DJax's Livery Thread

Thanks a ton for the positive input man - to answer about my created logos, I probably do them far more complicated than I need to as many of them are color matched to the base layer vinyl… FM3/4 habits… so it’s kind of hard to explain because I eyeball everything and I just stack and skew basic shapes until i’m absolutely comfortable with it. Thus why I haven’t shared any of those to make it complicated to tell others that they must be the correct RGB base or it’ll look weird and such.

Again thank you, and do enjoy! Cheers

wow nice work again!!

Since I said I retired my Sam Adam’s Corvette from the league/series i’m in, here’s the replacement Porsche GT1… and because it’s a Porsche. Of course it’s a psychedelic! Although nothing really carried over from my 918 liveries, besides the area around the number circle on the sides and the number itself. It’s a fun livery to do!

I won’t be sharing this one, because it’s a personal car. I hope everyone is having a good day!

Love you 918 Psychedelic livery!! I have been looking for it some time ago and I did not find it. I though to do it by myself but I am not really good at doing liveries haha Thanks for doing and sharing it!

Here is a set I made yesterday with some pics!

I saw the 1966 Heritage Edition Ford GT and kind of got inspired to do it. I hope you fellas enjoy it!

Really interesting mate. Plain as table salt, but well executed and looks a treat.

Here’s what i’ve been trying to do for the last month in my spare time, which is the Manor Oreca P2. I’m not so sure this is ever going to get done… because the more I fiddle with it, the worse it becomes… because the palette is a mess. The sides are the opposite sides inner fender(s), and vice versa… other parts it’s either extremely stretched, or it’s somewhere else, or it totally dominates the area. It’s a Forza painters nightmare, to be honest.

And here’s my Racing GT League GT-R.

Hey Ajax, is the Racing GT-r up for sharing? Very interesting look mate. Good luck in the league…

Hey bigdjax

Just thought that I would stop by & let you know that you have some beautifully sharp designs in your gallery. I really love the Corvette and the new Ford GT.

The GT is a straight up nice and clean design very well executed.

Will be back soo to see what else you are doing.

Really appreciate your designs I have only ever really dabbled with the paint shop but you have inspired me to find my car and give it a go

Unfortunately, The GTR is not up for sharing, as it has decal sets where a friend helped me out to meet deadline. Cheers

Never mind mate, great job just the same. Excellent looking rig and great racing livery…
Let us know when your next WIP is approaching final stages mate…looking forward to it.

OZ

Love the Oreca WIP!
Really hope you can get that finished off!

I’ve been working on this throughout the week, and I thought i’d share the progress. I saw that it was 15 years since Gran Turismo 3 came out, and I had that nostalgic moment reading that… the surprise of that first hidden F1 car you get. I had an absurd amount of time invested in that game, as well as a lot of memories. I just remember it being a white/purple car and i’m pretty positive it was the McLaren MP4/4 clone, the F688/S… so I found a couple Camera-to-Dinosaur TV pics on the internet, so i’m going off that… sadly, wish I could find clearer images.

I am pretty dang happy how this one is turning out. It may be a Gran Turismo car in Forza, but Forza wouldn’t exist without Gran Turismo.

Since the ForzaRC league thing starts tomorrow, because of this I gathered motivation make a livery for the 2015 Mustang, and i’ll try to make something for each of the cars for the week of the event. I wanted to do the ole’ Mustang that spawned with the Tim Allen/Steve Saleen partnership in the late 90’s - and so I did… since it’s not a racecar though, I just made Home Improvement decals ( they’re on the real car, anyway )… also It’s the first time i’ve created something like it as I prefer a traditional livery, I know it’s not 100% accurate to the thing, but I am however really proud of how it turned out!

Keyword 1: Racing
Keyword 2: Throwback

Cheers fellas!

Really, really really nice tribute my friend, an excellent way to celebrate the Union of those two car nuts that spawned the great Saleen

You certainly know how to capture the essence of the era, even on a current model,'Stsmg.

While I know the 2016 Mustang is a tribute to the great '64-5 model. Same Tri-glass rear lights, no obvious badging img other than the Blue Oval on the dash hidden away. You will only see it when it’s reflected on the windscreen like HUDs.

Looking forward to seeing what you’ll be putting out, especially with the GTHO Phase III.

Those cars just don’t lend themselves to creative design. And we’re often just painted artfully in one colour or a great looking Two-Tone with a neat double pinstripe to break the two tone up.

They rarely had anything other than a true race livery. There was the odd occasion someone would do a full artwork on them, but due to their instant popularity, and almost instant rise in the world of collectable vehicles, no one would even be tempted to ‘butcher’ them by putting anything other than factory trim on them

Or another great racer, who’s car is still alive and breathing in Bryant. Agin, Google is your best friend.

Do some googling and you’ll find some great liveries from the Ford Racing Teams of Allan Moffat, John Goss, and other like minded Ford revheads over here ‘Downunder’…

I’ll certainly nab some as they come out, as I hope to at least get the HO as a participant prize. As to be truthful, that’s all I want from the ESL Forza Racing Championships.

Just re the ESL, I tried joining the cup that was to start tomorrow your time for several days, and then all of a sudden, it disappeared off the Race Lists, leaving just the 4.

Does anyone know why that happened. They said it is to start on the 8th and that registration was to finish on the Friday. I’ve been trying to register since my Friday night, your Thursday morning of the 4th PDT. But alas, to no avail. Any clues would be helpful.

I know it doesn’t matter, as you can enter any of them. They don’t have to be concurrently entered …

But it’s more a query as to why.?
