Interview With Detroit Motors Car Design Winner, Carbofos

Interview with Dmytro Zyubyairov, aka "Carbofos"
Winner of LM’s Detroit Motors Competition
Designer of “Michigan”



AFC: Hello! Congratulations on your win. Were you surprised to receive the phone call from Jay when he told you the good news?

DZ: Hello Ariel. Thanks for congratulations, I'm very appreciated. The phone call was surprising because I didn't expect the first place.



AFC: What was your inspiration for the “Michigan” design?

Michigan by Dmytro Zyubyairov

DZ: The idea of designing a shooting brake was interesting and challenging for me, I never did it before and always wanted to try. So the image of "rusty" industrial environment and a vehicle, as a contrast to it, appeared in my mind as a starting point.

AFC: What is your favorite feature of the design?

DZ: Clean, simple, complete image and balanced proportions.

AFC: Your rendering style is excellent and received many compliments from within the LM community. There have been many requests for a tutorial from you; do you think you will do it?

DZ: Well, in fact the technique is very simple. No special effects, just blocking colors and then refining the quality. Hopefully I'll have time to develop a tutorial and share some points about visualization methods.

AFC: What were your favorite Detroit designs by other LM members?

DZ: "Vigilant" from Piero
