I’ve got to say it feels a bit strange to now be voting on these as it’s honestly not felt like a competition, more just great fun seeing so many superb designs and being a part of it.

I’ve also want make a special mention to Pat the Cat for his superb Pink Panther livery. I had two ideas in mind for this comp, one was the a Marvin design as I’ve always wanted to do one with him. And the other was a Pink Panther design that’s I was going to do on a TVR, I was even thinking of having Clouseau following footprints around the back of the car. So needless to say I was a wee bit spooked when I saw yours as it’s so close to what I was thinking of doing myself but I love it, awesome work

It was very hard to choose and I agree with The Sly Jedi that it didn’t feel like a competition but as a party. That being said, here are the ones that I liked most / I would like on my car / professional / intricate to design / original / etc… It really is hard to choose.

First selection Round. I’ve graded all the liveries. These where on top (in no particular order).
One piece - Griotte88
Naruto - Griotte88
Samurai Pizza Cats - SnakeEyes Friex
Dungeons and Dragons Tiamat - SnakeEyes Friex
Masters of the Universe - SnakeEyes Friex
Captain Harlock - Eno66
Felix the Cat - PTGDistrict
TMNT - SnakeEyes Friex
Wacky Races: Dick Dastardly & Mutley - FullCafLizard
One Cab’s Family - RTT_Farfadet
RCC Van - The_Sly_Jedi
Gundam Seed Destiny - MtnManJo

These are my final Choices. Especially the last spots could have been different on a different day. Hard to choose. And should I put in one person two times? With 4 nominations I judged that it would be fair.
1 Masters of the Universe - SEFX
2 One Piece - Griotte 88
3 Dungeons and Dragons - SEFX
4 RCC Van - The Sly Jedi
5 Felix the Cat - PTG_District

What, wait, we have to vote?? Dayum, I was hoping someone else would have to do that. This is truly a Herculean task (or should that read He-Manulean task), all the work, detail and effort is absolutely incredible!

Here’s my list, but honestly I could have listed them all. In the end I chose those that resonated with me and my cartoon watching days, but really, incredible work everyone and thanks for having me here:

Marvin the Martian - The Sly Jedi
The Pink Panther - FRDT_Pat_theCat
Masters of the Universe - SnakeEyes Friex
Simpsons - FormFirm
Gundam Seed Destiny - MtnManJo

PS, what happened to Oliver0023’s Super Mario Brothers, I was really looking forward to that.

Even though cartoon designs aren’t closest to my heart I still found this to be such a cool contest! There’s so many incredible designs here with so much talent and amazing paint techniques. I thought I’d give my votes and some comments along with them. I feel like this kind of theme easily ends up with a highly skilled artwork of the cartoon that just gets slapped on the car. So I was focusing more of how well the theme is built around the car itself and the creativity around the theme. And also of course based on my personal taste of style.

  1. The Simpsons - FormFirm

This really stood out for me. I love that it’s not just copying the characters but it’s got more of a creative approach. The paint brush style looks amazing and there are many clever details. And what’s important to me is that the whole design works great on the car and it’s not just a canvas. It’s got great balance and flow with the lines of the car. I could imagine this being a real livery.

  1. Masters of the Universe - SnakeEyes Friex

First of all, a perfect choice of car for the theme. Amazing work with the characters and the castle and I also really like that purple background. Very solid look overall and nothing seems like out of place. This could be official merch toy car, lol.

  1. Dungeons and Dragons Tiamat - SnakeEyes Friex

This is pretty much what I said in the beginning, a great artwork that is just slapped on the car. But somehow it actually works really well here. The dragon(s) look incredible and I like that coming out of frame effect on the roof. Base color is fits really well and the details on hood, trunk and sides are maybe the thing that wraps it all together. Also great choice of car with that bodykit for this theme.

  1. Gundam Seed - MtnManJo

This one also got that balance with the livery and the car itself. Great work on those main elements, they got that cartoon look done right. Those backgrounds are also top quality and I especially like that space theme on the rear.

  1. One Cab’s Family - RTT Farfadet

This maybe isn’t on the top what comes to difficulity and technicality of the liveries in the contest but somehow, maybe even for my own surprise, I think this deserves to be in top5. And don’t get my wrong I still see a lot of talent and skill in the design and I like that it isn’t too cramped. Perfect choice of car and colors. The design is balanced and nothing feels out of place. And of course the fact that it’s really adorable, lol. With this one I also got that feeling this could be a real livery. Maybe a vintage promo car that ends up being sold in an auction for a ridiculous price.

So that’s my top5. It was tough to choose when there were so many amazing liveries. There was like 3-4 cars that could have just as easily be on my list. Great job everyone!

The DnD design I entered wasn’t what I wanted to create… I had some trouble with opening vinyl groups 2 weeks ago… so I couldn’t get the design to where I wanted… now that my game is working fine…

I’ll share this design ingame later this weekend :smiley:

GOOD ! It seems difficult to vote every year but even more so this year. so many great books to choose from. a huge thank you for your creations and for your presence at this annual meeting which is good for our memory. Bravo for your imagination. it’s time to vote😁
1st: Captain Harlock (Space Pirate) -by Enoo66. It’s an anime that I couldn’t have missed at the time. the design, vinyls and configuration are perfect.

2nd: One Piece: Luffy vs. Kaido - by griotte88 even if I know this manga less (only the 1st season) the design is simply fantastic. the high quality vinyls, the colors are superb and the placement of the background and shape, everything is perfect

3rd: Masters of the Universe - by SnakeEyes Friex there are also so many memories that come to mind. the anime that I followed with enthusiasm (I also had a He-man figurine that accompanied me to school, don’t judge me :grin:). finely reproduced vinyls, colors and logos. and this castle in the background, everything is just perfect.

4th: Wacky Races: Dick Dastardly & Mutley - by FullCafLizard. With my brothers we had fun transforming our bikes, skateboards or supermarket trolleys with cardboard and other things and we went on crazy races pretending to be the characters from this anime (in France it was called Les fous du vol). design and carefully executed. the vinyls are so cute, I love them.

5th: Looney Tunes - Marvin the Martian - by The Sly Jedi. obviously, I couldn’t leave Marvin out. Duck Dodgers rocked my childhood and its theme song sounded like playtime. Plus the design is perfect, I love seeing this little Martian in livery and this one does him honor.

and congratulations for all the others that I didn’t mention but know that your creations are downright epic, be proud of yourself😘

Wow, thank you kindly for your vote! I love how seeing a simple picture, in this case cartoons, all these childhood memories can come flooding back. This is a beautiful celebration of all things innocent, simply wonderful!

Thanks man, that’s very kind of you, appreciate it :pray:.

Also I love that you thought of doing the same design, there’s a saying here in the uk that goes “ great minds think alike “:wink::rofl:

Good luck in the comp too, you certainly got one of my votes :+1:
