You know us. You know how we like to get involved in crazy and awesome projects. The following is no exception.

So there’s this car race.. and its not your average car race. and there are these awesome folks we know who happen to be building a car for this race (here is some info on their entry from last year!). Now we are collaborating with them to create a fun behemothy theme for their car for the race this year! What should this theme be.. :?: :?: Now, we’ve got a lot of ideas: make the car into a giant chicken with flapping wings and an egg cannon. Barbarian war machine. Giant Tofu. Newgrounds tank with chicken mounted in back. Etc.

But we wanted to see what YOU creative people could come up with! Tell us your craziest ideas for a Behemoth themed racecar. Think outside the box. Think epic. Think Behemoth. Attach a sketch if it will help us see your vision. You can even take one of the ideas above and run with it. The car is a 1987 BMW E30 and though we can add sound systems, lights, car modifications, whatever, in the end it 1) has to be drivable and 2) can’t actually attack the other cars in the race.

Goodies for you if we end up using your idea! And hey, if you happen to be in Garretsville Ohio in early October, come and see it maybe win! or maybe explode in a fiery car wreck! :lol:

have the shell of the car a chicken cannon, paint the windows with newgrounds characters from alien hominid and castle crashers and tofu, alien hominid guns on the hood, and tofu ammo secured to top, animal orb wheels, a bumber sticker that says the people at the behemoth forums helped make this and kelly started the thread, have master chief and the behemoth chicken doing a knunckle punch in front of an explosion on the hood, and finally put in a lambourguini engine so it can win :D :lol: (deep breath)...........o.k., I'm done

THANK YOU KELLY! :D

I can get another drawing for my portfolio AND participate in a contest at the same time! :D

Will update with idea later.

EDIT: Here is a sample I made that people can fiddle with for the car! :D

Here's an idea! For the front hood you could have the behemoth chicken wearing a racing helmet (kinda like the speed racer time) with several lamas, dino mounts behind them carrying; Game #3 guys, Castle Crashers, and some FBI enemies. On the sides you can have deer running towards the front of the car and in the very back of the sides (on both mirroring each other) have the uber/ giant troll with the mouth gaping around the back top and back sides. I'll try to post a sketch later using the template Denivire nicely provided.
EDIT: I also thought of having a castle crasher painted on the window so it looks like he's peeking through.
Picture #1 is here!

Hey guys.

I'm part of the team building the car. I've got a template you can use for Photoshopping your ideas, and it should make things much easier.

Link: http://www.deskbreaker.com/wiglaf/e30/img/Bleuprint.jpg

We want to do something that captures the distinct style of The Behemoth and their games, but at the same time is still funny for the majority of people at the race who have no idea what a video game is ;)

Also, keep in mind that the car can be physically modified. We can't launch things at other drivers or spray oil slicks or do anything that might be dangerous to the people involved, but there's still plenty of room to do something hilarious :)

Here's some pics of the car from last year, from construction all the way to race day: http://www.deskbreaker.com/drjonez/lemons/

Thank you DrJonez for addressing some of those issues.

I'm the team captain/owner and I think at this point all the basic parameters are set. Still I figured I would add a little more focus to the design:
1. Safety: We want/need as must visibility as possible for the driver, the only window glass in the car is the front windshield and it much remain completely clear. Other windows should remain fairly free of obstructions so we have rear and side visibility of other traffic.
Also remember whatever you want to make the car its gotta stay on the car. Race people don't like junk flying off cars randomly.
2. Budget: Remember this is a $500 racecar. While the theme portion is not strictly enforced in the budget review process, we can't go too overboard on materials. Think about how you could implement such a theme on a budget of 200-300 bucks cash plus as much free labor as you can have.

Okay I'll stop ranting, leave the creative stuff to the creative people. BTW anybody that is in the general Ohio area that is interested in helping out let us know. We really need people that will be willing to crew during the race itself. You'll get plenty of
1. free food
2. booze when not actually working (well officially anyways)
3. some primitive lodging (air mattress on pavement or dirt most likely)
4. hanging out with us of course.

And if that isn't enough, you also get a free t-shirt.

Any persons interested can address DrJonez as he is Minister of Propaganda and handles most of our external affairs

You could try making a Peacetank out of plywood frames that have been bolted to the side panels, painted white and given a trim of black around the corners to make it look all cell shade-y. Also it should have little cannons at the front that shoot tennis balls, or paint balls or something.

Ok what I see is A giant Behmemoth Baloon attached to the hood.I think along the right side of the truck you should put the Red,Blue,Green,Orange Knight dancing.They should have some of the crew dancing behind them to.On the Left side you should make Alien Hominid shooting at the final boss.Behind him is Player 2 jumping.The boss is just getting ready to shoot at alien hominid.I think behind the boss should be some creators dressed as FBI agents and the one on the right have a little bit of blood on the cloths (He killed a real FBI guy to help alien hominid) Back side saying Behemoth on the top left corner and Newgrounds on the right side.Under them would be some creators.On the left (proboly Tom) should be holding a rocket launcher and a little bit to the right then up should be a red missol with smoke behind it.Dan should have the :shock: eyes and looking at the missol.The rest of the crew is dancing and 2 of them are hi fiving.Now on the front there should be of course Tom and Dan High fiving in the middle.Oh and in the top right corner there should be the first ever tom and dan picture of tom jr.There should aslo be a golden chicken at the veary tip.For sound affects I think that you should make a behemoth chicken noise.(A giant chicken)Oh and for class for the thing were some people have the dice you should have a newgrounds tank.On the floor there should be a angry franic carpet and on the drivers seat there should be a flathead running.At shotgun (Seat beside front seat)There should be dad from dad and me with a purle blood backround.He has a chainsaw and looks like he is going to attack flathead.At the backseat there should be the behemoth chicken and some animal orbs (be creative pick anyoes) all scatered around it.Oh and for showoffing if you win make the behemoth chicken on the roof open its mouth and shout YES BEHEMOTH CHICKEN RULES!!!Then press the horn so it sounds like its making a chicken noise.Well i got a preaty good idea hurray :D

Isn't this the art forum? Instead of a bunch of text, DRAW US SOME PICTURES! :D

Also keep in mind that we're going for an overall THEME for the car, not just a bunch of random Behemoth characters spray painted all over it. You guys just aren't thinking epic enough :)

For instance, here was one of Dan's ideas:

http://www.deskbreaker.com/drjonez/lemo ... sketch.jpg

Not just painting chickens on the car, but turning the entire car into a giant chicken. See what I mean? ;)

Good ideas so far though, keep them coming!

Ok then.. :D I somehow misread the plan so let me think more EPIC.
EPICNESS IS HERE!!
This is just the prototype and in the first picture I just got lazy of drawing the fur/face again. Heh :lol: The idea is that the car could be sculpted into the giant troll. On the top, with some handy wiring and plumbing a hose will be inside the deer and will shoot out a steam of water.
Is that epic enough for you?

The self-propelled deer was one of my first ideas back when this whole thing started, but it'd be a lot of work to setup a whole system for spraying fake poo out the back. Not to mention that we can't really wet the track down due to safety concerns, and toting around a bunch of water would add a ton of weight to the car, slowing us down.

The troll car isn't bad :lol: Where would we find that much black shag carpeting though? :shock:

Tis only why I said prototype. Lol maybe then take out the water part...
With the shag... I know a guy... Not really but I wish :(
