Hi, I would like to know who created this cell shaded art?

THUD is all i know about it XD

Uhhh it's really damn cool and i would like to use it as an avatar among other things...i would just like to ask permission first from the designer if i could use it...change the color to red and put my tag on top of the car?



An example of what i'm taking about is in my car domain already (Ok i cheated)...if you would like me to take it down i will
