Here is what the Sausage Man would do with it to make it look a little more aggressive...

Maybe not exactly that on the front, but you get the idea. My portable gravitational sand dropping time measuring device ran out before I could get into it.

@damn, the edit of my livery looks good. But for me to implement it into the design, I would need better skill at using bezier curves. And what about font style for the number? I don't have a clue on which one it is.

Looking forward to the test session at the A1 Ring. I just hope Christel can get a good result this time round. Perhaps a private test could help the team out, but it would be the bosses decision to run a private test session.

The font's Impact, mate.

And to tell the truth, I've not used a single curve when designing my stuff; I draw lots of little lines and touch them up with the brush tool to fix it up.

I only learnt the concept of layers in photoshop a few years ago - shocking!

I too use straight lines. Though I usually make massive blocks of colour and cut bits out, like carving forms from one big object. Maybe I am weird, I design back to front I think.

What about characterising your team? Jordan style?

:P

Looks much better, Dan!

Don't prefer the 2nd one.




I'd say put that along the side of the nose, but I think Jake is already going for that look.

reminds me, must remove the eye on the TNR, it sucks big time!

Cut bits out? Hmm interesting concept that. I've made pretty much everything by creating straight lines and warping them about.

This is great, how do you other guys do it?

@Monza972, that is what I am after. But how can I make it myself?

I assume you're using Photoshop?

1) type the number you want in a font of your choice. make sure it's a flat font and has no shading. rasterise that layer

2) paste an image of the flag behind it on another layer and roughly resize it around the number.

3) select the outline of the number layer, click select inverse, switch to the flag layer and the press delete.

4) go to blending options and put a stroke of 3px in the center position.

5) That's it you're done. Go have a biscuit.

Most important is the The biscuit bit.
I've always used bezier curves, never thought of warping a straight line. Must try it ;)

Edit: Yes wrong account and we will be using Ed's A1-Ring.

This should help me out. And I use gimp as my main paint program.




Those Aussie flag numbers are the same style Casey Stoner uses. Looks awesome..... considered using it for all the DMR numbers, but opted not too.... would look great for an all Aussie driver lineup = but i am quite happy with my Brit-Hungarian-German-Aussie driver lineup currently...

Oooooohhh!! That was my favorite MPR that I had the pleasure of painting. Thank you for that opportunity Dan :)
The perf files always look so promising! Hopefully we'll benefit from the driver boosts...

No worries mate. Every MPR livery since season 3 has been either painted by yourself or been a redesign of one of your own painted by someone else.

We owe a huge slice of our identity to you.

I just wish we'd had better seasons racing in that red livery. We had the reigning champion, international playboy Matt Houston and yourself so we should have done better.

@Greg, I'll post all the renders of our cars since season 1 in your new thread when I get home mate.

It'd be cool to see everyone else dig out some classic renders.

Ah GIMP.

There isn't a proper thing for strokes (unless I'm mistaken, I haven't used it in years) but I found this online, I hope it helps :).
