Sounds like you did a lot of this…

Gran Turismo 5

Subaru, sounds like you guys had a great time these days with the BRZ.

To me I sounds like you guys probably did a lot of this: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I like how you guys listened to your fans and ‘[gave] the people what they want.’ But I dont think this was the necessary way to do it. Here’s the article:

 AWD TURBO CONVERTIBLE TWO-SEATER
DIESEL HYBRID BRZ 

Cherry Hill, N.J., -  Bowing to continued media and internet speculation, Subaru of America has confirmed that it will launch an AWD Twin-Turbo Convertible two-seater Diesel Hybrid BRZ for sale in 2015. The new model essentially takes all of the media and internet rumors surrounding the highly successful BRZ sports car and delivers them in one fell swoop.

A spokesman for the company said: “Having just launched the current model to widespread critical acclaim, we are tired of fighting off the constant speculation about what’s “next” and so we are just giving in and delivering all the speculation in one vehicle.”

In the sense of cost effectiveness to give the people what they want; we sure got it all in one package. But I personally think it would have been better to knock heads and did it in a seemingly orderly manner whereas people would still be critiqing in small bits than ‘all in one package.’

I can see this coming BRZ to be either the biggest flame ball of the web or the hottest seller. I have no idea. I think it’s too rash of a move.

I personally think you’re doing it wrong. I enjoy innovations and the idea. But just pulling it off like this. No. Just stop there.

Please, to all manufacturers, refrain from doing more this. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

(I HOPE THIS IS NOT AN EARLY APRIL FOOLS)

So, I started my Itachari project. I chose Rin Kagamine to be the character due to the color characteristics and theme of the new bike. Hard, bold flowing black and yellow colors and nice soft cadence (meaning the ride).

Started off with the template and a picture and worked my way.

Me being me, I can barely draw any character on my own so I have to grab a picture and either replicate or recharacterize using different face/body parts from different characters. This time since this is just the bike and to introduce the idea. I just simply traced (NOT LIVE TRACE) and just filled in the colors with layers upon layers. I’m going to focus on the eye’s a bit more than original to personalize it and change her overall color a bit darker so she could print properly. This will finish up quite well I’d say.

While all this is happening…I’m still working on making the Itasha. But since I still inexperienced with drawing human figures… This is still in the drafting process after how many months did I decide this?

If anyone wants to donate their time and use my car as an animation/graphic design promotion. I’m willing to hear you out. E-mail me. As the designer/artist you get to pick up to 4 areas of the car your name and/or webpage will be posted. 5th area will be the rear windshield. I want this done for Anime Expo.

[edit] I’m gonna get a big fat bow for the bike. That is all.

I live near Toyota HQ and occasionally spot one or two Pre-production vehicles
and maybe one in wraps. However tonight I spotted this curious thing. It wasn’t
exactly wrapped or anything, just taped..
Just going by the lines of the lights I was thinking maybe Camry but it was
bombarded by LEDs, in the headlights and tail lights, so I’m thinking Lexus.
Anyway. It was quieter than the Prius I was in so I’m thinking Toyota/Lexus EV?
It would make alittle sense considering Toyota has a joint partnership with
Tesla on EV development and that Tesla just released the Model S.
Of course this was just me speculating.

I’m sending this blog writeup over to FLD just like the Corvette post two years ago.
