Jaguar WIP

Kind of a sub-XF coupe, started out as a simple sketch and I've just been working on it whenever I have a minute, total time right now ~30 minutes

Updates coming soon

Been a while since I've posted, school and my personal life have seen to that, stuff from last quarter and a Jaguar WIP coming soon

Deals Gap, NC

Just got back from Deal's Gap, North Carolina.

A weekend of amazing roads, fun cars, and good friends does the mind good! We left a few hours late due to Tim having just finished his car that morning, but we left on the right day at least. We finally got to the cabin at 3:30AM due to a stop in Lexington because of an incident involving a flying piece of rubber and my car, but no harm no foul, right?

We finally got out to the Rotary meet (Tim drives an RX-7) the next day and drove some incredible roads, we stopped at a gas station for a questionably nutritious lunch and headed back for the award ceremony for the car show.

The weekend was interesting, we left late, my car got hit by a piece of re-tread, but was fine, Tim's sister's RX-7 broke a driveshaft, and the cabin had an NES with duck hunt, awesome.

We finished the trip in Pigeon Forge with some go-cart drifting and lucnch, all together it was great times with great friends which means great memories.

Bored=custom 370Z render 2.0

Updated render of the Z with some more detail, touch ups, and wit some fixes from my buddy Dave's comments. Basically a bit more definition, some more work on the headlights, some wheels that I rendered myself, and a bit more detail in the tail lights as well. Also a new background and some more highlights on the intercooler.

Bored=custom 370Z render

I got bored on a Saturday night and this happened, I should be bored more often. Basically what I'd like my 370Z to look like whenever I end up getting one. Amazing car, and with a little coaxing, it can be a monster.

Updates sometime...hopefully

Well, I'm posting this from work, so don't tell anyone! haha. My internet at my house in in Chicago is on the fritz and I have no service, so once I get that fixed I'll have some nice pretty BMWs, Caddys, and who knows what else to show everyone. Mostly sketches, but maybe some renderings soon after that, seeing as most of the sketches are sitting in my e-mail right now...bummer

Finished Veyron render

I spent a bit more time on the Veyron and finished it up, I'm pretty happy with the end result, more will be up soon as it's an assignment for my mid-term.

Portfolio will be up soon

Portfolio is done, I'll either post it in it's entirety or a link on the blog, updates to work will be added onto the blog though. Feel free to look for new work whenever, I should be posting new stuff every few days, if not more frequently.

Thanks

Far out, man!

So, the stuff I've been doing lately is a bit conservative, I thought I'd ideate on a pod-bodied corner hugger for Cadillac, kind of an escape car for an extremely overworked owner, no distractions, just them, the car, and the cockpit. Obviously it would be a technical marvel, adaptive body panels, corner hugging abilities, full HUD, etc... Now, to make it 1 seat or 2?

Just quick ideation shilloettes, but I'm feeling #1+2 right now.

Wise Words

Wise words from my teacher, Marc Reisen. Stop comparing your projects to everything you've seen, otherwise they'll never be different. Thinking away from convention and away from pop culture is the only real way to create a unique product. Stop saying the car is going to be half TT, half CTS, stop saying it'll be like this, or you're going for that, because that's exactly what you'll get, something that's already been diluted by 17,000 comittees. Think away from the box, think for the future, and think for yourself.

Progression on the Caddy

Here's a more-so finished rendering of the Caddy, expect more soon, hopefully some interior stuff, sketches and maybe some sketch renders. Also, I got bored and decided to do a Mary Kay Cadillac, why? I don't know, it just happened and I don't know why, but I kinda like it, hahaha. Feel free to leave feedback.

New Render, more soon

more-so finished rendering of it, I dunno if orange is the best Cadillac color, but it looks cool in the render, now to move on to more views, and possibly one with the fins open

Cadillac Sketch

So, as I look back on them, the last two sketches suck, so expect re-done versions of them soon. On a better note, I sketched this out today in class and like it a lot, this will probably be one of my directions that I present to GM. Basically this is going to have adaptive body panels, which will look kind of like bib scales. The car will be able to change shape depending on how the car is driving to improve economy and performance, it's going to be a pain to sketch with all of the panels deployed(for braking) but I think it'll totally be worth it.tell me what you think about it in the feedback.

Sketch-render coming soon.

Flat Black Godzilla
