    the redesign of the rear looks cooler and depicts a look of an old school revival. the front just looks like W222 accessories mounted on the W140 body.

    • @Dr.TJ_Eckleburg
      @Dr.TJ_Eckleburg 3 года назад +9

      I think the grille and the wheels are a little wrong. It needs a refinement of the old-school grille, not a modified version of the current grille. And it needs flat-sided wheels to compliment the broad, flat panels of the body. The multi-spoke wheels don't do much for this kind of body.

  • @apesintanks162

    They should have stick to their roots like with Gwagon when it comes to S class.
    If they release w140 with slightly better lines like in this pic, throw in new tech it should be a big success.
    Gwagon is still a very damn good car that's wanted by millions.
    Thank you for taking time to do that.

    I keep rewatching this video imagining what updated interior of the w140 would look like. I wonder how you would mix the technology of these days with the beautiful smooth interior of the w140 and that amazing woof trim How a center console screen would look like... What if it was in the phone compartment at the top of the dash and when it opens a smooth sclass type screen pops up and how would that look with the wood trim.

    I admire your work and I really enjoy watching every single video of yours. As a graphic designer myself although not professional , I would share a little tip for you to make it just a bit extra realistic. *Reflections.* By just adding a layer of a very light horizontal line that goes down to the bottom of the car, onto the bumper and side of the car, it would make it a lot more believable. This will represent the ground reflection and surround.
    Keep up the good work!

Until now we have it at home, in very good condition. the reactions of people on the road in 90's were just incredible, it's like we were driving the most luxury Rolls Royce ever made.

    It looks really good but for some reason despite the changes in proportions and tweaks like the fenders and window line, which definitely help modernize it, it still almost looks like someone just took the original and just tricked it out. I think it has to do with the softness of the edges on the real car because even though this is a very boxy car on the macro scale, it seems as though it didn’t completely escape the melted cheese philosophy. Without overstyling of course, I think just a bit of added sharpness would have been beneficial and took this design to the next level.
