Ok so due to technical and personal problems i have not been able to post any threads for a couple of months so todays is going to be a big one, all of these designs shown here have all been featured as livery contest winners so lets start at the begining of march, I was asked on facebook to do a Paul Walker tribute paint on the nissan gtr,(some one saw my michael schumacher tribute and really liked it) i was quite excited by this as i had never had a request before

Next up came a paint that was inspired by good friend and amazing painter Stuzib85, for you that doesnt know Stu does a twitch paint tutorial every wednesday night 9pm uk (Twitch) that week he was doing a Walter White portrait from Breaking Bad, despite all the peer pressure from a lot of friends i never got around to watching breaking bad, but watching stu create this awesome paint my intrigue went too far and i finally sat down and started watching it, instantly i understood all the furore and hype and low and behold there was a spin off ‘better call saul’ now i admit i still havent gotten around to watching that yet but i was rather taken by the character so i decided to paint him, and so my spin off from stu’s paint

about this time the fast and furious 7 dlc came to xbox, wanting to cash in on the car pack to follow i started to paint the 7 character line up, to do all 7 on one side of the car would of restricted me to about 400 layers a head this immediately became a quality problem as it was just not possible, so 4 characters in and running at an average of 700 layers each, i had to stop, so on the charger (and a whole bunch of others) i give you my furious 7 paint, currently my most popular paint with 6.5k downloads

now comes confession time, im a big fan of Jay and silent Bob and the whole view askew-niverse, now in clerks 2 is a very talented and incredibly beautiful actress called Rosario Dawson, i had no idea who she was or what her back catalogue was so i checked her out and didnt realise she was in sin city, amazed at how even more beautiful she was in that flick i decided to paint her, originally i wanted to put her on the chevy corvette but the chrome just kept on getting in the way, so i was looking for something destructively racey to compliment her character Gail so i put her on a Lexus LFA

not satisfied with one beautiful lady i tried another, the star of so many of my childhood fantasies (no shame there) and on a car that is worthy of being labelled the fastest ship in the galaxy. Slave costume princess Leia

my other sports personality is the most talented footballer the world has ever seen i wanted to put him on a car from his home country but Argentina arent renowned for car manufacturing and there was nothing from the Barcelona either, so i though about some of his attributes, small fast nimble and great control, the lotus Exige seemed to fit the bill

finally my last offering of the day (and hopefully my next contest win) is one that has given me both a lot of love and a lot of hate (both on social networks), i understand why the controversy but please judge me on the paint not the subject, hes black hes white hes bad but the kid is not his son (possibly my best work yet)
