Fruji (on Discord) made some gift sketches of Hexie for me, and I liked them so much that I decided to digitise them!

By his request, his signature isn't on the piece. But I still have to credit him anyways...

I commissioned @katevenom.bsky.social to have some freedom with Hexie for my birthday, and she absolutely delivered!

Hexie looks wonderful under the warm light!

I commissioned @anotherbird.bsky.social for a sweet piece featuring Lariette and Casey together! I've edited it to add a quick background.

They did a fantastic job showing their love for each other!

ERA 3: Reconstructivism

At the turn of the 2040s, the message had spread among solo drivers, and teams alike. Drivers, teams and even gangs had joined forces to finally gain a upper hand against the corrupt forces. With no more scarcity, a newer, richer flamboyance had taken place, and groups that once opposed each other would now work together to build rides that carried an elegance over function. That is, form is function, this time around.

ERA 2: Mech-noir

In the mid-2030s, local forces had began making movements to put a bad name to racers and tuners. With rising authoritarian forces, style had to be set aside as racers had to seek the essentials in the face of scarcity. Now, a quietness stood in place of the noise, but that did not mean that their voices were silenced. As one driver put it, ‘we will find a way to live, not survive, no matter the means.’ Cars had become a call to arms, an expression of radicalism and rejection of control.

#art #carart #furryart

Welcome to the VANDALS Magazine Archive. Our team has worked tirelessly to preserve all our articles right back to the inception of the Speed Club, and even some before the name was official. Every chassis, every wrench, every racing jacket has a story to tell, and their voices shall not go unheard. Here, we’ve sorted our articles into the 3 main eras recognized by drivers and builders, fresh and veteran:

ERA 1: Neon Noveau

The first major events took place in the early 2020s, taking place in the city of Rodchenko. Here, fashion found its set of wheels, and it went all out. With form placed over function, bold, unabashed style was foremost in this era. As you needed was just enough bite to throw your head back, and style would do the rest for you. Some in the higher classes pushed for high skill & innovation, but the primary goal of all was to make new noise, and hold no restraint.

Lariette's married partner is Casey the aracari toucan!

As a touring drummer for some metal bands, he is ill-tempered at times, he is mostly relaxed and very cuddly at times. He can be cold-shouldered with his reponses but has deeply set affection.

@hexaflux.bsky.social

This is Lariette, the lesser black-backed gull!

Hailing from Europe, he/they still have a mostly British accent, but slowly becoming more south-western sounding. The ex-but-still-kinda-punkhead is kinda campy with a good sense of modesty.

Meet Britt Kingston, the Australian magpie/carrion crow crossbreed!

In his 30s and father of an adopted son, he's been through a lot. He's cynical and melancholic, but witty and determined. Be patient, he'll be there for you when you least expect it.
