Contest Eclipse

hey everybody, I'm working on yet another contest entry. Hopefully this one doesnt die, like almost all the other ones made in the history of the s/d forum. This is a '99 eclipse gsx. So far I've gotten a preliminary sketch done to see how the bodykit, paint and wheels i chose would look. I started on the rendering. Comments and crit are appreciated! Thanks.

I'm going to post the references I'm using:

stock eclipse


Bodykit


Carbon-fiber mirror


R-1 gtr wheel


Vertical doors:


Here's the pre sketch:


And the drawing so far:


I'm going to do 2 tone paint, with blue on the bottom and black on the top. the middle strip separatiing the colors will be silver. I'm also going to try doing a carbon fiber hood. Other mods are going to be some racing seats, intercooler, and probably a spoiler.

Alex

Re: Contest Eclipse

Thanks for the comments. Here's an update... should be finished by the end of today or tomorrow.

Btw, Alex: carbon fiber is really hard to do.

Re: Contest Eclipse

Very nice coloring!
What is up with the back rim? It looks squarish and a bit wierd.

Re: Contest Eclipse

thanks ran for pointing out the rim. i think i drew in the tire way too light, making some of it look fused in with the rim. I'll fix that up the best I can, since it's looking pretty ugly at the moment.

Re: Contest Eclipse

Thanks again for the comments Alex

MBTN: dont like the paintjob, I'm guessing?

Zwofurti: Thanks for the crit. i really gotta fix that wheel.

I think this drawing will be put on hold for a little while. I have to whip up a porsche drawing in time for Sunday. That means i should stop posting and start drawing. See ya

Re: Contest Eclipse

i love it...love the front wheel its a perfect for that kind of a car!
the only problem is that the rear looks a bit weird, if you look at the rear bumper on the red eclipse and yours your is way to hmm big...

anyway great stuff!
