SSConceptz

scanner sucks but here is some updated ones.

Well I am working on the proportions and Im going to raise the roof slightly. The idea was to make it more of a chop top concept type, where you sit lower in the car like in the Camaro's but still have the room youd normally have just a smaller window.

Thanks for the comments.

umm do you have to design these digitally or can I sketch it?

Here is my concept sketch, nothing final and not a good quality image but I will have it done.

I know this forum is always dead but here is my 2 min sketch.

I know this section is dead but i thought that we could just host our own competition, give some ideas of what you would like the next competition to be and well just start one ourselves. Thanks

Seconded.

lets start a new thread, make our own sketch competition, someone do it then well all just draw something up.

So! Did this section up and die?

wow, let me run this section.

Actually, according to copyright law, it wouldn't be stealing. If you make a design variant of a GM car, they automatically own all legal rights to the work. I found that out the hard way when I sent some sketches to Pontiac back in '84. I was unhappy with the bland looks of the first iteration of the Third gen(?) TransAm and sent some ideas for spiffing it up. Being a young, naive guy, I asked only for a new TA as compensation. J Michael Losh responded and said he liked my sketches and encouraged me to apply for a position at Pontiac's design studio, but, since Firebird and TransAm are GM properties, the sketches were legally theirs as soon as I sent them. :-(

They did use some of my ideas (or I happened to have some of the same ideas they had already created) so I felt vindicated when I started to see some of them in production. My fiancee was dead set against living in Michigan so I never followed up on the invitation to apply.

Girls and cars don't mix.

well the way around that would be drawing a car for a sketch competition but not stating nor badging it as a chevrolet etc any brand of car, but instead saying it is a visual concept of what you think it should look like. That way the drawing would be yours, wouldnt have any connection with any automobile company and they cant legally steal your ideas. im going to start doing this.

lambda is to big for this, but i think it could be translated well on lambda. anyone else think so?

what would be funny is if we were doing all these competitions and some poeple were coming over here to steal some ideas. that would suck.

this isnt really my entry but i was just throwin a first idea together, just looks too long to me. going for a more sportier version of the HHR

This lull in activity is not uncommon. Flybrian gets busy and preoccupied sometimes with other stuff. Don't worry, the ball will roll again soon.

if its not too late I want in before voting begins.

good job everyone!

7 looks like a hardtop to me...

5 proportions are off but I like the overal lines & sharp curves

3 (too busy but not bad)

hardtop was the plan, from the description, believe it is indicating it could be a hardtop. + it could be a retractable hardtop if you wish

Very nice design SS. It's got that concept car flair and looks low-slung and fast. Well done.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the competition is over yet? When will the voting begin? thanks

WAY too big for a Sky. Besides, the Sky only fits 2, this looks like the size of a Camaro!

And who says it has to be a skY? If you read you can change the name to whatever you wish, the car is smaller on paper than the posted pictures. Looks about the size of a Cobalt on paper, which I believe is pretty close.

Got the idea from this car and they are about the same size on paper, so there's no possible way it is too big. Thank you, that is my entry regardless.

Sorry bro its smaller than a camaro.

Here's my entry:

Sure

Something ive been working on..........

IM BACK! and im in......... watch out now.

I am going to get on this one, time to get back in these competitions, I draw up about 4 concepts a day.

(Once Again) It's just a competition idea, you don't have to believe it would happen or not. Just like alot of people doubted the Camaro to return but I and others still designed them for competitions. I just think it would be intersteting and it doesnt have to be fact. Also there are alot of competitions of cars being designed that will never happen either, but we still do it. Why? because it's about creativity not about some other BS.
