AF World Challenge GT-R

[freakmech]

Well i was really excited to read this thread...
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=480331

Then i found out they are planning to enter the 06' Speed Channel World Challenge which is my favorite US series. There is probably going to be a contest of some sort as posted in original thread but i want to do this regardless as i think it will be fun. Plus i need to get my creative juices flowing again so this is a fictional car.

I started with the Tamiya Nismo Z-tune kit which is primed and painted Tamiya Pure White. Then i threw that into Photoshop and ive been playing around with some ideas. This was the first idea i had and im pretty happy with it but im going to try a few different things and see what i like best. Then i will print out decals and build the car. I have some info on the car but i dont know what hood , wing, and wheels they will be use=ing but there supposed to post some pics in a week or two as the cars are at the paint shop right now. Also im trying to keep it some what simple because they would have to use vinyl decals.

Please give me some feed back.... this is new to me and suggestions would be great. Enjoy!




or maybe simple like this... kinda growing on me...



This ones kinda generic but what the hell...

Wow, what a quick start. I like the graphics!

[freakmech]

Did some tweeking and i kinda like this simpler approach to the first.



And this has always been a favorite of mine.... the broken line. this is really sloppy and i freehanded it, ill tweak this one for sure.

I like the first scheme in your second post. Simple but attractive. I'm curious, why are you making the graphics red instead of blue? AF has been traditionally blue and white, right?

[tyndago]

Red is faster.

Yes red is faster haha. Also, Sean told me that the interior is slated to be red so thats why ive been going with that. The real car was affiliated with Buddy Club which had a red, black and white scheme.

The real car was actually first the Fujitsubo car running the 23 number in 2001. Then it ran as the Leyjun car - number 63.

The Buddy Club stuff was because we have some friends over there at Buddy Club in the US , and we liked the scheme. Red/Black/ and white.

Sorry i miss interpreted what you had told me. That makes more sense now that i look at the Fujitsubo car. thanks for the clarification.
