@DatTrainAndCarGuy19 fr, i have planned that all.
That would be coated in Beckford Security livery.
@LunarEclipseSP ngl, i would love if you made a police semi, yes, police semi trucks are real, look it up.
dang pinkertons!
@Speedhunter yes, i'm using Initial D art style for the character design. Especially their recognizable eyebrows which is really thick as boardmarker. Typical Initial D character design...
.
Also like i said before the character and the driver card concept also inspired from Initial D Arcade Stage, so expect some Initial D references packed inside
I recognize the Initial D styling and I love it.

@Graingy to make it looking Initial D-ish
Seriously every character's eyebrows in Initial D series are thick as boardmarker
Jane's eyebrows remind me of Inkling Boy's for some reason.
Thick af
