Another T-Bird? Who knows. Had an hour and banged this out as fast as I could.

I need the practice.

Almost look like front fender “fins”.

Thoughts on doing away with standard headlight placement/shape now that LED tech will let us do whatever we want?

Cybertruck kind of does this, but still has “eyes”. Humans like to anthropomorphize things. Arguably one of the reasons the Tucker didn’t succeed.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

That is the car for rollin’.

Give it a folding hardtop, like a modern version of the old Sunliner tops, but that folds more compactly like modern versions...

Good for top up, or top down.

Very T-Bird-y, I dig it.

Wanted to do a quick blade/drape side, added airflow from the vertical lights and a pass-through to the backside of the wheelarch, but also wanted to maintain some elegance. The ‘55 T Bird was a badmotherfucke r, especially with a hotted-up engine. After that, they just got weird. But there’s not a ton of history that needs to be referenced.

Also, cars need a face.

Totally agree that cars need a face.

What do you use to make these sketches?

Right hand.

Edit: Sorry, not meant to sound flippant. Most of what I do these days is drawn on a Surface Book 2, sketched start to finish in Photoshop.
