Another alfa for your enjoyment, here's the 155 V6 Ti.
Tumblr media
This is Hot Wheels Boulevard No. 55, released in 2022, the debut release for this casting. The car is a racing variant of the car, obviously, and raced in the DTM series. This livery is a recreation of the 1993 car driven by Nicola Larini for factory team Alfa Corse, who won the series that year and took the car to first place in 11 of the 22 races. This is a record which has never been surpassed.
Tumblr media
I've got to admit I have never really clicked with Alfa Romeo. There are numerous really cool Alfas, but Alfa Romeo are a pretty general manufacturer with a broad range, and there's little overall coherence to the marque that really creates a particular identity that a lot of other manufacturers manage to give their cars. However, I think this model brought me a little closer to what attracts people to Alfas.
Tumblr media
To my eye the 155 is typical of many Alfa Romeos in that it's not a very special car in everyday road car form; perfectly OK and a lot better than many cars, but not especially a car that you'd notice. My particular enthusiasm is for rally cars, a field Alfa Romeo have not particularly dominated. What interests me with rally is the idea of taking an everyday car and developing it, elevating it, improving it to reach speeds and cross terrain it was never meant to, to become something recognisable and yet utterly unlike what it began as, to entirely transcend what it was intended to be. Touring car racing generally begins with more high-end cars so it doesn't really strike me in the same way usually, but that transcendent spirit is visible in this 155.
Tumblr media
It feels underdoggy and raw as a racer, and has the same energy for me as the Metro 6R4, an everyday car turned into a rampaging beast with a boxy ugly bodykit, lunatic V6 and 4WD. And as I read further about it, I learned that it inherited much of the internal workings of what is probably my favourite "if-you-could-only-have-one" car, the Lancia Delta Integrale, itself a serial winner and holder of a never-bettered record in rallying. Accordingly, I pay a lot more attention to Alfas now.
Tumblr media
This is a really good model, and a great example of what premium Hot Wheels ought to be. Not only is the cross and Biscione livery gloriously detailed and, fuzzy rear quarter Alfa Corse graphics aside, beautifully sharp, the car has multiple parts, including a printed spoiler and a really great full roll cage piece too, like they used to in the good old days. I love a good roll cage!
Tumblr media
Isn't it a brilliant piece of work, though? This is what a premium model should be. It also shows why I routinely open up my cars - to appreciate the fine workmanship fully and add some extra touches to the interior that really make it shine, like the 12 o'clock mark, seatbelts, handbrake and fire extinguisher (I did wonder about a shade band, but I'm unconvinced). If only all premiums were this well made, they might start to approach value for money.

1979 Pontiac Firebird
The 1979 Pontiac Firebird stands as a symbol of the late 1970s American muscle car era, a time when bold styling and performance were key selling points. The Firebird, produced by Pontiac from 1967 to 2002, had evolved significantly by the time it reached its 1979 iteration, marking one of its most memorable and iconic versions.
The 1979 Firebird came in several models, including the base Firebird, the luxurious Esprit, the sporty Formula, and the high-performance Trans Am. Each model had its unique appeal, but the Trans Am was undoubtedly the star of the lineup. Known for its aggressive styling, the Trans Am featured a distinctive "screaming chicken" hood decal, a hallmark that became synonymous with the Firebird brand. This large, flamboyant decal stretched across the hood, making an unmistakable statement about the car’s performance pedigree.
Under the hood, the 1979 Firebird offered a range of engine options. The base models came with a 3.8-liter V6 or a 4.9-liter V8, while the more performance-oriented Trans Am could be equipped with a 6.6-liter V8 engine, known as the "403" for its cubic inch displacement. This engine produced 185 horsepower, a respectable figure for the era, and provided the Trans Am with a powerful and throaty exhaust note that thrilled enthusiasts.
The interior of the 1979 Firebird was designed with both comfort and style in mind. The cockpit-style dashboard was driver-focused, with gauges and controls angled towards the driver for ease of use. Bucket seats, often upholstered in vinyl or optional cloth, provided a sporty feel, while the T-top roof, available on the Trans Am, allowed for an open-air driving experience that was perfect for cruising on sunny days.
In addition to its performance and styling, the 1979 Firebird also benefited from the popularity it gained through pop culture. The Firebird Trans Am was famously featured in the 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit," starring Burt Reynolds. This movie immortalized the Trans Am as a symbol of rebellious spirit and high-speed chases, further cementing its status as a cultural icon.
