Different style contest.

Ok so I got this cool idea for a contest. I know, I know, there is already one going on, but this is a bit different. This is one I've derived from my love for hot rods. SO...Let me explain the rules. The contest is to design your own hot rod based on a design, so do not copy a foose design, Coddington design, or anyone else's design. You must post the original image, unless it was derived completely from your sick and twisted caverns you call a "mind"...JK, so anyway, here are contest rules:

First, it'll be due on july first, 2004.
2. It must be completely done by hand. There will be photoshop permitted to those who want to touch up their drawings. But...you must post/pm the before PS (photshop) and and PS. just so I know you didn't cheat.
3. You MAY use another design to give you ideas. But I do not want to see a car completely designed by foose/coddington/other as your entry.
4. It can be in black and white or colour
5. there will be an amutar/professional leauqe. So you don't have to whine about asaenz or stuffbyalex (OR KustmAce:P)beating you. Because they'll be in a different leauge all together.
6. Post your if you are competing in this thread. I will see all who is in and give them a league. if you do not agree which league yo are in,, feel free to pm me with your complaint.

Finally, the car rules.
1. It may be car or a truck.
2. It is a hot rod, not street Rod, that means a car from 1899 (benz three wheeler) to the 1950's (1955 Chevy)
3.If you are late then I will not except it.
4.It may have a backgorund. Remember, I'm not voting, so it may distinguish weither you win or not.
5. I'm giving you lots of time, so use it. Do a custom paint job, wheels, and overall car.
6. Please! Make it look like a Hot Rod...

Finally, there is not prize, except braging rights and if someone wants to make a banner for the winner they can. I can't do it because I lack photoshop :(

Anyway, GOT TO IT!!!

5. there will be an amutar/professional leauqe. So you don't have to whine about asaenz or stuffbyalex beating you. Because they'll be in a different leauge all together.

...Or KustmAce... :evillol:

Now this is my kind of contest! I'm gonna take this thing...Anybody else gonna come forward? I wanna see who I'm gonna embarrass...

:icon16:

lol, so you'll be in professional league then
:) Good luck. So tell me what car do you think you're going to do. I just gotta ask. Watch out, Kustm Ace, I'm in too...

Aren't we supposed to design our own car?

True, but it is supposed to be based on a ca...AHHHH!!! I've got to edit my post. Hold on...
But, which car are you basing it on is what I meant to say...

Sounds good, one more thing to do!

might not enter, not a fan of hot rods, what exactly is a hot rod? lol i seriously dont noe, all i noe is that they somettimes have engines sticking out. Can some1 please explain, pic or sometthin.?

Ok, here we go:

I can feel a flame-war coming on, so I'm gonna clear this up right now.

There are seven basic categories for old cars:

Classic-Stock, as it appeared in the showroom when it was new. Years don't really matter on this, except that it should be at least like 10 years old. The big thing is that its restored.

Hot Rod-Any car pre-muscle car era. A hot rod is not a trailer queen. They are built to be driven.

Street Rod-Same years as Hot Rod, but they are generally built to be shown. Often dripping in Billet, Street Rods are often very high dollar rods.

http://www.ckdeluxemag.com/showcase/admin/pics/post_1185_3271_thm.jpg


Rat Rods-My personal favorite, they are hot rods from the wrong side of the tracks. Usually very low-budget, just....badass cars.

Muscle-If you dont know a muscle car, well...here you go. Very simple to figure out: after 1964.

http://www.ckdeluxemag.com/showcase/admin/pics/post_873_2098_thm.jpg

Then of course, the Trailer Queens- I do not like trailer queens. These would include cars similar to what Boyd Coddington builds. Very, very high dollar. Often they are replica bodies. They are not built to be driven. They are show, period.

I was a little hesitant to put this in, but hey, why not?
Lowrider-Just like the name says, very low. Often with small rims with hundreds of gold or silver spokes pouring out. Can be any years.

Then of course you can combine man of these to get smaller, subcategories, like retro-rods, classic muscle, lead sleds, etc. But I wont get into those. I think these are the basics. So, thare ya go.

See how bored I am?? :p

Oh shit. I am so happy. I love Hot Rods and I was planning on making a contest just like this. I just started designing a hot rod yesterday, can I please use it? I havent actually drawn the car, just really rough design sketches.

I AM SO HAPPY! I'm bouncing off the walls now.

o that was a good explaination

In the hot rod section what is the name of the first car? and in the muscle car, where did you get the stang pic from if u didnt can u please PM a bigger copy to me.

The first one in the hot rod section is a 50 Mercury. And I'll get you the Mustang in a sec.

Yeah Mike, you can use it. I am so surprised that so many people are interested in this. I thogu hi would get like only 2 replies throughout the whole contest. Now I've got 5 entries (including me) by the first day! Ok, let's clear this up. Mike, your in pro with Kustm and I. Tokes, not sure really, PM me with which catagory you want to be in. Jeep, you'll be in amature for now, k? PM me if you disagree. Oh yeah. Let's clear one thing up here. You guys may do a hot rod or street rod, of course going on Kustm Aces explanation. I was actually classifying a street rod as a Post 1960's era car that is designed to go fast. But...

