Ghost in the Shell

I have a real love for retro cartoons, and by that I mean the tv shows and movies I watched as a kid / young adult. Anime is a genre I really enjoyed and Ghost in the Shell was one of the movies I remember watching quite a few times.
When the live action movie was announced I was quite surprised by the casting, but I did go see it and I loved the visual spectacle they created, everything from the major herself to the geisha robots and just the overall feel of it was (imo) awesome.

So I decided to search for source images I really liked and found a couple, combined them into one image, and that became the image I would try to recreate in Forza Horizon 5’s vinyl creator….

I started with the linework of major and the geisha, and adding a bit of colour
then I added Batou in a different style, much more cartoonstyle i’d say…
Having most of the linework done I started filling/colouring.
added the first part that would be more shaded/highlighted/detailed
Then Majors face, I did try to get Scarlett Johansson’s features in there…
adding the shading and highlights to her lips made it work much better..
coloured and detailed the “goggles” and finished Batou.
added a bunch more details to fill in the geisha’s internal face
adding these shades and highlights was so much fun, it really made the image so much cooler
finishing it of with the upper bits of the geisha’s face and adding colour and further details to the flower.
Once it was all done I tranfered over to the Xbox for a final check, and then onto the layout….

A gift from PGG and T10

While I was creating this vinyl group, pgg/t10 had released an update for the game and with that update came a block from all auction house activities, as a gift for the inconvenience, they sent out 2 rare cars to all players…

That is when I decided to pick one of those cars as my canvas…

F1 – Max Verstappen – Oracle Red Bull Racing – livery for Forza Horizon 5

I’ve been following the F1 races since last year… really been enjoying it and thought i’d create a livery celebrating Max Verstappen’s second World Championship… searched for some cool images and came across a poster on the F1 official store which i loved the look of!

So i started to recreate the image …

basic layout
first bits of details added
love how the letters look like they’re rolling out of sight 🙂
the nose was fun to do, really fun to try and create the highlighted look
wheel details took up a lot of layers!
nearly completed image (some small tweaks were needed)

When I was done recreating the image I decided to flip the image and then flip all the logo’s to be displayed correctly on the left side of the car it would go on….

and after playing around a little bit, I had a couple car designs to share…

Hotwheels BTTB – SC: TBA
created for a laugh
2018 Ferrari FXX-K EVO – SC: 168 712 053
Honda NSX-R GT – SC: 152 392 817

But I was also creating a livery for the 2016 Honda Civic Coupe…..

And it needed an extra image for the hood/bonnet, Max had just won the Mexican GP and there were some cool photo’s of him with his golden helmet on …. so……

started with the basic shape again but also added the logo’s where I could….
also recreated the circuits for Zandvoort (NLD) and the Red Bull Ring (AUT)
adding gradients is so rewarding!! 😀
and this is where I ended up 🙂

This has been a passion project for me. Trying to make the design perfect before releasing it… And I think it shows 🙂

3 weeks I’ve worked on this design recreating most logo’s from scratch… (already had the red bull logo made 🙂 ) and building the main images.

I hope you all enjoy this design as much as I enjoyed creating it!