Despite the challenges of the late 1970s, including increasing emissions regulations and the oil crisis, the 1979 Pontiac Firebird managed to uphold the spirit of the muscle car. Its blend of striking design, performance capabilities, and cultural significance make it a beloved classic among car enthusiasts. Today, well-preserved and restored Firebirds from 1979 are highly sought after by collectors, serving as a reminder of a bygone era of American automotive history where style and performance reigned supreme.
The legacy of the 1979 Pontiac Firebird continues to inspire car lovers, and its presence in the automotive world remains strong, a testament to its enduring appeal and the indelible mark it left on the muscle car landscape.

Maserati MCXtrema Hits the Track Ahead of First Delivery
Maserati MCXtrema, the Trident's uncompromising 730-hp ‘beast’ has returned to be unleashed into its natural environment: the track. It will be undergoing a series of tests until late April, aiming at the delivery of the first model, planned for late summer 2024.
MCXtrema, a non-road-homologated race car produced in 62 units, was created to break the mould and invent new paradigms. The epitome of Maserati DNA and of the extraordinary performance characteristic of everything the 100% Italian brand produces, MCXtrema offers up evidence of its disruptive attitude to racing between the curbs of the circuit where it could be seen in action in a series of fundamental tests to gather the data needed for the final tune-ups. The Trident’s exclusive creation is one of the brand’s boldest cars in terms of development and is an evolution of the Maserati MC20 super sports car, its inspiration and basis.
In February, it had its first official outing at the Autodromo Varano de' Melegari (Parma), where MCXtrema was taken to the track by Maserati chief test driver Andrea Bertolini, one of the most successful drivers in the GT class with four world titles aboard the glorious MC12, who has been working on its development in the dynamic simulator since the early stages.
The February shakedown and subsequent milestones to refine its performance have been the ideal setting to unleash the full power of the 730-hp (540-kW) 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, based on the Maserati Nettuno and taken to the next level.

If there's one sad thing in the world, it's the state of the Chevrolet Corvair. Even among a manufacturer that was real good at making world-beating cars that they kinda gave up on, the Corvair is extra depressing. Yeah, I hear the Pontiac Fiero guy down the street screaming at trash cans too. Just ignore it, and if he comes in here, don't make eye contact.
When I first encountered the Corvair, it was like most of you. Hearing that the government hated the car. Unexpectedly, however, this did not result in the car increasing in popularity. Normally, if Big Daddy Uncle Sam with the whips and chains comes out and starts yelling at you about how dangerous a rear-engined hot rod sports car is, they would immediately sell thirty trillion of the things because they must be bitchin'. However, no such sales explosion occurred in this case.
Pundits have pointed the finger at all kinds of reasons for that. There's no V8, for one thing, and everyone knows that a V8 is mandatory for sports enjoyment in a country where most people bought the limp-ass base model smog V6 to haul their children around in. It has strange European concepts like "handling," and "operator being forced to turn the steering wheel correctly." And it looks kind of weird, especially in pickup-truck form. Yeah, it's a rear-engined sports coupe that's also a sedan, wagon, van, and truck. Somehow, none of these did the trick, and we live in an apocalyptic world of liquid-cooled front-engined boringmobiles.
If there is one good thing to be said for the Corvair, it's that it's a fun, inexpensive sports car that you can get without much effort. And that makes it, paradoxically, a good car. So I guess I no longer have any interest in it. Sorry to have wasted your time. Maybe if I hurry, I can still catch that Fiero guy.

Mitsubishi HSX concept which was put into production as the Mitsubishi GTO / 3000GT / Dodge Stealth
The HSX is a prototype car for sale, also known as the next generation Stallion. Its ultra-wide body, 1,880mm in width, incorporates technology from the HSR-II, a pre-development model.
First of all, the engine mounted on the front is a V6 3000cc DOHC 24-valve twin turbo twin intercooler engine with the same specifications as the HSR-II, called the 6G72 type. The power output has not been disclosed, but it is estimated to be around 300.
It drives all four wheels with a 4WD system with a center differential and viscous coupling (VCU). In addition, active systems (4WD, 4WS, 4IS, 4ABS) have also been put into practical use in the HSX, making it a high-performance car worthy of a new era of sports cars. The electronically controlled 4WS is sensitive to vehicle speed and steering force.
As for the remaining Active 4, the 4IS has MacPherson struts in the front and double wishbones in the rear.
In addition, the HSX is fitted with ventilated disc brakes on the front and rear wheels (four-pot aluminum calipers on the front) and ultra-flat 245/50R17 tires, improving the important basic performance of a car - running, turning and stopping.
On the other hand, the aerodynamic control technology that is a feature of the HSR-II has also been adopted for the HSX, and although it is not as bold as the concept car, the chin spoiler and rear spoiler are adjustable, and are called an active aero system.
__________________________________________________________
Mitsubishi's first full-scale sports car, the HSX, is a new-generation sports car packed with high technology. This attractive ultra-high performance car with a targa-top two-seater body is said to be available for sale as early as September next year. In Japan, only the 4WD model will be available.
In fact, when the HSX starts running on the roads, it is likely to cause a stir in Japan's sports car scene, as the HSX is a sports car with a strong impact.

Ok, i cut some Chick's voicelines on rus dub just for fun
Honestly, I feel sorry for him when I notice that he shakes a lot when racing. My friend told me that his prototype model (Buick GNX 1987) has v6 engine, while all the other racers have a v8. Maybe he's trying his best to win. So keeping the second place for many years is quite a good result. Or he just gets blown away so much by a headwind-

The below prompt was fed into ChatGPT to get travel ideas for a voyage to India.
Initial Prompt:
I am going on a trip to India and need help planning my itinerary. I would like to visit both Goa and Mumbai and see the Taj Mahal. I am interested in yoga, meditation, vegetarian food and possibly staying at an ashram but not a basic one - one that is more luxurious and very well-reviewed. This will be my first trip to Asia so I would like it to be very memorable. Please plan a month-long voyage where my total budget is $5000 not including airfare. Please advise me on the best season to go (I would like avoid rain for example) and I would love to take part in a Hindu festival. Please give me some idea of local etiquette especially when visiting religious sites. I need to know the proper vaccine schedule so that I don't get malaria.

Heartbreak in the 2.0 Sports Class at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans
Perhaps it's understandable given that we're coming off the Rolex 24 at Daytona, but I've been on a bit of an endurance kick lately, and I've come across a story that, while painfully, incredibly, niche, I actually found pretty fascinating. It's the heartbreaking story of a car that survived 24 fearsome hours of 1960s Le Mans...only to fail in the very last laps and miss out on the finish.
Our story takes us to the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race infamous for the battle between Ford's GT40 and Ferrari's 330 P3, however, there was another story brewing in the background: the rise of Porsche.
Ferrari had dominated the early 60s, Ford would take the late 60s with their GT40 winning four in a row, but in 1970, Porsche would breakthrough and take their first win at Le Mans before going on to become the dominant force of the 1980s.
For 1966 though, it was still early days for the Porsche project. Nevertheless, they already possessed some of the numbers that would make future Porsche efforts famous:
3 factory Porsche 906/6 LH "longtails" in the 2.0L Prototype class.
2 factory Porsche 906/6 Carrera coupes in the 2.0L Sports class.
1 privateer Porsche 906/6 Carrera coupe in the 2.0L Prototype class.
And a privateer 911S in the 2.0L GT class for good measure.
Wait a second...why so many different classes? Why do most of those cars seem to be the same model? Why is one Carrera 6 in the Prototype class while the other two are in the Sports class?
Well, the short answer is that old school Le Mans was complicated.
These days there's a clear distinction between classes: Hypercar is the fastest, LMP2 in the middle, and then GTs. Back then though, it was more of a chart - there were Prototypes, Sports Cars, and GT cars.
Prototypes were dedicated racing machines, Sports Cars, meanwhile, were a bit of an odd area, in that there was a 50-car homologation and these cars needed to have all the equipment necessary to be road legal (but as far as I can tell, there was no requirement to actually sell 50 road cars or anything, not yet at least). GT cars, meanwhile, were the actual sports cars for the road modified for racing use.
The other axis of the chart, meanwhile, is displacement. For 1966, there were 1.15L entries, 1.3L entries, 1.6L entries (though none showed up), 2.0L, and then we skipped all the way up to the 5.0L and the 5.0L+ classes.
In Porsche's case, all their cars were powered by a 1991cc Flat-6, meaning that they conformed to the 2.0L class in Prototype, Sports, and GT.
As for the 906, well, they produced the 50 906 Carrera 6s necessary for homologation, but for Le Mans, they brought the longtails. The 906/6 LH, with a monstrous rear overhang - I don't typically use pictures in these blogposts because of image rights, but look up a picture of it, it's hilarious - streamlined specifically for the mighty Mulsanne straight.
