How about this?

Introduction (lol, I had to)
Pretend, for a moment, that you are a tuner. You have Infinate Money, but no shop to make your own parts. Once you decide on your dream import, (for this example, an AE86 Treuno), you get to work. Now, the next step is up to you.


This is the concept.
The concept of the contest is to design, and draw a Tuner car. That means anything from 1986 (AE86 Treuno) To the Modern Day (2004 RSX), with a few exceptions. But. There is a side note. You must use bodykits from real cars. That means you actually have to work for this one. No gliding along. And you must list it.


Here are the Rules
The Car must be an import, Japanese (With a few Euro exceptions)
The car must be modified.
The car MUST be modified with real parts...
The car must include a list of exterior modifications.
It cannot be a photoshopped car.
You may colour it anyway.
It can include a background, but it is not neccesary.

Cars
The cars you may use are any Japanese imports from 1986, to 2005. There will be exceptions to year and country of origan. Hee is a complete car list...

Update: Limited to ONE, O-N-E, 1, Un, Unos, drawing per person. If you have already done 2 for the contest, I appreciate you trying SO hard, and PM me. I may just let you enter both. PS, if you have done 2 for this contest before today, December 3rd, 2004, I will let you enter both. Anyone who has, damn you're a speedy bugger.

So you just tune a 1986 - 2005 import with actual parts?

I'm in if I can get my hot rod contest entry finished.

Is it okay if I enter a drawing that Im working on right now? I was thinking of touching up the Protege 5 sketch I did.

Yeah, by all means. Jeep, yeah, that's it. There ARE exceptions though. But, Basically, tuning something from the Prime era of Imports.

Does it half to be in color?
And can I do a 05 mustang?

Yeah...I guess you can. PS, no it does not have to be in colour.

37 or 40 Ford Coupe...ahh, whats the point, I can barely draw anymore.

I dont think that hot rods should be allowed in the contest.

So we can only use mass produced parts, and we cant do stuff like shaved trim and OEM part swaps?

no no, Anything that exists, or can be used on a car, can be done. It is just, you can't do stuff like Make your own body kit.

PS< Styles
Colour Real
B&W Real

Don't you mean acceptions not exceptions for American and Euro? Unless you dont want them in the contest.

I dont think that hot rods should be allowed in the contest.

I was making a joke.

Yeah, I will make ACCEPTIOnS (Lol, Except, you knw?) for some american and Euro Cars, jeep, so fire away.

Be stricter on the rules man. If this is a Japanese tuner contest, make it Japanese cars only.

And the reason the contests die is either a.) deadlines are too long or b.) you keep extending the deadlines.

Just my :2cents:

sounds good! Does everything have to be from "real life"(rims, tires, hood)? or just the bodykit?

Alex

Everything......I believe.

one more thing: are we allowed to use parts made for a different car thant the one we're drawing? For example, a skyline bodykit on a supra

I think you can put any part on any car as long as the part exists.

Jeep gets it. Hey, do you want to be a Co-Contest operator? I could use some help?

PS, It is a Tuner contest, sorry for that being hazy, so any popular tuner car is allowed. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find an R34 to drool over.

Alex, the answer is yes...As long as it exists. But, if you can, try to stay close to the car your drawing...

Sure HONU, I'll be that. Should we have it all freehand or tools aloud?

I dont think that graphs should be allowed. Those photorealism people are too good. :icon16:

It's your call HONU, tools or no tools.

Well, since the contest is about photorealism (to an extent) lets go with allowing tools.

Remember, the whole contest is how well you can make a tuner car look, by taking a picture of a stock car, and then putting After market mods on it.

Shading won't affect judging. MUCH. Remember, everything you can do for extra points will help. I have a feeling this'll be tight.

Are you sure honu? It might not be fair because some people are extremly good at using tools and some people may not know too much about tools, just my opinion tho.

Well...On second thought, that would make it more fair. Lets go with. No tools. Freehand only.

Okay, here I go:

1.) Is the Mercedes Comp still going? If so, put this one on hold and finish that one. If not, call it off, announce a winnre, do something so I can unstick it.

2.) Edit your first post with very clear rules for this contest. So new entries dont have to read pages of thread to see all the rule changes.

3.) Finalize all of your rules and get this thing going.

4.) Do all of this and I'll sticky it for ya.

Oh, and I changed the name of this thread to something a little more official. If thats a problem say so and I'll change it back.

It's all good. Kustm are you entering?

Changing post now.

It's all good. Kustm are you entering?

Changing post now.

I might... :sunglasse

Aha. Mysterious

If so, what car are you doing. Can you sitcky it yet?

Once the other one is wrapped up Ill sticky it.

As for my entry, I have no idea. What do you suggest?

Maybe an M3, or an SL55? I know your not really into Jap imports. (Shame on you) But, the other one seems to be dead. Maybe you should PM Ross about it.

PS, you can post your car your drawing/progress.

Here’s what I got so far I am not happy with it tho. I am going to smooth out the shading and do a few other things to it. You guy see any thing else I should fix?
The tires are a bit off but that’s ok.
link removed
And here are the reference pic’s I used for most of the car minus the hood and lights in the front.

Hey HONU! Don't let them post it, its going to be voting, make them PM it to one of us.

Oh Yeah....Umkay.

Change of plans, we will not be posting progress here. If you want, post your drawing progress in a PM to moi or Jeep.

May we have 2 seperately judged entries? I'm already done with my P5.

Only if you tell me what your name means.

would you believe me if I said that it means 'Mushroom Kit Tack'?

No. Just tell us. Or else...

Never mind. I'll just enter my single entry. :biggrin:

Meh, just kddin, go ahead and enter both.

thanks

Okay, no problem. I want to know, though. TELL US, or I'll get you banned Jk.

10 bucks says Tim's doing a Cavy if they're allowed... :lol:

Oh yeah, Cavy's are allowed. Thanks #2.

Oh yeah, Cavy's are allowed. Thanks #2.

I thought this was a Japanese tuner contest...

Oh well, Ill just do a Toyota Cavalier.

You could do a civic with a cavalier front end conversion.

It would be stupid, sick, twisted, and hidiously ugly... but you could do it.

Nah, Im happy with a Toyota Cavy

please tell me that's photoshopped.

:eek: :eek: :eek: I demand repentance from the person responsible for this sinful act! (please, pleeease tell us that's photoshopped!)

Lol, well, it's is a Tuner Contest, not strictly Japanese tho.

Good thing it's considered a "Tuner" contest that allows for typical modified compacts to be used. Otherwise the Toyota Cavalier and Chevrolet Forester would be in jeopardy.

GM has their hands in just about everything. I'm sure Subaru pulled the short straw in that deal. :screwy:

Lol, enough debate, if you want a specific car, post, otherwise get to work!

Another question here: how are you supposed to tell if someone is actually drawing a car with different parts and stuff, or if the person is just drawing a modified car?

Alex

A modified car is fine. I would prefer to do a car unmodded to start, but I am trusting the honest drawing community to do good work. If you REALLY want to draw a certain car, go ahead, but make sure to change something. or start with a base car, and pick parts.

so we have to use real parts? and not just a bodykit/rims that u make up?

Post your original.

There we go! That's what I was thinkin, Kustm. rolin22, yes. Read the rules.

Ya, just PM your reference with your drawing, too I think it was me (Jeep_Rubicon) or HighOctaneNOSUser.
