Prodigy Customs Photoshop contest

[ProdigyCustoms]

Ok guys, there are some real talented Photochoppers in here. So we are having a little contest for David's 68 Camaro Convertible. It is a 68 RS SS convertible, we will most likely use 17" intro Mulholland 5 wheels http://introwheels.com/pages/w_exposed/mulholland5.shtml (http://introwheels.com/pages/w_exposed/mulholland5.shtml). The car will have a 2" drop and a black cloth convertible top. We are open to ideas, but right now we think we are looking for a classic California two tone with a metallic red top color and lighter solid red bottom color with a dividing line or mellow graphic. We are also open to other two tone ides including coves, fades, etc. We are looking for a subtle classy look for this one. We do not want rally or SS, or any other original style stripes.

David will pick the winning design and you will be credited as the exterior designer of the car. the winner will receive a custom embroidered Team prodigy, Prodigy Customs mechanis shirt ($100 value) and also a embroidered Prodigy Customs hat. We will pick the winner in 2 weeks. Good luck, and thanks in advance.

Here is a link to a shirt pic.........

just to step on frank's toes for a second let me clarify a couple points.
The car is an 350 SS, not an RS/SS (although I wish).
Not sure if I want the light shade or dark shade on top.
I am not oppose to a front bumble bee strip - always loved those.
Feel free to submit more than one rendering.
thanks for all your inputs.

Hmmmm, sounds interesting. I may throw my hat in the ring. Any deadline? Should we post them in this thread, PM or email you guys?

Does that mean you do or do not have the hide-away headlights?

[ProdigyCustoms]

Were looking for something in the next couple weeks. Please post it here, we would like to share the ideas

#3 is sick! keep them coming!!!

[muthstryker]

#3 is the best that is hot, hey carter want to make some money?! lol

[WS6]

2 or 3 for sure. Although I think the extended stripes in 1 are a good idea in general. Great job on the chops though.

Carter does really nice work. He is very responsive and has a good sense of what will look good long term.

He has done some drawings for me and I was very happy with the result.

[Matt]

Man, I can't touch those. Great job!

[carterhickmandesigns]

Thanks guys for the kind words. I really enjoy doing these and sometimes spent more time than I should. Here are a few more to think about.

wow carter, I am very impressed. I can see from your entries alone
this disicision is gonna take some effort.
Let me offer you and the others a bit more guidance.
For starters I need to see headlights, I'm non-RS (not that I am
happy about that).
Also nothing again cowls but I would like to see the stock SS hood
with chrome stacks.
Lastly a bit of attitude with a front bumper delete.
Again great job so far.
da.

[Damn True]

Just one request Carter.

Please do not post the rendering of my car.

Thanks,
True

[carterhickmandesigns]

Man I would not do that to you. I had an idea that was close to yours and did not post it. You are safe with me.... I told you I would not post it.

Carter

[ProdigyCustoms]

We are ready to close the contest. On October 10th we will pick a winner. So get your entries in.

[yellowrallys]

WOW, that last black over red is....:cool:

[redhead]

I can't believe you guys are going to let toad run away with this one. sure he has his sheet together and his designs are solid but I still have not seen the competition. Realize that SEMA is sucking alot of time and energy from the pros and most have backed out. I would like to see some entries from the dreamers amoungst the pro-touring community. It would be great to put something together that we can all have a stake in and can take credit for.
If you need a couple extra days let us know.

Stupid qustion, whats a good quick program to render with?

[carterhickmandesigns]

So.... did you pick one? I swore I was not going to ask but my curiosity has the best of me.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Waiting to hear from David if he is picking a winner from this group

[hdesign]

Stupid qustion, whats a good quick program to render with?

Photoshop, that's pretty much the industry standard.


Carter, awesome entries! Some really innovative color breaks...me likey. I flat out didn't have any time to throw some in...the SEMA rush is on!

[BuddyP]

dang it, guess I should check out this forum more often...

[Chad-1stGen]

who won?

[redhead]

First I want to apologize for the delay. I thought frank would post and he thought I would post, yada yada...

Yikes, this was a difficult choice. I really liked the second entry. It
was sutle and very classy. but this is a camaro so those adjectives
really don't apply. in the end I went with carter's last entry. it is
slick and striking, contemporary yet classic.
Thanks all for your inputs and especially to carter for his creative efforts.

da.

[ProdigyCustoms]

OK Carter, what size shirt do you wear?

[carterhickmandesigns]

Thanks guys, I hope that there were more to choose from than just me. Kinda feels like a bye run in the Finals... yeah I'll take it but would like to race? Know what I mean. If you want any tweeking, just let me know. The way I do my stuff it will only take a few minutes.

Carter

[mcindallas]

Nice stuff Carter. i just may need to see what you can come up with for my truck. i've got an idea in my head but surely not as creative as what you've shown
