Hey all, as you all know i posted a while ago and got my second Celica, if you haven't figured it out yet I'm big into the show scene and am not building my second all show Celica. Here are a few rough sketches of the paint and graphics that are gonna be done to the car. I know alot of you wont agree with it and not like it but I wanted to share....personally i think it's gonna be a great show car....I'm phyched and can't wait to paint it >>

Enjoy...

This is the original sketch of the paint skeme (sp), the yellow/orange mark will not be in it.



This is a front view of the celica, keep in mind these are rough sketches so they suck big time....



Here is the graphic that is going on the hood, it is the grim reaper/ soul keeper, the cloak that is over his head is basically the blue, theis is looking as if it's pulled down over the metal plate. In the metal plate will be faces that look as if they are trying to push through.



And this is the last pic this is of the rear of the car. The exhaust has already been run through the hatch to where the liscense plate used to be. Yes it was all don't properly...if you want pictures of this I can get some just let me know.



Ok that's all for now I'll keep you all updated on the progress of the car.....it should be done and ready to show by next show season >>

looks really unique. i would like to see how the exhaust was done and all the painting. nice drawings >>

You do some pretty detailed and original stuff girl. While its not my taste, I do appreicate the creativity and skills.

^ agree

I know if i had to draw something for celica it would be stick figures >>

LOL!!

i like the sketch on the eclipse. not so much on the celica. i know they r the same, but the eclipse one has more color to it.

gonna look awesome either way.

if the yellow/orange thing isnt going to be there, id suggest doin something a lil bolder with the blue spikey things...it seems like it might look a lil incomplete with just a few of those blue spikeys. but thats just my opinion...i love this idea... i wish i had the money to do some crazy paint job like that.

I'd love to see pics of this exhaust.

I dunno, the grim reaper thing is a little tacky, I mean maybe if you were air brushing it on something badass like a harley or something, but not on the celi. Just giving some constructive criticism, the exhaust Idea is cool, but as far I think the diamond plate would be tacky. I would suggest carbon fiber, but I guess it would crack from the heat? Also, I'm sure you realize if you route your exhaust through the liscense plate area you will have to relocate the licsense plate somewhere else, and you will be screwed as far as the trunk goes.

I do like the kit alot, what kit are you sketching there? I think the ducktail style spoiler really gives it a more contemporary look.

I think from a show perspective if you molded the skirts and used the rivit(sp)/scrap metal design over the mold it would look great. Not sure if I'm explaining that right, but if you have a bunch of seams in the scrap metal pattern and then you don't have a seam between the skirt and the car it would look really clean.

the kit that is on the car is the gang's jail kit....i chose the diamond plate because of the metal plate paint that is going to be done, as for the graphics they are all going to be airbrushed. I will get pics of how the exhaust looks tomarrow for ya.....and I can't use carbon fiber around the exhaust because there is a flame kit hooked up to it and it will melt the carbon fiber.....i'll get pics of that too. Oh and the liscense plate is going below on the kit where it is shown......

thanks for all the compliments and constructive criticism >>

~Christina

oh, sorry, I must have not noticed the new spot for the plate.

you draw good

wow..looks good christina. Very crazy. If i could get a work visa and come down there, i would sooo want to take my apparenticeship with u. No one up here except CFD does work like that, and CFD is really stuckup.

EDIT: Sneak peaks on that exhaust?? it looks sick.

the design looks almost exacty like the dgtrials s13 an s14 drift cars.....

I don't believe I have ever seen them.....Do you have a pic?And I'll have the pics of the exhaust up tonight

okay here are some pictures of the exhaust from the exterior, my brother's girl took the celica to work so i wasn't able to get interior shots.

Oh and sorry about the dirt the celica is really reallly dirty.

Okay that just sucks....... >> oh well back to the drawing board

-celicagurl152003+Nov 7, 2005 - 4:46 PM

looks cool, but odd. Are u gonna leave the area around it mesh? or r u gonna mould it in?? I think it would look much cooler/very JGTCish if u mould them in and shave the tips down so they just come out flush. Very unique though. Whats planned for motor and inteior mods??

EDIT: How does it sound inside??

This post has been edited by Valo666: Nov 9, 2005 - 9:22 PM

yes when i am done with it, it will be molded in, you all have to remember I have just started working on this. It's know where near done. As for the interior im not sure, most is gonna be fiberglassed but not sure how yet. To you guys it will more then likly be odd.....but hey that's the way I am *grin* I know alot of you don't care for the idea but i want to thank you for not bashing and just giving you opinions, it's much better.

Laters,

I think it would be useful in a show situation if you put enough work into that spot to make it look like it's where the exhaust should be, instead of where the license should be. If I were a judge I wouldn't want to think it was odd, I would want to think the exhaust was meant to be there. Please, at least don't angle it up, just have the pipes stick straight out. Right now, that idea is a bit of an abomination. Hope that helps a little. Remember if we ALL think it looks weird, there's a pretty good chance the judges will think so as well, originality only gets you so far in a show.

yulk on the pipes out the plate area, sorry but its really not good looking.

not to mention your blowing exhaust right on everyone behind you rather then just off and on to the ground.

it is a unique set up. but imo, i think you should shorten the exhaust alil and bigger tips. might wanna make the exhaust closer to each other too. exhaust is too angled. might make it less angled? but it's a good attempt

ah finally for days i've been meaning to get to this post.....if i could i'd take a sledge to that black celica....that exhaust is hideous...PLEASE remove it............its just bad....

the designs are too "i want to be in the fast and the furious"
try sumthing clean cut and smooth....not poke me in the eye with a stick.....

i want to cry right now
