Default Another 5th Gen Firebird concept

Well, here is my rendition of a 5th gen bird. It has changed a great deal from the other one I did a year ago:.https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154297 ,post #14. It has some of the attributes as Trans_Am05's concept (purely coincidental):https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256026.
What do you think? Be gentle

you got something there. but take it to the next level!!

dont mean to trash your design but it looks to much like the 4th gen........make it a 5th gen!!!!!

try to get some cues from the older models while wrapping it all up in a new, tigher body line. Not "retro" for that is to easy but take it there and expand. also, forget wat some might say, your working on it and most are not!

good luck!!!

Well its almost as far from a 4th gen as the C6 is from a C5 hehe.

Good work, see what else you can do to give it a face lift

The key to styling is a simple phrase- less is more. Its usually the subtler features that define a car as beautiful- the C6 is getting rave reviews, and really, its a very simply designed car.

Default 5th gen

Yeah, it's still a work in progress, it's been through many changes. You can't beat the 4th gen styling, so I don't want to deviate too much from it.

to honest, simplier is better sometimes but i like your first better. The second has to much front bumper "solid area" ...........try this,,,,work on a simle profile drawing where you give the car the lines you like. Them tweak like stretch it, make it taller, .....watever, when your done, work on the individual style points that make it unique.

I think you got something there but try froma different angle, sometimes in my drawings that usually helps me figure the lines i like and wat doesnt work with the whole project.

great work, head lights look sweet and the lines are accurate......keep it up, and remember, this is your ride, you decide wat you like

good luck!!

Default Re-Do

Here is what I have so far, as you can see the fascia has been re-done, I shrunk it. Tell me what you think (In comparison to the other ones i've done), be honest.

headlights need to move further out and down to support the body line as just moving the bodyline will create the boat sized front fascia. Also i would look more to opening up the front airdam inlets a little more to the side of the car.

Are you using photoshop for your drawings? If so is it all airbrush, I would love to learn to do stuff like that!
