Sketches and Renders of all types.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Dorcy Flashlight - A 3D render of a Dorcy flashlight done to imitate the high-end SureFire brand of flashlights. Just a single 7W LED is the source for the light and should produce around 100+ lumens.

SAAB Viggen - A resurrection of the VIGGEN name plate. This time on a RWD Coupe platform powered by a 2.5l 4 cylinder Turbo.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

2015 SAAB 9-3 AERO 3-Door - What I hoped SAAB would have rolled out with if GM hadn't killed them off.
I went off the 2003-2004 generation of 9-3 and pushed it further.
It would be a 3 series competitor with a 2.3l 4 cylinder turbocharged engine. Power would go through a Manual(or Auto) trans to the REAR wheels. A first for SAAB.

Sliver Coupe - A FR coupe I did up to do a bit of exploring of different lighting and shading ideas.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

BlueRod - Inspired by Morgan. Old lines meet new-tech.
Straight, hard lines with expressive wheel shrouds gives a classical feel to a thoroughly modern car.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

RedCoupe - A super touring coupe in deep red. A traditional "FR" platform layout with some non traditional touches such as a large side exhaust and a large rear diffuser to bring a sense of seriousness power. Side exhausts are awesome anyways!

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Browns Shoe - Shoe inspired by the Cleveland Browns. Requested by a family member.
More of this mini project will be available soon with additional views.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Browns Shoe - A fleshed out concept of the Cleveland Browns Shoe

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

SuperLime - The form and design language should look familiar to most. Went the way of the Lambo with extra aggression and chisel-cut line work.

Based off a pencil sketch.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Super Orange - Inspired by the all the new renditions of the classic Jag E-Type, but with some different twists see in Jag's most recent creations at Frankfurt auto show. Smooth, Simple, Sleek.

Based of a pencil sketch.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

SuperCoupe2 - For this, I tried a shorter wheelbase (spacing of 2.5 instead of the traditional 3 for a sports car) for a short and stout stance. As a result the wheels appear larger in proportion to the car. Done in Photoshop and based of a pencil sketch.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

SuperRed2 - Played with the surfacing and broke up the form a bit using both surface changes and color. Rendered in Photoshop.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Shooting Break 1 - I have always been a fan of the "Shooting Break" body style used by the BMW Z3 M Coupe and the Ferrari FF, among a few others. It is an odd looking style but it adds a welcome dose of practicality to an otherwise unpractical super-sports car. This is my take on the body style.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

SuperCopper - Inspiration taken from the Classic Cobra and Aston Martin. Based off a pencil sketch and scanned into Photoshop. Playing with the shape and form.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Trail Shoe - Playing with adding textures into the render. Wanted the out-sole to be a prominent feature to convey a sense of grip.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Basketball Shoe - figured I would give car render a rest ad picked a sketch out of my shoe sketchbook to render. Leather texture used and incorporated into the render.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

SuperBlue - Two-tone Blue and Gray. Done off a pencil sketch in Photoshop. The wheels were design and rendered separately.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Supercoupe - A play with the surfacing and line work. Broke the car up into 3 visual sections to show the 3-box foundation. From pencil sketch, to Illustrator, to Photoshop.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Red Super Car - A more detailed rendering of and earlier pen and paper sketch. I was trying to get a bit more expressive with the line-work and stay loose. The wheels and brakes were separate files brought together, then added to the final render. Done in PS.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Shadow - Playing with positive light.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Green - This very Aston Martin-ish render was done in Photoshop, based off an earlier sketch. More play with color.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Red2 - Another render using color. Short wheelbase to exaggerate the body lines and wheels. Based off an earlier line sketch.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Copper - Another render done to play with color. Based of an earlier sketch, then finished up in Photoshop. Started with a base color and applied shading and highlights.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Red - Dumped the usual gray for a color base. The color made the rendering easier.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Based off an earlier sketch.

2/24/11 - More rear 3/4 views. Getting my head around a new kind of drawing style. More loose, very quick and free. Also playing with angles and forms. Defusers remain.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

2/22/11 - Loose & quick sketch of rear 3/4 views.
Trying a different way of tackling 3/4 views and showing form.
Many rear defusers...

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

They turned out better then I thought.

1/28/11 - Rear 3/4.
3/4 views are my "Achilles Heel" when it comes to car design, but you have to start somewhere and practice makes perfect.
Rear 3/4s come easier then front 3/4s, for me.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

1/26/11 Nike Shoe - Took a stab at drawing up a shoe, showing different views. A quick sketch to get a feel for the proportions.
Kept the design a simple, street shoe, where the material/color selection can be the focus.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Inspiration can be said to be from the AMG Black line.

The longer wheelbase allows for a sleeker, lower appearance.

Influence from Aston Martin. (You should see a lot of Aston influence in most of my FR cars.)

This style could be labeled as a "Shooting Break" body style.
