CarDesignFetish knows that you like cool cars.  We also know that you like to sketch cool cars.  What happens when you put the two together?  A really cool design contest, that’s what!

We’re hosting our first ever sketch contest on CDF, and it centers around a classic vehicle: the Batmobile.  Gotham’s masked detective has one of most iconic rides around, filled with gadgets, weapons, and style.  The goal is for you to create/sketch a Batmobile concept, but to do so in 2 hours or less and send them over to us.  Pencil sketches, Photoshop, Painter… whatever you want to use to create it is up to you.  We just want to see a great idea (or two).

The focus is to be creative, but not over-render an image.  Just an hour or two will suffice to get a cool sketch or rendering out there.

CONTEST

We’ll feature each concept on our site and select a winner.  The winner will get copies of pivotal Batman graphic novels Cacophany penned by Kevin Smith and Year One by Frank Miller.  The contest begins TODAY, March 4th, and lasts until Monday, March 14th.  We’re lucky to have Dwayne Vance be a guest judge, as well as Team CDF, as we select the best from the bunch.  Submit as many as you’d like (per the rules below).

Each entry will be evaluated on merits of cool design and sketching basics, so perspective and proportion will be important.  Will it be a classic 60′s Batmobile, a newer Tumbler-style?  Will you take a crack at Tim Burton’s Batmobile, or something completely different?

Good Luck, and have fun!
