep your peepers peeled for that one.

I'm so busy and stressed out with irl things rn, it's hard to do anything other than just exist. Still working on WOC geology part three. Still working on MiT chapter 6. Ghost's dialogue is a NIGHTMARE to write AND I've made enough changes to his character and the circumstances that brought him to Dawsonville that I've had to rewrite--and will have to rewrite--most of what I'd already written in my first draft.

Anywho, here's some more praxcanon:

Doc moved to Radiator Springs in 1956 and enrolled as a student at the Mechanical School of Carburetor County (MSCC) that same year. He rented out an old garage next to Flo's, and would only leave to grab a bite to eat or go to class. Initially, he was afraid someone would figure out his true identity. But after a few semesters, the workload from trying to earn two degrees at the same time was so nightmarish that he rarely had time for anything other than studying and class...until a smitten Mercury coupe began stopping by after his patrols to bring him food and to check in on him.

*note* Sheriff wasn't just smitten. He was SMITTEN. Like, the a textbook example of love at first sight.

After getting his doctorate in internal combustion, Doc would exhaust the entirety of his savings--literally every cent he earned racing--to build the Ornament Valley Mechanical Clinic. Ground was broken on May 12, 1960, but construction wasn't actually completed until March 5th, 1961.

Annette Longhauler Ref. Sheet

In my WOC headcanon, Annette is Doc's mother. She helped her father run the family garage in Dawsonville, GA from 1930-1954.

*note* trying to capture her actual color using a digital pallet is HARD. She is painted in Dartmouth green...which can look black in certain lights and from certain angles. The green that I eventually colored her is the best I can sample from real photographs of actual cars painted in this color.

If you wanna learn more about her and my WOC headcanon, here's a link to the fanfiction that I've been working on for a bit. Cheers!

Memoirs of the Hudson Hornet

I made a compilation of extra writing and short-stories that exist within my WOC headcanon and posted it on A03. I've only got two chapters up, now, but I'll be adding to it. You'll need an A03 account to view it.

Most of the stuff is stuff that I've already posted here, but just wanted it in one place. There will be new content, once Moments In Time advances a bit more.

Cheers!

Otis Glenrunner Ref. Sheet

Yaya! It's finished! I actually accomplished something today.

For folks not familiar with my HC, Otis is Doc Hudson's grandfather. He was a mechanic, and ran a garage in Dawsonville, GA until the late 80's.

If you wanna learn more about him and my WOC headcanon, here's a link to the fanfiction that I've been working on for a bit. Cheers!

Carstober 2025, Prompt #4

"Road Crews"

"Some of the roads I used to travel were so dark and remote that if ya broke down...the only road crews that'd check in on ya were the night predators: Song dogs, black birds, dinkels, and nighthawks, to name a few. There were also the big scavengers. In Georgia, we had coal scrapers, but I'd also seen boom lifts and graders. They were all big enough to be a threat...even to the newer model semi-haulers, like me. And the thought that I could end up like the hundreds of broken down, mutilated husks that I'd seen on my travels...kept my attention sharp."

--Samuel Longhauler Sr., Memoirs of the Hudson Hornet: Volume #3, page 31

In my headcanon (#praxcanon) Sam Longhauler is Doc's dad.

I'm only gonna be able to do some prompts this year with everything that's going on at work and home.

I also think I'mma stick to the sketches as I just...like them better. Like they look better to me than my cleaned up lines/colors. Does anyone else ever think that way?

Carsona: Praxy

I should be working on important stuff...but decided to draw up my carsona, instead. If I was in the WOC, I'd be a beige 2007 Saturn Ion with "earrings" on both rearviews (the one on the right changes daily, the one on the left is always a piston cup) and blue "lipstick." She and her husband, Tarlin (a 1999 Mercury Cougar), run a rock and outdoor adventure shop in Radiator Springs (where Mr. Feeler used to be). They were part of the first wave of new business to move into the town during it's LMQ era Renaissance.

Even tho I inked this, it's still very unpolished (no proportion adjustments or cleaned up lineart--you can sill see where I corrected the markers with a white gel pen). Been trying to sketch cars every day, challenging myself to get better with perspective and whatnot. She started out as one of my sketches.

Sketches from today. Trying to draw Ghost (an OC from my fanfic) from memory...
