Malibu.

yea, you are most likely right...a Impala coupe is an outside chance at best. BUT,...LOL. I am going to work on this and the rear view more, to get futher definition in them as I think they are a bit too cartoon like right now, and the design is not coming across as well as I hoped it would. Color graduation and less line work I think will make the difference, but that is all software work, not drawing per se. Soo, maybe I will do a SEDAN version of this car too, ....as a straight pencil rendering ?? ...without the hood scoop !, ...combining the rear 3 lights from the previous car and the window / fender thing from this one ... with the front end closer to the previous car, with the seperated headlights, and a black out grille...???? ...maybe that will work better. ...THX for tolerating my meanderings ! I just LOVE Impalas !!!! & BTW, The MC SS (NASCAR Model ) ... actually did have a full glass back window, which is the car I had in mind here. You know which one I mean ?..., if I can find a Pix of one I will post it for ya... slope nose and a glass fastack window ???...didn't make to many of 'em as it was just to appease NASCAR, so Chevy could race it.

Well, 1980's look or not....which, BTW I happen to like, (especially the MC SS WITH the glass back window !!! ).....ahh, anyway here is the front view; IMPALA SUPER SPORT COUPE ....Now, this is a true MUSCULE CAR DESIGN...& in case you are tempted to forget THAT MONSTER HOOD SCOOP WILL REMIND YOU IN A NOT TO SUBTLE WAY !!! LOL

thx, I am doing the front view now....same style to match.

LUTZ IS THE MAN. RUN AND HIDE TOYOPET, ....THE PARTY IS OVER. I HEAR GM IS GOING TO TALK WITH PENSKE ABOUT STOMP'IN TOYPET TO HELL AND BACK AGAIN JUST TO STOMP ON THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN, UO,RAH ! NEVER FIGHT AGAINST AN EX-MARINE...EVER ! THE "GENERAL".... IS BACK IN CHARGE.

AAAhhh, I did this one as "Toronado" for GMI, just to piss Rex off !...LOL, what a jerk he is....anyway, I still LIKE this alot... Forget it as a Toro,,,it was based upon the Sabb Areo-X...still like the name tho... ....the Sabb Toronado ????...Hey,... why NOT ? Well, consider this one as entry #1...I'll get ya another FRESH one too !...OK ? This thing is dilberately OUTSIDE the BOX !!!...I should, I will, clean it up some tho, & remove the Toronado name.

ahhh, ummmm, ...because i'm thinkin IT IS for the contest. NOW, I have to do the front view ! BUT more than that, I really want your opinions on the look or specifically, the process of the drawing ? I AM ATTEMPTING to combine the loose drawing technique with a graphics style presentation, ...and I am wondering if it works for you all or not ???? or is it too cartoon like ? Yeah, OK,..I am going to enter this one too, (if that's OK)... , just let me do a front view that matches, allright ? What DAY is it anyway ??? ...I am soooo, lost !...LOL, & LMAO too ! Look, I am NOT trying to Win anything here, I VALUE your comments much more. THX.

This is NOT for the contest per se, well maybe IT IS,....BUT, this COULD be an Impala ( although I designed it more as a Monte Carlo), and I really want your thoughts on this process; http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i23/slip...teCarlolite.jpg ....?????? I used 2 different software packages to do this (Adobe PS & Corel Paint), it is VERY adjustable too, sooo.....talk to me. I am VERY interested in your responses to this !!! Actually, IMO,...THIS IS what the IMPALA coupe should look like !!!...the MC shold have the "Notch Back" roofline !!!... ...& NASCAR should run the IMPALA not the MC ! ...here it is without the "lighting"...: .....just my opinion. LOL !

This is the replacement for the Impala Caprice (the first drawing I put up here)... As the Impala Coupe/Convertible entry is the same design with 2 veiws, this will be my other design entry, I will work on a rear veiw too...this one is more "painted", using PS over and under the scanned drawing. I really descided I DO NOT like the Color version of this at all....So here is the original B&W drawing, which I prefer...;

Oh, YES. I can SEE said the blind dude,....much better now !

WOW !....Yeah, THAT would piss me right off too ! ...?????? Maybe you can save your pix smaller 1000 X 700 in your comp and upload THAT size to PB, so they do not crunch it so much ? That size works well for me, otherwise,...I dunno ?

well, I use PB too, and they dont get that crunched...so it may be the scan size when you save a pix on your computer, i'd check that too? it would be nice to see bigger pixs from you.

...and YOU, my friend. I have only 1 basic complaint about ALL your work... WHY IS IT ALL SO DAM SMALL ????...lol Upsize dude !

Well, i can't leave anybody out now...so, This is a smooth flowing design. it all fits nicely, BUT...if your gonna color it, then shade & highlight it too. it does not take much more to bring out the luminence in colors. Use 3 different colors as base, shade & highlight, pick ANY 3 colors, it won't matter which 3 colors use use to do either, it will work anyway ...try it and see for yourself.

The design is awesome, the drawings are both a bit lopsided tho..?? So,....think perspective and vanishing points, ya, know ? Bigger is closer & the futher away = smaller.....this applies to every part of the car, and then they will be fine. You got some great ideas here.

Yo, Burns ! ....nice work. One of your very best drawings IMO.

THX, man...I shoulda broke out the pencils before this that's all. My fault, but it's all DUCK off the WATER"S back...know wat I mean. LOL I always like your $h! cuz...you got a good rendering style there.

Yep, good eye !, the first post had a 1970 Caprice., front & fender bumps, 1966 rear end....Old School. The new one's kept that influence from the 70 model and the 61- 62 rear facsia treatment, ...but I stepped it all up to a more current style & roof line design.

Thank you, thank you very much. Don't touch that computer screen, we control the horiziontal and the vertical.... You have just entered...THE TWILIGHT ZONE ! (gimme some that you smok'in green man )...nevermind, the Dude drew a DESIEL COBALT all on his own ! LMAO still...great & funny stuff !

Allright, I redid the concept, lost the OLD CAR look, it was tooo 70's...lol. cleaned it up, used less line work and presented it using PS to highlight the DESIGN elements; Impala Super Sport Coupe & Convertible !.... ; http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e363/MRD...METAL/IMPSS.jpg well....??? It ain't perfect yet, I have a loose style of drawing, ...but that comes from being "MR. ARTIST" (my schooling was in Fine Arts, not DESIGN) . ..and as it has been awhile from when I used the scanner and drew someting on PAPER ! LOL

Allright I got my scanner working again, so i did this quick sketch for an entry here http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e363/MRD...L/0770chevy.jpg I will get another veiw or version posted soon, but wanted to see how it looks first as I have not used the scanner in awhile...looks like it's working OK, huh ? lol.

yeah, Ted...thats a good look ! ...after easter then.... ....well, Ted c'mon it's after easter now.... or else I am going to end up with 2 entries here the sedan & coupe !....LOL. hmmmm. ? - that's cool with me tho.

hey you guys ...go see this ; http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5...+rod&pr=goog-sl ...and then go check this out ; http://edrothworld.com/finksterforum/index...3f0ef2311a06871 THIS is the real $h!. BTW, where are the REST of the entries here ???????...& SOLAR, you got my vote so far...That's a NASTY little peice right there!

AHWWW. ...NOT THE CHROME BUMPERS ! ...LOL Amazing how well that 40 year old front end still "works it" right ?... Chevy is #1. The spinning wheels & cabin are from a current Caddy CTS as is most of the body too (and Joe Cool driving), but I liked the combination with the WET pavement which came from the pix of the 68...proves the AWD feel to it. THX.
