Here’s my take on the 1986 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat. This vehicle features the iconic 70’s style Ford Free Wheeling graphics package that was available from 1977 to 1981 but suits the 1986 model very well. This is just one of the many Free Wheeling variations you could get back then. It features panel sunset fade stripes on the sides that go up and around the doors with double bright red and orange pinstripe on each panel to bring out the trucks body lines with added chrome trim like in the real photo below.
Here’s my take on the Cuda. It is a replica of an irl Cuda which was recently auctioned off.
The car features a metallic brown paint and white sections. These sections are filled with highly detailed lacework, as close as possible to the real car. In addition, brown fades to outline the white are present as well.
Here’s my take on the newly released 1972 Chevrolet K10 Custom. I went with a different route and turned it into a 70’s style street truck. The truck features panel paint and side stripes with white double pinstripes and fades throughout with staggered tires to give it a nice hot rod stance and Cragar wheels with tire lettering. I took a lot of influence from the real life picture below.

Well that’s a bit of a kick in the teeth. So my paint with 16 likes from the other experienced painters that view this page wasn’t deemed worthy of a place among the winners by your judges….wow. Great way to put people off entering your comp. Seriously I’ve seen this a few times now both with myself and with others and I’d love to know the reasons why it wasn’t picked or is it just something personal against me?
I don’t think anyone has a vendetta against you, but I do agree having a basic outline of how each design is judge would be beneficial. Are the decisions subjective per the judge(s), or based on firm criteria like design composition, technical skill, color palette, visual engagement, etc. Are original works preferred over replicas (vice versa)? How are novice works compared to professional?
Congratulations to the winners and participants by the way. The bar gets higher and higher.
Thanks. Yes I agree with what you say about how things are judged. I know whenever I’m a judge on a comp I often download designs and view them in photo mode so I can get a good look at all the details and try to be as objective as possible but I appreciate that that is quite time consuming and not always how other judges do it.
In this instance though Max has been in touch with me and explained why my design could not be selected which I really appreciate him doing. Hopefully I’ll be able to submit again in the future and give it another go.
Also congrats to the winners. As painters we all know how much time and effort goes into each of the designs that are submitted here and there’s some awesome work on show every week
I know the feeling. It happened about 4 times or something that I’ve gotten the most or almost the most upvotes but didn’t get chosen for livery of the week. The first time It happened my thoughts went like yours at first. But then I thought; Ego is the enemy. There are so many criteria to pick Designs on. The upvotes I got may have been from people that are just friendly to me. New painters also deserve a feature. I would have a very hard time to judge the Designs, because what am I going to base my judgement on? Originality? Quality? How hard they are to make? Having not only racing liveries being featured? There’s a person on the other side making a hard choice between my Design and another one and they have their own criteria which seem sensible or fair to them. I smile at having these jealous idea’s, feeling like I should be among the winners. Now it’s not even a thing that comes up. I’m just happy for the winners. I’m not saying this to sound smart, just honest about my own banana peels, I hope these thoughts that helped me, might also help you. And to say that you are not alone in this. It’s great Max contacted you. And I have seem some win the next week after they didn’t get chosen the previous week.
Also congrats to this week’s winners. I love that All gas, no brakes from @Archduke67 And the very different Design from @G_de_racer
And the ones that didn’t win: @cvbnxx with that awesome idea of remaking the google truck. @Speedyzin57 For actually Designing his own livery and typography for the logo, that’s very impressive. @dolphinoid For that very beautiful, cool and original Two Tone Rebel livery (also one of my favorites for this week). And all the other entries that I didn’t name.
Personally I would choose all the people who actually Design themselves and not use other peoples images as the main focus of their livery. But that would be a bad idea because only professional Designers then can win and I would exclude so many. And do the people who download the liveries care about originality? So, yeah, respect for the judges each week and thanks for their time.
Thanks a lot!!! I’m so glad to have won this week’s competition! Congrats to all the painters! Seriously, we had some awesome liveries and congrats to the judges each week for managing to choose just 5 liveries between all the amazing jobs done!!!
