Concepting is hard in 3D if you aren't extremely familiar with toolsets. It might be worth taking renders into photoshop and just scribbling on them with lines and colors. As rendered, B and C are vastly different it terms of what this character is. Are you going for pin-up or something else?
great work so far. Front bumper is very well done and the headlights are nice too. Only issue right now are the side windows and b-pillar being very flat. I looked up some reference pics and they should be more convex imho.
There's also this thread: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138341 Since you'll technically be using the models for profit though, before you try to use anything from there you should probably contact the authors individually and: A. ask permission. B. offer compensation.
Sounds like as good a place as any to start. I'm pretty bad when it comes to drawing/design. Since I'm at a strictly anatomical part of the sculpt right now, I guess I'll start by copying my anatomy book page for page :B
Just a heads up:) Sectaurs, myself and Meisse played a lunch. Was a blast! I loved when one of us would try to heal a team mate then hit the wrong key and BOOM dead. The game is definitely worth picking up. $10 is a steal. B

One day we'll run out of words and have to start using a number system instead. "Hey Joe, did you play X4920 yet?" "No man, been playing B342 a ton lately." "Oh man, that's a classic! B, and only three digits!"