So, these 906/6 LHs were leading the charge, and they were up against a trio of Dino 206 prototypes - with Ferrari's 1986cc V6 - but our story focuses on the 906 Carrera 6s.
The #33 Porsche driven by American Peter Gregg and Swede Sten Axelsson, and the #58 driven by Germans Gunter Klass and Rolf Stommelen.
These were, quite literally, the only entries in the 2.0L Sports class. Ford had five GT Mk. 1s (in addition to their eight Prototype Mk. 2s and a sixth GT MK. 1 that didn't make the race) but those were in the 5.0L class, meaning that they weren't competing with Porsche.
Not that it mattered, considering that none of the Mk. 1s finished the race.
So yeah, quite literally two cars competing for the win, and they were strong too.
With the big cars falling away one by one, the Porsches were getting closer and closer to the front, and all five of the factory Porsche System Engineering entries were running in the top then. Thus, as Ford was planning their three-car photo finish for the overall win, Porsche was planning on a five-car photo finish just behind them.
Then...disaster struck.
Shortly after his last pitstop, Peter Gregg, then in seventh place, started experiencing an engine issue.
This must've been within the last hour of the race, probably forty-five to thirty minutes left, and the #33 car had completed a mighty 321 laps, but they were failing so close to the end of the race. In an attempt to make the finish, Peter Gregg parked the car in the pits and waited for the clock to tick down and the Fords to cross the line, figuring that he could at least nurse the car home for one final lap.
The #58 Porsche was still out there, making laps and taking the class lead as well as seventh place overall, but with the Germans on 330 laps and the next car on track being a Ferrari 275 GTB car in the 5.0L GT class on just 313 laps, Gregg could still finish in the top ten at Le Mans and be part of a five-car Porsche photo finish.
So, on the last lap, Peter Gregg tried to restart the car and complete one final lap...but it wouldn't turn over.
He missed the photo finish, and he missed the finish completely.
321 laps done, but he couldn't get it over the line to finish the race.
Thus, Porsche had to content themselves with a four car 4-5-6-7 finish, while Peter Gregg and Sten Axelsson earned the heartbreaking distinction of retiring of engine issues...24 hours into the race.
With none of the GT40 Mk. 1s making the finish and all three Dinos out early in the race, this means that the Klass/Stommelen car was the only Sports entry of any kind to finish the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.
So yeah, Peter Gregg and Sten Axelsson...they were on for a class win and a photo finish for Porsche, only to run into a heartbreaking engine issue at the very end of the race. From class lead and seventh overall to a DNF.
To add insult to injury...that one 911 did make the finish, completing 284 laps for a 14th place finish.
Less laps but...they finished the lap that counts: the last one.

Making a Monster - A Midjourney/Photoshop Tutorial
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today, I'm going to be breaking down how I use Midjourney for character design.
I've recently figured out what I want to do with my joust at the Poke/Digi/Rancher-of- Mon type concept. A lot will be coming from that soon, I don't have a name yet, but the mathematical formula is:
"oops, all Gardevoirs" multiplied by LadyDeviMon + the square root of MOTU over Bluth.
A couple of BioCritters are getting ported over to this new concept, specifically the Waifusaurus evolution branch:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which was itself a parody of pokemon that are essentially just ladies anyhow, so its probably more accurate to say Waifusaurus spawned unnamed LadyMon Project.
I made most of the first BioCritters in Dall-E3 through Bing Image creator, and Bing makes finding old prompts a pain, and while Straifu, the Lois Griffin parody form, is the subject of today's process, they followed the same prompt format I used with the Flintstones-inspired base Waifusaurus form:
vintage animation cell, a slender dinosaur-anthro housewife on flinstones, resembles humanoid dino the dinosaur, blue dinosaur-lady, purple tigerskin housedress, holding rolling-pin-made-of-rock 1963, in the style of 1960s hanna-barbera TV animation, character cel on white background, posed in a determined ready fighting stance
However, I have a specific look for this new project in mind, so its time to evolve the design.
Step one was to start with basic prompting. I built a new prompt that described what I wanted:
fullbody original production cel, white border all around, vintage animation cel, lavender humanoid woman-creature with large t-rex legs and tail, fan of feathers at the end, wearing teal button up blouse, bob haircut, clawed hands, lois griffin as a pokemon, female character design vintage cartoon screen capture (1993) by AKOM and TOEI , white background, beautiful variable-width black line art with cel shaded vintage cartoon color, painted backdrop, official media, UHQ 1996, official media, UHQ
I ran this in Niji 6, using the style moodboard I'd made for the purpose: --p m7298241701452185637 - largely a mix of full body character designs I'd generated in the style I wanted and 1980s animation model sheets. Moodboards are an expanded version of style prompting, which I outline here.