Since a hotrod and street rod are basically the same according to Kustm, let's say you can make and all show all go car and call it a Shot Rod...lol, but yes, you can do as mixture of both or one of the 2. I don't know if I make sense, but there you go. Kustm, if you want, do a rat rod. But remember, 1959 is the max year allowance. Maybe a '55 Chevy?

Oh yeah, and you CAN do more than one. I am doing 2-3 myself. Already got 1 ready for colour.
One's a roadster, one's a coupe and one is a special surprise. Ahh, hell, I am going to do one in full B and W. Some surprise huh?

Maybe a '55 Chevy?

So are we or are we not designing cars?

I say we do custom design. For instance, look at what Boyd Coddington did. He took a '32 Ford Roadster and modified the design into the Boydster I, II and III. Or like what he did with the Lincoln Zephyr, his design is quite radical to the stock thing.

So you cant just draw just a picture of Coddington/Foose hot rods. This contest should require some design talent as well.

Thats what I thought when he first posted.

Oh ya, and I deem this stickworthy...Do I have a second?

yeah, mike has got the idea. It doesn't matter to me if you make it a sticky, but I would prefere it. Then again, I'm not a mod...unless...lol, jk...

Thats what I thought when he first posted.

Oh ya, and I deem this stickworthy...Do I have a second?

I think its stickyworthy. I dont see anyone that has objected to this contest.

I'd stick it but I dont want you to shoot me Tim.

HE HEE HEEEEEE? what kind of evil laugh is that? Well is it that we are to design a new version of these hot/street rods or is it just customizing hot/street rods? Either is cool with me just clarify.

Its a gay Satin laugh.

Thats a good question. But I think I know. I think we are supposed to design a new rod that is along the lines of an old rod. Like Boyd Coddingtons Boydster II.

can i make the "award" im makin' the one for the other contest :biggrin:


oh, and i think im in i don't have anything else to do and i am done with the onther contest entry.

whats the name of this contest?

Tokes-it is what mike said in a previous post, take a stock car (1899 to 1959) and make it into a rod
Castback-that would be great

OH, and the name? Let's call it AF Hot Rod Contest...

Ok so check this if I took from that genre and remade with current styling like plymouth did with the prowler would that qualify?

Awesome, I will enter.
But I will be overseas when the contest ends, so if I win I won't be there. But M3H I'll enter anyway.

I suppose I'm in amateur league, ok lets get this thing going!

Yes Tokes, that is correct. You can do that. QM, where you at? Lol, love that commercial(Boost Mobile,Spike TV). Anyway, where are you going? Castback, what catagory? I can't really determine. So you can just tell me which one you think that you fit into.

Soo...Can anyone make this important?

I'd stick it but I dont want you to shoot me Tim.

Good thinking

lol, I couldn't find my own thread for a moment...Thanx for making it important. Now only if it wnas that easy to talk to Igor about becoming a mod. Lol. Anyway, come one people, enter!

I'm halfway done the second
lol, you CAN post your progress if you want, I can't scan mine though...:(

umm...Toonz, I hate to dissapoint ya, but I said No PS, but that kinda meant Illustrator to. Before you guys flame me, I will except it this ONE time, but that's it. No more complete PS, CI, or any other program coloured/made images

umm...Toonz, I hate to dissapoint ya, but I said No PS, but that kinda meant Illustrator to. Before you guys flame me, I will except it this ONE time, but that's it. No more complete PS, CI, or any other program coloured/made images

Let say we take an old rod, modify it in PS so it looks like the design we want to draw, then print it out as reference. Is that ok?

Yeah, that's fine
TOONZ! Where are you going!!! I said you could do it, but was warning everyone else Not to. I didn't say you were disqualified. Put your entrey back here!!!

I dont usually do hotrods, but I'm in

i'll enter. if thats alright? and do we have a deadline?

Danny, re-enter that, its sweet! Just detail the sketch and your good!

Suprastar, enter if you want, but read the whole thread before asking questions, all the info is here, and your just cluttering the thread up.

I said deadline was July 1 right? I forget...Danny, can I call you by youkr name? Anyway, just colour it by hand or enter the photshopped/correled one. I said I would except it, but that entries photoshopped/CPU Coloured/CPU sketched will not be excepted in the future.
Zwaag- pro
Suprastar- amutar unless you think otherwise...

sorry i read it all the way through but after reading the second page i forgot the deadline amatuer is fine with me

i'm done but i dont have a scanner

I FINALLY Got one scanned. Beforke you iguys complain, A)I had no referance pic, B) This is only a first draft and C)It was done in just 20 mins...
http://2.pichold.com/2alexcar.jpg

He'd be replacing the front end about once every three days, unfortunately...:lol:

Im about 45% done with the outline.

i did mine without a ref. pic. also. its all created by me. i just did the clasic side view of it. kind of an easy view but i did it with color and im still trying to learn how to do that.

mine was done without a reference pic from the left front view in b/w.... it's definatly my best.... up to par with many drawings here but i still ned a scanner...... hopefully it will be up tomorrow

ok here is the corel painted version . I have not posted my original pic because I dont want to color over my original artwork . Ya'll saw the original so I hope this one still qualifies , if not I will remove it again . :sly:
