About LinkBacksSince Pontiac has now been reduced to a niche brand, I thought they deserve some cars that are answers to questions no one asked. A Sport Utility Coupe is an example:
Turned out a little more BMWish than I would have liked. It's a pencil sketch and the design was inspired by the doodle at the bottom right. I hope you like!

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
Prius-like roof slope.
Meh. Good idea, could get a little less cheese wedge-ish.
You definitely are a talented drawer though.Last edited by 'Vette Dude; 03-16-2009 at 06:22 PM.

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
I think the trunk/hatch needs reworked a little. But holly ****, you're getting good.

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
Your craftsmanship is top-notch, but I have to break it to you that you've just designed a BMW X6...

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
The first one you've ever done that I don't care for...has an awkward "BMW-ishness" to it to my eyes.

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
First Acura. Now Pontiac?
The X6 is the answer to a question nobody asked. We don't need more answers.

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
I think it looks like a Prius SUV because of the roofline. As I said, its a great drawing, very detailed, but the design just isn't in my tastes

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
Mr. Burns, this doesn't look anything like a Prius but it does resemble an X6 though but no big deal. You art is getting so much better and everything behind the 'A' pillar is excellent. Your shading works well and I like the thumbnail at the bottom a lot. DARN NICE JOB!

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
I do see a lot of X6/That fugly Acura teaser that came up, but it looks better here. Not sure about Pontiac, though. We all know how the last 'different' SUV from Pontiac (read: Aztek) did.
You get better and better with every drawing. Seriously. It's kind of scary.
Don't hate. Appreciate.

Re: Pontiac Torrent SUC
Wow.... Your work is absolutely stunning. You have done an excellent job rendering!
The design has its pros and cons. The rear is very close to the X6, good thing that I like it!
I am not sure about the shape of the front window and the roof, it gets a little bulky looking there, the tail lights also seem a little akward. The shape is a little contrived.
I do love the rocker treatment and how it appears to flow into the front fender. Overall, great design. I'd love to see some other renditions of it!

AMAZING quality dude... AMAZING. But what is it, an MDX-X5-Aztek mix?
