I have this friend, who owns a big car import, and he told me that he was gonna start a drift team next year, and he wanted me to do the cars graphics.
This is how his S15 looked before I started:
So, this is the progress. From start to end.
FOERST, I went to take some pictures of the car to make the graphics on, so that I know they will be the right size and proportions.
After taking those pics, I started drawing it in Flash, so that the colors would be better, more clean reflections etc.
Outlined FOERST:
Then I colored it:
Now I had a template to use, so I spent hours on talking with my friend, and the guy who's going to drift the car next year, and we finally came up with a design that we all liked.
So FOERST I made a viewer friendly version, so they could see what it was going to look like when done:
Then I had to do a printer friendly version, that means no reflections or anything like that in the vinyl:
After that, we had to decide how the rear of the car had to look, so I drew a very quick, and way less detailed pic of the rear
And made a printer friendly design to begin with:
And then I waited.
And just here, 1½ hours ago, I saw my design in real life for the FOERST time! It was so amazing to see!
Here are the pics of the finished result:
That's my name :q:
If everything goes right, this design will be on 6 cars by the beginning of 2010.
Those fenders are hideous and I'm glad the vinyl helps hide them. I don't like that style on real JGTC cars, much less those fake ones on a stock ride height (or nearly so) street car. And the S15 never even ran under the rules that allowed them to be that ugly anyway.
