Artist's Comments

I'm posting this Work in progress as a deviation so that I can get some input from all you talented people that have me added. ;)

I've spent a day on this so far (probably... 5-6 hours) including the designing and sketching. I have no idea what to call the.. thing, but 'hammer' seems appropriate given the shape of the car from a top view.

The car is steered by the front wheels, as per normal with cars, but the rear wheel is chain driven, so technically this is neither a car nor a motorbike. No idea what you'd class it as.

As for the form of it, I'm not happy with the rear swingarm, I'll have a go at fixing the shape of that next time I attack it. The rest of it seems good, I still have alot of part lines, lights, handles, details etc to add. Also, the wheels will not be hubless. They are temporary wheels, to be subsituted for custom wheels once I design some specifically for this vehicle.

So I need some input!!

- Possible names for this.. thing
- Possible improvements to the form
- Possible improvements to the function (Canopy opening, drivetrain, etc)
- Anything else you'd like to see changed / added / removed.

So go for it, help me to improve.

Thanks in advance ya'll.

I think the name "Hammer" seems pretty good. The overall shape is pretty damn cool. I like it. I can't see anything that needs to be changed/added/removed apart from what you have said you are still adding...

hmm, not much to be said about this really. its coming along great, and there arent any problems to point out as far as i can see.
im assuming that the engine is up the front, so you could add some exhausts/mufflers along the sides of the rear wheel arm. i think this might help break it up a bit since its the only flat looking part of the vehicle.
im no good with names, so id say the LX54 Visor. 54 for this being your 54th dev and visor since the canopy dominates the look of it :)

Looks great I like the name you choose for it, the canopy seems to be sitting a little to high off the the rest of it. Its like a kick ass virson of Mr Bean's car lol.

i like "the BLADE" for a name..

and i was thinking you could add a "handel bar" type steering thing, like a helecopter stereing, where theres left right back fourth in the middle and power on the right or left, or a steeting whell that extends from the mddle and gas and brake on the sides, if you want to go into that mutch detial.

maby for the front, one lonf and curved to the body light, thats clear and lights up for turn signals.

for the opening carpartment door, i think it would be cool if it open in the revrese direction..

and for the wheels rims, you could make it so it is blast rims with a chrome lip, the outer part of the rim, might look cool..

sorry for all the bad spellin, i havent gone to sleep in 15 hours lol and thats all the ideas i have right now, good luck with your proiject, oh and you should try to go to an college that has car design as a major, i think you would sucseed in that feild.
