Batmobile Design Competition: WINNER!
Congratulations to Paul Denton for winning the Batmobile Design Competition! Paul's rendering, seen above, captures that "bad ass" feel of the Dark Knight: it's moody, menacing, and full of drama. ...

SideQuesting.com and concept designer/automotive designer Dwayne Vance, of Future Elements, are announcing a new art & design contest for the hot rod fan in all of us!
Starting April 26th, artists and designers are encouraged to create a videogame- or futuristic-themed hot rod using whatever means they have. Sketches, renderings, and models are all welcome, and will all be rated equally.
The contest brings together art, design, automobiles, and interactive entertainment. What would a hot rod for Master Chief look like? How about a hot rod for Final Fantasy? The choice is yours, so be creative!
The overall winning entry receives a copy of Dwayne’s newest book, The Hot Rod Art Book: Masters of Chicken Scratch Volume 2, two signed limited edition prints, and a limited t-shirt. Second and third place entries will receive limited-edition prints from the book. All entries will be compiled in a gallery and featured on SideQuesting.com.
Full rules & inspiration below, and please visit and support Dwayne’s book on Kickstarter.com!

Our sister site at SideQuesting.com is running a light cycle design competition, as you may have seen in our post about it last week. Well, the first few sets of submissions are in, and they’re pretty damn cool.
Head on over and take a gander… you have until April 10th to enter one for yourself.
Congratulations to Matt Gould for winning the Batmobile Design Competition’s International portion! Matt created a classically-inspired Batmobile in 3D Studio Max, utilizing basic 3D construction techniques to capitalize on the sleek curves of vehicles in the early 1960s. It’s very simple and elegant, like a rocket-ship on 4 wheels. Perfect for hunting the speedy Catwoman!
Congrats to Matt, and THANK YOU to everyone who submitted, both from the US and internationally! Thanks to Dwayne Vance for judging the incredible amount of international entries!

Congratulations to Paul Denton for winning the Batmobile Design Competition! Paul’s rendering, seen above, captures that “bad ass” feel of the Dark Knight: it’s moody, menacing, and full of drama. The sketch technique is loose and intriguing, and the vehicle’s design is well-though out… It’s as if the car lurks in the shadows, stalking Batman’s prey. The smoke emitting from the side exhaust, something that Denton had in his other two sketches, makes it almost seem like the Batmobile is smoking after a night of satisfactory Joker-murder.
It’s awesome, pure and simple.
Congrats to Paul, and THANK YOU to everyone who submitted! It was an extremely tough decision, which took us right down to the final moments of the selection. Thanks to Arvind from DrivenMavens for helping us select, and for Dwayne Vance, who is doing something a little special for our international entries (more on that in a later post).
