watch out for your perspective on 277 and 284, but great job on your Alias and interior sketches. Like them a lot!

Hey, your Bugatti looks very nice, I like the way its facets give the car a radical sport spirit. The rear really has a Bugatti style ! By the way, I am searching a transportation design internship in San Francisco, but it’s very hard to find out. Especially because I’m far, I live France. Would you have some tips for helping me? Thanks in advance.

Hey Jon! How’s your life in Germany? Are you fluent with the language? I bet you are having so much fun out there.

Whoa. Been on here for a while, but had not seen your stuff yet. Sharp sharp! You are leaning toward a unique aesthetic with the Bugatti that I really like and aim for, but do not see much of... A kind of "floating elements" look. I started doing that in school, and still like it a lot. Keep it up! Cheers.

To UNDB 730 days ago:Thanks, Dave! Wait- you're the genius that did all those Model T sketches that I have compiled in my hard drive?! Those pieces have been an inspiration to me..
Next gen Miata 798 days ago:Don't forget about proportions! (for a miata- convey FR more in the sketches..)
Meccan Exciter 804 days ago:Nice front end. Lamps are a bit too large for my taste, but i like the hood/ mouth area. good stuff.
Helios 806 days ago:Here's your walkaround, B- it's not quite presentation quality- more of an evaluation tool- and it's a bit quick.. But here is is, since you asked for it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36XRFMeIn7E
Helios 806 days ago:Brian- Thank you for your thoughts. I greatly appreciate the amount of detail you went into, as well as the completeness in description of your thought process. SO much more constructive than a simple "i like it.." ha. As far as your comments go, I completely agree. First- the rear quarter- I feel the silhouette and shape could have been more advanced, considering the more conservative nature compared to the front. Many have expressed this concern, and I feel it to be my next area of improvement. Furthermore, I agree with you that my taillamps are too small in relation to the rear. They simply became too small/ thin/ frail. Last year when I had the luck of interning at Design Center Potsdam, I spent 10 months refining ONE car proposal- with 10 hours a day not uncommon. In the end, I was still wanting to make small tweaks to details and surfaces to further advance the design. Further, I had professional modelers to help in this process; at times orchestrating a small team of 4 very skilled professionals, with the direction of 4 extremely experienced chiefs. Compare this scenario with this project (1 month) and you will begin to see the degree of my satisfaction with this project. Thanks again, Brian.
Celestial Road Racer 807 days ago:I like the profile- I think the side view is more promising than the graphics on the front/ rear. (a good thing considering graphical elements are easily changed- proportion and shape are not) My favorite aspect of this car? It reminds me of the 2000GT..
Dolphin 807 days ago:Good progression here. The profile looks great- definitely improved this proposal. Would be great to see the packaging work in 3d..
Helios 807 days ago:Aurel, you're right- the rear sketch has an uncanny resemblance to the CS's character- which is interesting that you point out, because I never really considered that car in my sketching. I suppose it's bold character has subconsciously burned a permanent impression in my design vocabulary... And no, my images don't open for me either.. I wonder why that is.. Thank you again, to everyone that gave me input on this project. It's been great to see everyone's different opinion (love/hate the front, etc) - I'm a big believer that good design is always met with confusion and discomfort at first... (z4, anyone?)
Elvira 807 days ago:Aurel, somehow I keep coming back to look at your delicious work. I should let you know, by the way, that I've been a fan of your style since I started collecting your work on CDN. I admire your technique and subtle color sensitivity.. I'm linking my blog to yours- hope you don't mind... And for the front- I really like the idea of hidden lamps- like a new interpretation of pop-up headlamps.. From a design standpoint, I would push them further apart to visually widen the vehicle.
MIAMI ROADSTER 807 days ago:Sangho, you still have 2 terms left at ACCD? You're going to be a monster when you graduate.. Good thing I'm not competing with you for jobs! haha. I have to admit that this project has grown on me in the past couple weeks. I agree with Aurel's previous comment regarding influences in your design, whether they be conscious or not. I think this car has potential- though some elements such as the rear wing (as previously mentioned by others) don't quite work with the overall theme. I am anxious to see you take this design further than sketch renderings- fitting this design on a reasonable package would be a very interesting proposal- though keeping the themes and character intact will be difficult, I am extremely anxious to see how you translate these themes into 3d.. Congratulations, man. Nice stuff.
Urban desire 807 days ago:Hey Nikola- I have a suggestion for you. You mentioned in your post that this is a last minute entry and that you apologize for some aspects. You may be an amateur, but if you aspire to be a professional, "ACT AS IF.." Never project a negative image about your work to a client, and never apologize for shortcomings. Do the best work you can do, and be proud that you did. Good job posting your work for others to criticize- that's how you improve..
LM Galgo 810 days ago:I personally see a lot of Alfa Romeo in this proposal- from the proportions to the attitude, and the overall personality.. (could just imagine the triangualr grille in there...)
Helios 812 days ago:Thanks, guys.. I appreciate all the positive comments... I wanted to infuse classic proportion with high-tech in the details. The development of the chassis and door openings hopefully will help convey that message- I've included a screenshot of the current logistics and chassis development.. It's 5:17AM and I can't sleep because the gears are turning...
Elvira 812 days ago:Ok, last thing- there's a mistake in your reference- the P-51D listed in the image is actually a P-51B. (sorry, had to share my .02)
Elvira 812 days ago:What?! No steering rack/ column/or sway bars in the cutaway?! And no visible turbo or IC? Bah-humbug! (kidding) Really though, great sketches! Lots of fun eyecandy to look at. The overall proportions are strangely uncomfortable for me though... And I see no R8 in it whatsoever.. (a good thing since everyone seems to think it looks too R8)
SS 812 days ago:Cool attitude.. Composed, confident, and hunkered down.. Proportionally (for a muscle car), it could be more FR- longer, horizontal hood and way more DTA ratio..
Burner King 812 days ago:The top left ideation sketch somehow shows a more unique personality than the final direction- Very brutal and very American. I'd love to see that sketch taken further.
Mito by VictorDesign 812 days ago:I feel that the two iterations are completely different vehicles; the first iteration has promising potential- the mid-engined, low-slung, F1 inspired speedform with minimal fairings that reach to intersect the fuselage. The second concept comes across as a front-engined, brutish hot-rod that isn't quite sure if it wants to be a sedan.. The wishbone theme below the A pillar seems unresolved and busy, imho. Both iterations seem like they could be wider- expecially in the rear track.
Comaston Maro 821 days ago:Haha.. thanks, guys.. This sneak peak was an experiment- i'll post the actual sketches later today.. Yeah, always build to theoreticals! radii last!
seatface 832 days ago:Awesome. Form-oriented sculptural quality instead of gimmicky graphics. Love it.
To Crisp Angles 833 days ago:thanks for the kind words, guys.. I appreciate the positive feedback! And yeah, that's my (Fix Daily) rotary track whore..
R.I.F. Concept CAR 852 days ago:I think electric cars are unpopular because the components are impractical, heavy, expensive, and produce too little range. The Tesla roadster has a 1000lb battery that only lets it travel 200 or so miles..
THE BAT 852 days ago:Five things come to mind : 1 For this type of package, I'd like to see more sculpture in terms of plan view. 2 The rear may benefit from a slightly longer overhang, and more plan shape. 3 I would feel more comfortable with slightly more meat above the wheel arches- especially the rears. 4 The glass is too round for my tastes. 5 Is that jacqueline's laptop?
LMone 861 days ago:Thanks for the kind words. I forgot to include the sketch that shows the functions of the spine- Rollover protection, structural rigidity, and surf/snowboard rack..
