Corvette fans have been spreading their message via pumpkin carving for decades and while the virtual machine sitting before us is not a 'Vette jack-o'-lantern it does get both the color and the theme right. Oh yes, this rendering takes the already-stunning-looking C3 Corvette to a whole new level.
And while there are many C3 restomods out there, coming in both real-world and rendering form, the one occupying our screens now manages to clearly stand out from the crowd while perfectly maintaining the spirit of the original - the meatier fenders of the Chevy are probably the best example here, as they accentuate the factory styling cues gracefully.

The said fenders are filled by wheels that appear more modern than the vehicle. Then again, so does the lower front apron, which seems to be adapted from the C4 incarnation of the Corvette. Of course, the memorable appearance of this Chevrolet is also owed to the absolute-zero ground clearance, which is probably a result of the machine's air suspension (the #bagged setup has gained more and more popularity over the last few years).

Moving to the posterior of this remastered American symbol, we find a ducktail spoiler that seems to have come from the same box as the front lip.

Then we have the taillights, which seem to be a bit of a riddle - are these remodeled C3 clusters or R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R lights? Such a question is only normal when it comes to the work of Khyzyl Saleem.

I've been showcasing the digital artist's 2D and 3D work since 2014, but, if you're new to his eye candy, make sure to check out the description of his Instagram post below. After all, the NFS halo car did got a SEMA build and all.

Interestingly, while most of the pixel wielder's work antagonizes purists, the said smooth integration seen on this C3 might just soften the blow...

I'd just like to say a big hello to all the new followers I've gained over the last few days, as always, im constantly blown away by all of your support! - - For those new to my page, here's a little background info about me. (Bit of a long one, sorry). - - I'm a self taught Concept Artist specializing within the Automotive world. I came from a background of Graphic Design & Digital Painting and have been making art for the past 10 years or so from the age of 16 (I'm 26). I've had the pleasure of working on some great projects so far, including @topgear, @needforspeed, @thehoonigans @kblock43 (Hoonitruck), Neil Blomkamp (Mild oats), some AAA movie titles & @dreamworks to name a few. For the last 5 years of my life I worked for EA Games, which i have since left to focus fully on my other dream, my bodykit company @lto_livetooffend. I'm not just another internet Renderer/Artist, I'm trying to establish my name within this industry & bring my work to life through LTO. I started off in Photoshop (2D), editing and photo manipulating images of Cars, gaining a further understanding of Perspective, Lighting and Coloring, developing my own style in the mean time. I found myself at a point where i was happy with my 2D skills and ventured into the world of 3D. I started off with Maya at first, trying to model a car, but it just wasn't for me. I tried 3DSmax however and things just stuck. Fast forward 2/3 years after a lot of trial and error, I managed to get quite comfortable with 3D modelling and rendering within Keyshot. Same thing happened again, so I changed to a more demanding renderer "Corona Renderer", to present my work and ideas in a new, polished style. Always trying to progress and push myself further, whilst inspiring others. You join me in a new year, where I'm full steam ahead with Freelance work, but most importantly, focusing on some rather big real world projects for myself & @lto_livetooffend this year! Thank you for your continued support as always! Just tryna do shit different! d - - #art #design #3d #lto #livetooffend #corvette #c3 #khyzylsaleem #kyza #ks #blacklist #carlifestyle #kitbash3d #slammedenuff #carthrottle #topgear #thankyou welcome
