I used a Rolls Royce concept sketch with a view that I liked to sketch over in Photoshop. You can save a lot of time with this method. I borrowed elements of the rear design from my last post: Cadillac Touring Sedan to use on the front of this design. This is intended to be a hybrid electric vehicle. The intersecting shapes form a traditional Cadillac grille perimeter without a texture. Most of the front is body color with minimal trim accents.
I purposely kicked the belt up like Cadillac’s had in the 60’s. I feel that it builds on their heritage, but done in a fresh way.
I took a different approach executing this concept. I sketched my design over the Rolls Royce rendering in Photoshop to rough it in as usual, but this time I overlaid pre-rendered surfaces that I had saved from previous work. I then generated Vizcom renderings from it using a reference image to get better results. I tried several Vizcom styles, with Vizcom General giving me what I was looking for. Putting in a more photorealistic reference image yielded even better results. I stated ‘dramatic sunset background’ in the prompt. I selected the best areas from 10 Vizcom renderings for the featured image.

The final result is spectacular!
Maybe sedans would make a comeback if they looked like this.
Awesome process Robert, thanks for sharing this with everyone.
