jus1029: Thanks, jus. I applied double the values for the first 4. :P

20832: Thank you for such a huge compliment. You're one of the only few photographers that inspired me to start taking photos for GT5. I guess I wouldn't even be here without you. Big thanks to the whole of you, mate.

ShaolinMasta: I hope so too. Thank you so much, SM, for visiting and commenting everso regularly. I really appreciate that. :)

grrlpurple: Thanks, grrlpurple!

BkS: Cheers, BkS!
 
What can I say... great angles, nice tones... just excellent (as usual! ;))!
Keep up the good work! 👍
 
20832: Thank you so very much! You are such a... (insert unimaginable good praise) person. :sly:

Jamoru: Thanks, mate! Maybe you should try taking up a remix project as well. :D



Preview Time! Can you guess what it is?
 


Mad Max Concept
I've never watched the movie though. But I think what I've came up with for the Photoshop PMC 48 deserves a place in my gallery.
Who knows? Maybe Mad Max 4 will have a rain chase scene!
 
The Car in the picture is probably a Old Supra? :P
Love the work on the Mad Max Picture.

Incredible Photoshop work!
 










J Z A 7 0
The Mk.III Supra.
This was my starting car in Gran Turismo 1,2 and 4.
If my memory serves me right, it was all red except Gran Turismo 4.
I remember always saving up to get the twin-turbo version, using the rims to differentiate between the standard and that.
I love this car.
 
BkS: Nope. It's the ol' supra. :D

ShaolinMasta: You've guessed it right then! It was pretty obvious, I guess.

20832: Thanks, mate! This is one of my favourite sets I've made so far.

DarkR: Cheers, mate! I love the third as well.

OP is in such a mess. :nervous:
 
Ahh! Mark 3 Supra, I love this car! I've got one I use as a drift missile. :D
First shot is hot!
 
Justin: Thanks, mate!

20832: And I can assure you, that I'm very, very grateful for your support. :D

Horde_R35: Cheers! :cheers: Glad you liked it.
 
Gtuned: Thanks! And I wanna say again, your latest set has inspired me so, so much, that my special special has taken little ideas from it!

rpanico14: Hehe. :lol: Gotta catch/shoot em' all!

Ferrari_458: Thanks. I like it way better as well. :D

20,832.00: I would be honoured to do so. :D



Here's a preview for the very special special for a special day for...
 
Is it your birthday?

The preview looks like a guy with a mustache! :lol:
 
I was born 16 years ago.
I'm alive for 16 years now.
These 16 cars represent me.
Each of these cars have a reason to be here.
A reason each, that kept my passion alive.


NSX-R by JILZK, on Flickr

The NSX-R. I've gotta say, I love NSXs.
They are amongst the favourite of favourite cars I have in the world. It's beautiful, and it handles beautiful.
This may be the last NSX that I really like.


LFA by JILZK, on Flickr

The LF-A, or the faux Carrera GT for me.
The sounds, and yes, I've said this out loud to my friends before,
"This car (Carrera GT) came from the heavens, with the sound of the angels, and the LF-A's the next angel. It's just less prettier."


R34 by JILZK, on Flickr

The R34, ahh the R34.
I loved this car so much, I asked my dad to buy it when he was searching for a new car.
I have a passion for the skylines as I do for NSXs. It's something unexplainable. You just like something, y'know?


GString by JILZK, on Flickr

The FT-86 G-Sports.
When I first saw it, I was like, "Toyota's never gonna stop making copies of concepts."
When I first drove it, I was like, "God, I gotta have another lap."


RX7 by JILZK, on Flickr

The RX-7.
This car. It was for this car that I watched Initial D in the first place.
Rotaries, they're just so special.
They have such a unique sound.
You know when one's coming.
You know when to smile.


SLR by JILZK, on Flickr

The McMerc.
Back when I was 10 or 12, I always referred to this car as the "2nd boss' car" as this was the boss car of the 2nd on the blacklist of NFSMW.
This car is special. It has those flaps that raise when you brake.
And when you gas it, it gives this raw, rumble of the monster that is within the massive engine cover.
The sound of a true machine.


Enzo by JILZK, on Flickr

The Enzo.
This car is well, my second-to-favourite car, that being the Carrera GT.
It's really, really pretty.
Others call this thing hideous, ugly, monstrous, un-Ferrari like.
I call this thing pure beauty, epic, legendary.
Oh, and this beast has such a great sound.


GT by JILZK, on Flickr

The GT.
It. Is. Gorgeous.
'nuff said.


Raybrig NSX by JILZK, on Flickr

The Raybrig NSX.
This is something that will forever stay true in my heart.
This carried me in the Midnight Racing Club GT500 Series.
I went nowhere with it. I was always at the back.
I hated this car, and I wanted to leave it.
But it grew onto me. Every race, I try fixing it, trying to make it turn like it should.
It's like fixing a relationship.
A relationship that has grown to be something really significant in my life.


F40 by JILZK, on Flickr

The F40.
I love it. I had 3 diecast models of it.
Before I discovered the Enzo and the Carrera GT, this was the best looking car to me.
It has that feel, y'know?
You just get that, when you're looking at this car, something is going on with your brain, and you feel a tingle somewhere.


Oreca by JILZK, on Flickr

The 908.
Le Mans is my favourite racing series, and the LMP cars are my favourite contenders.
Especially so because they look so sleek, so very elegant in a way.
And this, the 908 Oreca Matmut, just takes it away.


Denso by JILZK, on Flickr

The DENSO SARD SC430.
This was my car for the second season of the Midnight Racing Club GT500 Series.
This was also my first car to be driven without the ABS.
This was the car I stared at most of the times in the race as I always constantly
stuck behind the driver of this in Season 1.
This was the car I was confident that I could podium with.
Sadly, the series got cancelled, and this car was never given a chance to live
to it's full potential (for me, at least).


R8 by JILZK, on Flickr

The R8 V10.
This was the car that I raced with for my first ever racing series, the FIA GT3.
I picked it as it was the last car available, and struggled with it for the first race.
But then this car brought me podiums, after podiums later on.
But the series also got cancelled.
And it's there now, in my garage, rotting it's own orange paint away.


C6 by JILZK, on Flickr

The C6 Corvette.
I love corvettes, and this is my favourite of them all.
This was the car I learnt how to drift with the wheel on.
This was the first car that I've ever used that oh so precious Silver Chrome paint on.
I have 4 of them now.


380RS by JILZK, on Flickr

The 380RS Superleggera.
I made a list before the release of GT5, and this was the first few of them.
I liked the way it looked, I really liked it.
I bought it and it was amazing stock.
AMAZING. It was the first car I've used a matte paint chip on and the only car to rock it.
It now serves as my daily online killer, clocking over 500km worth of online races.
(The matte one doesn't look good in pictures, so I bought another.)


Murcielago by JILZK, on Flickr

The Murcielago LP670-4 SV.
The last of the Murcielagos.
The last of them all.
The last of a dying breed.
A dying breed of the of V12 Hypercars.

Pure Beauty

What is there more to say?
(Thanks, Gtuned, jus1029, 20832, phil bell for everything in GT5.)
