I came up with this design the other day, inspired by the winning entry in the 2nd Peugeot Design Comp and the Lexus in Minority Report. The original sketch had a rounder and more continuous front.
This is what I scanned in for tracing:

In Photoshop I've mainly used paths and gradients, the shine is basically the only part that uses something different.

It has a very cat-like feel to me, and so has been named "Panther".

I need to add a few more lights, work on the highlights, do the mags, the grill and then maybe get into some reflections.
The perspective doesn't seem quite right but I'm not quite sure where.
It's also looking very cartoony at the moment, mainly due to the simple shading and the grill, which is something I'll be looking to change.

C&C welcome.

To me, the perspective is off towards the end, as if the car is twisted slightly in the middle. Look at the back quarter panels over the wheels, they are not in line with the front. The concept is slick, and I would love to see more work done on this, especially on the car's left side, where the 'ribs' of the panther would be, but are now deep in shadow.

Lighter version so the ribs are visible, I'll try to work on the perspective today.
