Futuristic C3 concept
So I know this topic gets kicked around a bit around here... especially when the C7 came out. I also know this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I have had this rolling around in my head for a while. So with some down time.. and a touch of insomnia I came up with this:
I thought I would share, I'm working on the rear view also.. hopefully its not too cartoon-ish

Here "Ya" go..........
You've gotten a great start.....
Great emblem...........
Front grill........style is great.....
Some suggestions....................
Fenders.....seem incomplete at the small lower section in front of wheels...............fenders look great to the rear of wheels.....
(Would like the hidden headlights revived in some form....the fender-style lights are great, but they take away from the true Corvette style)
Hood intake.........good style/eye-catching, but too high by 50%
Windshield.....needs some heigth.....draw an arc that starts at the leading edge of the hood/grazes the front-top of the lowered intake/continues past the roof/Raise the windshield-leading edge of the roof-line to touch the arc.
Roof shape.........reduce the center valley by at least 50%
Post the rear view when you get time!

I see you have a chrome accent on the front. I would suggest you move it up to the front edge like the 68-72 cars. A thin chrome accent would be nice. Same for the rear. Not a direct copy, more like a tasteful reminder.
The roof to windshield distance seems too high.
I agree about the hood bulge too.
Good start, Keep going.
