Porsche 911
職場の若い男子と欲しい車について話してたら、ランドクルーザーとかランドローバーとかGクラスを挙げたので理由をきいたら高く売れるからだそうで。現実的だなぁと思った訳ですが、では自分はどうだろう?と考えた結果が911でした。座った事や触った事はあっても、乗った事がない。スーパーカーブームやバブル経済の時代にあれだけ輝かしくて現在に至っても存在感は失われていないポルシェとは、どんな車なのかという興味が消えないからでしょうね。さて、イラストを描いてみて気付いた事があって。デッサンの不正確さは作業の途中で気付いたのですけれど、これまで読んだ雑誌や作った模型で自分が持った911という車の印象が現れてるように思って、そのまま纏めてみました。上手じゃないかも知れないけど何だか好きな作品になりました。
I was talking with a young guy at work about the kind of car he wants, and he mentioned Land Cruiser, Land Rover, and G-Class, and I asked him why, and he said because he can sell them at a high price. I thought to myself, “That's very realistic. I thought to myself, “What about myself? I had sat in or touched a 911, but I had never driven one. I guess it is because my interest in what kind of car Porsche is, which was so brilliant during the super car boom and bubble economy and has not lost its presence to this day, has not disappeared. Well, I noticed something when I drew the illustration. I realized during the process that my drawing was inaccurate, but I thought that it was a representation of the impression I had of the 911 from the magazines I had read and the models I had made, so I put it together as it was. It may not be the best, but I kind of like it.
