Actual progress today. This time I used the render of the rally car as a base to get the correct proportions when drawing the sprites by hand.
After working out the general shape I then worked on getting a decent paint job / livery on it. At this resolution it doesn’t look too bad.
It took me all day to get two angles done. I want 16 directions. Doing the up/down/left/right angles won’t be too bad as they’re flat but the in-between angles will probably kill me. It’s hard to get the sprites looking consistent in different angles.

No AI here! All hand drawn pixels lovingly painted.
