This is a project for Celicafan1 (Chris) and the call he put out for a project. Its a Celica GT4 with a major set of body mods, custom fitting of different pieces from different kits, most of which not meant for the GT4. Sounds like he's got a pretty good project going. Lots of research and sounds like a trusty shop lined up to do the work. Here is the beginning of my process for the rendering.

Rough sketches, overlayed and refined until I get it where I want. Pretty happy with the front view, might need some work still on the rear. Next I'll start composing the layout.

enjoy

dude, that is really good!! kudos go out to ya!!! (//_^)

Watch your wheel sizes, as they appear to be much too small, other than that looking good so far!

Good luck with the project!

Great start to the design work. Good viewing angles to show-off the designs.
I do agree with retrepstra, that the wheels look to be only 14"-15" rims when compared to the body proportions.
Unless this is the size you are trying to use in your design?

Reworked the rear 3/4 and went with something that showed off the customization better. Much happier with this sketch and am now ready to get my composition together.

I'm still happy with the front view but might bump up the wheel size in the final piece.

Built a few compositions. I like the first one best, with the Toyota badge and the TRD logo as the backdrop. The others are a simple gay back with the badge and another all TRD.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but I don't have a scanner for this big of paper. Once Chris pics the one he likes, I'm going to move on to the final piece. I'll be sure to have a nice high res scan for that.
