Post TRDL Tribute - K.I.T.T. Redesign
Image

This piece was done for the R3 Designer Jam, the theme being a challenge to redesign Michael Knight's famous 'black T-top' K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider.

I'm sure I surprised absolutely no one with my choice here. However, i mildly surprised myself by actually fairly successfully drawing a MINI that LOOKS like a MINI. Cars are not my forte. I know it's black black black (well, not really, but dark dark dark) but that's the look I was after. Squint! See if you can find the hidden TRDL logo.

You can see this illustration herein the TRDL Tribute Gallery.

What's the prize if we get it right???? Is the prize doubled if we find both sets?
Actually I was expecting the logo in the windows for some odd reason. Or maybe Michael had been shopping in the TRDL store and had bought a license plate holder. Barring that, then in the sweeping lights of the front grill, never did I expect the lamps of the headlights but it's perfect.

And how about the astounding R3 coincidentary of two HAL 9000 quotes in one posting day!

Well, I've studied that picture up and down and I can't find the other easter egg. Though the first one, the logo hidden in the headlights, that one went right past me, cause I just figgered those were the yellow part of any headlight! TRICKY!

Alls I see otherwise is the stripes of 3 next to the little red light in front of the side mirror, might that be the third easter egg?

hahaha you're just counting voids, not reveals... the spacers in between the raised chromed pieces of that badge. So you share get the TRCL-witness points as well!
