If you've signed up for the November 4th meet at Camelback you may have noticed a little contest we're putting on to design a tC. We're even allowing for two-tone paint!!

Are there any rules you ask? Why of course there are.

- All entries must be built from the accessories menu at Camelback Scion.
- The unit will be a Classic Silver Metallic tC with Manual Transmission
- Two tone color MUST be a current color, used in the USA, by Toyota.
- All entries must be submitted NO LATER THAN November 1 for judging.
- Entries that include two-tone paint must include a picture depicting the paint scheme.

Everyone is welcome to enter their idea and the winning entry will win a set matching socks and underwear, chosen from the summer wardrobe of Mr. Bryan Lonsberry!** Not just ANY socks and undies, these are the more interesting items that his laundry service gave up on! Imagine the hours of entertainment! The icebreaker potential! This prize would make a better coffee table book than ANY coffee table book ever! (Autographing is available, at an additional charge)

Don't miss this opportunity to own a small piece of Scion history and, possibly, trace amounts of Bryan!

**Winner may choose, at their descretion, to accept a different prize with a cash value not to exceed $100.00US

 

So you pretty much need photo shop to do this one?

 

Or some Crayola Crayons... or know someone that can Photoshop your idea.

We know this contest isn't for everybody. That's why we're giving a MUCH BETTER prize away to someone that contributes to the FOOD DRIVE.

 

Cool Mark, Thanks. I can drawn up a tC. But I doubt I have Toyota color Colored pencils. LOL.

 

Just give them a rough sketch of what you want and have a key on your sketch showing what the color should be. I have some ideas for mine, but just not sure what direction to go.

Mark, can I sketch my design and then scan it onto the computer? Or does it have to be in some particular format?

 

Oh, and how creative can we get with the two-tone? I understand the meaning of two-tone, so, yes I get it can only be two colors.....just curious as to how crazy we can get with the design?

 

Hey Mark are we allowed to use any of the aftermarket wheels that you guys sell there or do we have to stick with whats on Scions' site?? Now all of the accessories can be found on line too right on Scion.com??

 

You worry about the accessories Chris, I will destroy all with my paint scheme.

 

Oh just wait I have some ideas too.... well trying to figure what would look great....

 

I dont do photoshop, I do pencil and paper

How about if we were all to be able to do a scheme on the same starting picture. Does anyone have a tc blank picture they could distribute via email?
Just a thought because I cant draw a car worth a crap anymore but I can do graphics tho.

 

Yeah, I think we should all start from the same canvas, just a black and white tC.

 

Chris thats what i was going to do was use pencil and paper since I haven't mastered changing graphics and color in photoshop....like BJ....lol

 

Google Images is your friend.

I was going to take a profile picture of my tC and use the Cartoon feature to get it blank. I can e-mail that to some people if they want.

I agree though, paper and pencil. As far as my sketches go, still old school for sure!
n2htwlz is going to be in on this, oh boy....now there is some competition!

 

HAHAHA...

** has photoshop open***

 

can we get a link to the accessories please?

 

how can we two tone?

using the same line everyone does?

can it be elaborate paint scheme?

ie... airbrushed pictures of stuff in toytoa colors

or just a very standard two tone


i got lots of ideas

maybe one day ill bring my lapi to camelback and try some ideas out on you guys

 

As long as it's recognizable as a tC and you don't mind not getting it back once submitted, you can build a clay model if you want.

Let yourself go people!

 

 

Thanks J. That was perfect.

I don't want to limit anybody to this format though. Don't worry about being shown up by a PS job, if your idea is the right one, you will win.
