Starting to take shape now. Nice work.

Thanks! So it's supposed to be a track machine .... a wing spoiler would really give it the look of modern GT racers ... what do you guys think?

I think you should "wing" it.

Good call.



Yes, even I'm getting annoyed at how long this is taking. My free time doesn't exist.

-complete turn buckles
-door handles
-mirrors
-finish wheels
-add carbon fiber texture to front and rear spoiler via PS
-background
-at least one more sponsor along the rocker. Lat-g wanna be my sponsor?
-Bridgestone tires

I think the Illustrator portion is complete. Just a few little things to do in PS and put together a background. Hopefully the next update will be the final product!!

Looks great.

Just a couple of thoughts (not criticisms) how do you think the flares would look if they were "bolt on" like Porsche uses on the 911 body? Are you happy with the way the sideview mirrors "flow" with the overall theme of the car?
Again just ideas not knocking your talent.

I'd considered the bolt on flares and I like the idea. Certainly would give it a more industrial vibe ... maybe a version 2.0? As far as the mirrors ... no denying they might have been treated as an afterthought, but I took inspiration from the minimalistic mirrors found on a variety of modern GT race cars. Just the same, you often see factory mirrors left on and I did entertain something more factory looking that I found on a couple Pantera images I dug up. Tell me your thoughts, they are appreciated.
