'71 Demon redesign

diymirage said

Well, I watched the whole video again, to see if I missed anything, but all I'm seeing is a kid running a sharpie over a picture
Perhaps this fellow can grab a piece of paper and actually draw a car...that would be an "artistic process" but this is really more akin to electronic graffiti

Statements like this just prove how completely inept you are when it comes to technology.

What that “kid” does in that video is every bit as hard as painting a portrait or carving a sculpture. In order to do work like that you still need all the fundamentals- color theory, light and shadow, proportion- real artistic training. And then, on top of that, you have to know every detail of the software you’re using so you can understand what it’s actually doing at the pixel level. To work at the level shown in that video that’s what you need. The fact that he’s working on a computer instead of with pen and ink doesn’t make it easier, it’s just different. It takes years of training and practice to operate at that level.

Whether you like what he did or not is irrelevant. His stated purpose was to take the original design and make it look like a modern car, which is what he did. That’s exactly what Dodge did with the new Challenger. And they’ve sold millions of them. And if Dodge released a Demon that looked like the rendering in that video they’d sell a crap load of them. Is it “better” than the original? I don’t think so, but that’s my opinion. There are a crapload of classic Challenger owners that went out and bought new Challengers. Hell there were a bunch of them that sold their classics to buy the modern version. Not my deal, but it definitely happened.

You might just want to quit, the more you talk the more it proves your ignorance on the subject.
