A little while ago I entered a contest on deviantArt to "Skin a Scion"...

Here's the original:



And here's my final version:

Nice. So... did you win?

Nice and clean. Good work!

I have won a handfull of contests over the years here on Beyond. Let's see if we can get Nismodrifter to set another up for fun.

I will even do a head to head challenge. Someone not entering the contest should choose the car though.

No, sadly I did not. The grand prize was a Scion tC or $25,000.

However I was in the final 100. Out of a lot of entries, so I am pretty proud of myself :)

Incidentally, the guy who DID end up winning was someone who has really inspired me with my artistic endeavours.

Do you have a link to the winning entry?

Windshield Tint :rofl:

Why the decision not to move to nicer rims over stock?

Sweet, I really like that skin -- reminds me of something right out of FnF haha. I like your art btw, your digital painting reminds me a lot of 2advanced kind of art.

ercchry
with the hood you should have made it a over lay and change the color behind it to a dark grey, would look much more natural

I do as a matter of fact. http://jonsibal.deviantart.com/art/...hocked-56812290

Heh. Yes, windshield tint. All the kids are doing it these days!
I dunno, I guess I liked the stock rims. They have an aggressive look to them without going too far towards the rice / dub spectrums... I darkened them to imply a Powdercoating however, if you look closely...

Thank you. 2Advanced is the shit! I've been huge fans of their work since 2002. Interesting side note: Eric Jordan of 2A followed the same tutorial I did to produce the 2A matte paintings. That may be why you'll notice some similarities.