Tumblr media
Examples from runs that produced nothing remotely like what I wanted. I could spend some time tinkering with the prompt to get closer but character prompting is right there, why not just load the original design in?
Tumblr media
Yeah, Midjourney/NijiJourney cannot, as of v6, grok abstract cartoony art styles, and character reference always pulls at least a bit of art style as one of its limitations, so the general grotesqueness of its interpretations of these designs leak through.
Now, there's still several things I could do here. The easiest would be to take the straifu on the right and use a combination of in-painting and gradually swapping out the character prompt for a mix of "closer" options over a series of variations until it became something relatively close.
But around about now, I started getting ideas on how I wanted her to look. I liked the idea of a sort of "dinotaur", so I rendered up a regular rex, and combined it with one of the first-wave prompt-only failures and a recolored head in the style I was going for in photoshop.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was a Q&D mockup, only intended for prompting purposes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Using a combination of the mockups, the original design, and various results from their iteration-chain, I was able to get very close to the basic concept, only to run into two major issues: One, the huge lower body effect wasn't coming across as intentional (either disappearing into standard thicc-cartoon milfness or looking like AI screwups) and two: the design was boring when divorced from its bug-eyed cartoon aesthetics.
Now, you can do a lot with a flawed design, but a boring one means you need to start re-conceptualizing.
Which begins under the fold:
Straifu is a parody of Lois Griffin. In the broadest sense, that brings to mind the nasal voice, and in a battle-monster genre setting that means sonic attacks. Sonic + dinosaur means parasaurolophus to me.
Tumblr media
Above, I mentioned I could have in-painted one of the cartoony results. I had actually done that, using the mockup face as a character prompt, and one of its results was interesting, so I started refining based on that:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can use edit to zoom in with Midjourney, it's just you can only do it horizontally or vertically in any given go. I zoomed in using this method, and redid her eyes in the process.
I did another mockup of her with a crest and in-painted, then iterated in the in-painting result.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I did a lot of iterations at this stage, some as basic variations, some as full strong variations, but eventually by combining various results into the character prompt, I got the variation I liked best.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My initial thought was to restore the "beak" from those earlier versions but her duckbill face was too perfect to pass up.
I then attempted to get her a full body via outpainting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn't have much luck, once again the results were either too ai-fuckup-like or too basic.
The idea that came to me to solve the problem was to make her a full on parasaurolopus-taur, forelimbs and all. Midjourney wasn't going to cooperate on that, really weird designs aren't well understood by the current character reference.
Omnireference is supposed to fix that, but to paraphrase 'Oh Brother, Where Art Thou': Well ain't version 7 a temporal miracle? Two weeks from everywhen!
Now, it was time to do things the old fashioned way. With editing.
I went through a lot of attempts to make a base dinosaur:
Tumblr media
Eventually landing on this fellow, and this torso forming this rough-cut:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, there's one thing to note, the line quality on the two is completely different. Fixing that means getting at the lines.
The best way to do this in photoshop is by upscaling the image 200%, and using a fill bucket set to around 10-25% (anti-aliasing on) and white to make any dark colors gradually lighter so threshold can drop them to pure lines.
From there, I selected individual sections of thin lines and duplicated them, using a combination of 1 px strokes and nuding sections a pixel in any given direction to match the line width without it looking like a coloring book.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which I then re-colored using your basic comic coloring process. I went with what is largely an inverse of the original colors because I already have a purple/lavender parasaurolophus character in DynoGuard.
Then, I started doing this tutorial, and realized one of the early versions shirt had formed a sort of plastron, and I went in and painted all that over on top.
I could go into more detail, but I'm out of images and this is already novel-length.
-
The gif at the start was made in Vidu, using the subject reference feature, the final image of Straifu, a background image, and this prompt:
a green creature with a purple shirt, she takes a deep breath and screams, the scream lasting 2 full seconds, Sakuga animation, eyecatch animation. Vintage traditional cel animation, TOEI, disney, don bluth, filmation productions, scene from Masters of the Universe (1983), ultra-high quality flawless animation sequence, Blu-Ray remaster. Every frame in focus and sharply detailed. Animated on 2s matte background painting.
