This image is a 3D version of one of the cars in my 2D illustrated children's book Crazy Cars. The book is in a cartoony 2D style and I wanted the 3D version to have a similar feel.

I orginally did this car without a background and put the image online but figured it really needed to be seen in the context of a cartoony environment.

This car might not be fast, but it sure has luxury. Three storeys of accommodation plus a pool make things comfortable for the owner. The power source is your average family dog. To get enough power to the wheels the dog's exercise wheel has to turn quite a few times before the axle makes even one revolution. But hey, why hurry?

The scene was modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D and came out of the renderer pretty much how you see it (no post-work needed). I used the Hair module to produce foliage. Lighting was hdri with a couple of lights to show up the dog better and provide some specular highlights and shadows. The cobbled road is a done with sub-poly displacement.

A high-resolution version is available by clicking on the image. As always, comments are welcome. Thanks for looking
