Description
Custom Charger made for a fellow owner.She wanted to see what her "Tribal Princess" would look like with a custom paint job. So I drew full body-line tribal flames and added some extra pieces (Danko Reproductions chin spoiler, GRIP Tuning side skirt, RK Sport hood, and USW Forged Stiletto rims).
Anyone who has tried drawing flames like this can appreciate the fact that the design doesn't repeat itself at all through the design.

Glad ya like it. It was a pain in the arse to design that tribal.
I have to re-render the shot though... not happy with the lighting/reflection in this anymore.

Another absolutely amazing design! You're right about the flames, they are not repeated. 
Now, I have a question. Do you start with a base model of the car and take the time to model out the different parts when you have a new design, or do you photoshop the changes?

Thank you, thank you.
I made a render just for you to answer that question... all the parts are modeled. And there's still a bunch more to do when I get some time.
Click to see the parts.

Yea I thought dA could handle code... it did everything except actually linking the thing. ha
This'll work though;

Thanks.
It makes it easier to mix & match, yea... still gotta make all the parts though. lol
Tires are a weird one... I wouldn't call them difficult, just different...
There's an easy way to do it though;
You only have to make a small section, duplicate it a bunch of times, then join the bits together [link] and use a "bend" modifier to roll it into a full circle. Add a bump map to give the sidewall some life, and boom [link] .
I use 2 bend modifiers there... one to give it a bit of a curve going left to right, and the other to roll it.
See? Simple.

I'm sure it gets for fun when you do get the mixing and matching. So many choices and cool styles! XD It's so worth it.
Oh wow!

I've only just scratched the surface on body mods... lol
I still have yet to do any rear-end mods, and there's about 4 or so kits to do there... Then there's a couple new noses that I haven't done yet (they take a while). And I think there's a few more hoods out there that I haven't done yet.
And of course the wide-body mods... mmmmm... check this out; [link]
Lots of fun still to go.

You have to admit, what you're achieved so far is pretty bamfin' (that's a good thing). I can't wait to see what you come up with next
-clinks link- -stares- mmmm.... that looks delicious -cough- I mean, that looks a-maz-zah-zing!

Well thank you.
Right now we're working on getting a couple of those hoods made up for real.
That widebody kit does look awesome, doesn't it? I want it bad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no way! You're actually making these reality?! At the same time that sounds expensive... >.>'
The wide body kit does look b@#$%in'! XD Just don't put in on the white one, because it already looks fat in white. Yes, I said it, white makes cars look fat. I have several people to back me up on that fact.

We're tryin! No reply yet from the guy who said he'll contact some people, so who knows...
I've tried asking a few fabricators but they're always busy with their own stuff.
Ha yea you're right about the white ones... even the bright silver looks fat. That's why I put the black stripes on mine... black is supposed to be slimming isn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hopefully you can get those made. Those are some stylin' parts you got goin' there.
Nice cover up. Trying to hide the fact that your car put on a few pounds versus the other ones.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks... I sure hope it works out! But I still haven't heard back from the guy.
You gotta admit - that upper black stripe makes it look at least 700lbs lighter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Keep thinking positive! He'll hear from him soon I'm sure, and if not, then he's not really that interested now is he?
700lbs lighter? I can still see thoughs love handles! I'd say maybe 500lbs.

Well I call it a she all the time, so I gues it's a girl... no name though. lol
Good news on the hood! There's another fabricator interested in making it. Got my hopes up again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You need to name her! It might sound ridiculous but she's not just a car or material item....she takes you places, and has become part of your family.
I told you to not give up hope! See? All is well if you think positive!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm with ya on naming it/her... but I think my family might have me committed if I start calling it by name.
I already get looks when I say "the Charger". heh
Looks like we're in business for the hood. WhiteBoy Hoods will be making at least one. w00t!

Awww.... come on. They'll get used to it. I call mine Jack and so does the rest of my family. Yeah at first they were like, "What did you call it?", but they ajusted. ^_^ Name away!

Ha yea true it doesn't look like a princess right now... she still has a lot she'd like to do though.
I am digging the tints all around though on her current ride.
Thanks though.
