Stunning work, just the scoops on the bonnet or something are way off.
3 pts. - Zykotec
Cool looking design and great detail, just a few lighting mistakes.
2 pts. - rookiejeno
Doesn't reach the criteria. Cool image overall though.
1 pt. - -xanforce-
Same as above, but has an awesome design.

BPC
4 pts. - Cipprik
Fastest looking, reaches the specifications.
3 pts. - RDJDesign
Great work, but it looks slow (stanced) and only has 2 seats.
2 pts. - iCreate
Needs more work on the front bumper and saying it has a twin turbo v8 or whatever isn't enough, you need to show us.
1 pt. - NS Design
A lot of problems with this one, motion blur, desaturated car and backwards writing on the seats.

ASC - I'm going to discuss this two by two, then award the points accordingly. Hugosilva and Zykotec, let me start by saying the both of you did an amazing job. I think it's fun how your chops are two sides of the same coin. Hugo's chop, as always, is detailed virtually flawlessly. While Zyko, once again, doesn't just color outside the lines, he draws new ones. Admittedly Hugo's work is of a higher standard. However Zyko really took the comp's theme to heart, and it showed. So for me it became a rather difficult decision.
So what I ended up doing is taking a step back and thinking about the intentions of the competition. This round was really meant to take the choppers out of their comfort zones and show us the versatility of an all-round chopper. With that in mind I looked at the chops again and could only conclude one thing; While I dont want to take away from Hugo's high standard, ultimately his minivan is a Time Attack car. While sadly we dont see enough of those anymore, it isn't entirely new. Visualize a slimmer roofline and a boot, and it could well be an Evo. I'm trying to find visual clues that this minivan isnt just tricked out with the same 120 horses under its hood that it always has. Put the Espace F1 next to a regular Espace and you instantly see the difference. The need to make compromises in form, knowing that just adding a formula 1 engine to an Espace isnt going to make it perform. This is something I think Zyko has done rather well. He went above and beyond to not only show us something that would outrun everything else, he also showed why. People aren't mistaking this for any old S-max at all.
Additionally I think Zyko's chop should be an example to the forum. Showing that you dont have to "comply to the norm". Take some risks, let the imagination run wild and produce something awesome. Those factors are what makes it come ahead of Hugo's (still by a narrow margin though). So, to conclude:

Zykotec - 4 points.
Hugosilva - 3 points.

Now, for the remaining two, Rookiejeno and -xanforce-. It may sound harsh but if it were up to me you'd both be disqualified. However in the interest of fairness, I have to award poins. Rookiejeno's: If I'm going to criticize Hugo for not taking enough risk and not going far enough with the theme, you would receive that criticism to a tenth degree. It doesn't even comply to the theme. I doubt it would outrun diarrhea, never mind an Espace F1. And the girl, the domo-kun plushy, really? At this level of competition? -xanforce-, while I admire your sketching talents, it is just that, a conceptual sketch. It is out of proportion and would struggle to comply to any road going standards we have for minivans. That aside, we use photoshop to really imagine which we couldn't just think up and doodle on paper. Sketches aren't going to compete with any car. It is sadly by default that Rookiejeno is ahead of you.

Rookiejeno - 2 points.
-xanforce- 1 point.

BPC - Well boys, I had to go back just now to check whether you did really get the same theme as ASC. Apparently, you did. Which I cant tell from your entries. So I'm going to throw the theme aside and just vote according to which I like best stylistically. Reluctantly.

Cipprik - 4 points.
RDJDesign - 3 points.
iCreate - 2 points.
NS Design - 1 point.

ASC
4pts - Hugo
Perfect chop in the design and the execution

3pts - Zykotec
Very original idea with the "nude" version

2pts - Rookiejeno
Great overall execution but doesn't meet the criteria

1pts - Xanforce
As always an awesome design, but this time it just looks to much like a simple sketch to me

BPC
4pts - RDJDesign
Even of the theme isn't really respected, the chop quality and atmosphere are awesome

3pts - Cipprik
Nice paint even if it need more work in some place. A lot of sportivity in the design

2pts - Icreate

1pts - NS Design

4pts. - HugoSilva, This is the most complete entry in my honest opinion, the realism on this one is tremendous. Love the race ready look to it, and the decals look properly done. We would expect something like this from you
3pts. - Zykotec, awesome engine looks fast, but the execution isn't the best.
2pts, - Rookiejeno, you just tuned a van, doesnt meet the comp criteria imo.
1pts - Looks like a hot-hatch, a awesome one, but doesnt meet comp criteria too.

BPC
4pts. - Cipprik, looks like a fast van, not really race ready, but the best of the bunch.
3pts. - RDJDesign, great looking chop, but doesnt match the theme asked.
2pts. - iCreate, looks like a quick chop, I told you should have worked the shadows to match the bg, it would look a thousand times better, and some more mods could be used.
1pts. - NS Design, Execution isn't the best specially for a BPC final, maybe you didn't have enough time.

On first impressions this is so far ahead of the rest of the competition, there's no way I could choose another chop ahead of it. When you look a bit closer you start to notice a few errors here and there - for example, the lighting is inconsistent throughout the interior, and the fact that the car looks more like a hatch back than a minivan now (I think it's due to the scale of the wheels and seats being too big compared to the body). But seriously impressive work and a good take on the theme.

3 Points = Zykotec
This is really awesome. I love the way you've peeled away the body work so we can really see what's underneath this beast! This looks like a serious weapon that would certainly give the Renault Espace F1 a run for it's money! To me, it just lacks something from an "artistic" perspective. The background is boring and sterile and the color of the road distracts me from the car. Overall I think the composition is a little mismatched. Love this take on the theme though, nearly grabbed 1st place from me.

2 Points = rookiejeno
If the theme was something along the lines of "create the coolest street minivan" yours would be right up there. Unfortunately your car looks like it could barely turn a corner, let alone tackle a race track. Execution wise it's top notch, just pay more attention to the theme next time

1 Point = -xanforce-
It's disappointing to see you didn't finish this. I think that if it was finished to a high level it would be a contender for one of the top places.

BPC

4 Points = RDJ Design
ARGHHH! So tough to choose between yours and Cipprik's, but I chose yours because of the superior execution and composition as an overall image.

3 Points = Cipprik
A really quick looking minivan which satisfies the theme nicely. Just lacks a little bit of detail compared to RDJ's which is finished to perfection.

2 Points = NS Design
This looks pretty sweet, although rushed looking and certainly not the quality I'd expect from a finalist.

1 Point = iCreate
Loving the wide look, but unfortunately that's about all I like about it. Again, this looks quite rushed and unfinished.
