Message Of course certain designs came first; manufacturers draw inspiration from other cars all the time. Here in Japan there's an S15 model that's styled to look like a Ferarri 456, and it was openly marketed as such:




I reiterate: the negative things people had to say about what you were doing were more so directed at your method (i.e. gluing paper to the body of a car,) not your design.

If you can find a way to execute it in a manner that's clean and structurally sound, it'll probably look great, but paper and dirt are not the ways to do it. You know this, which is why you're trying to reassure yourself by attempting to validate what you're doing to a bunch of random dudes on the internet.

In the end, as an artist, it's your right to be the judge of your own work. If you like the way it looks, and if you had fun making it, then it's all good. However you have to ask yourself, if you're not going to do something the right way, the way you know it should be done, then why bother doing it?
