Like a lot of us, Andy Blackmore draws cars – except he does
it really, really well. Blackmore, a designer at the EA Black Box studio
in Vancouver who once worked for McLaren, spends his days putting
down incredibly detailed visions of American muscle, tuner imports
and exotics – freehand, no less. In Need For Speed Carbon, Blackmore
has added 200 new works of art to the game’s lineup.
In the Need For Speed Carbon shop, players who love to get their
hands dirty can use the revolutionary new Autosculpt™ toolkit to
tweak body shapes, hoods, intakes, vents and every other detail of
the masterpieces created by Blackmore and fellow designer Mike
Hayes. Or they can build eye-popping whips of their own. The best
part of working in the digital realm, as Blackmore puts it: “In the real
world, you have to worry about legality.”
