Welcome to my gallery of some (pretty basic) stuff that I would figure out "Why not post them here on this very friendly forum?"
I've bought this game on November 2017 (Standard Edition disc with a coupon for three cars), but my first tinkering with liveries in GTS started back in the Open Beta period!
Yup, it's just a purple and black Mustang with a Dark Candy Purple special colour, Jupiter & Co. Logistics as the main sponsor, and a set of RAYS ZE40s shod on a set of Bridgestones. And yes, I've managed to use some Projection Settings magic to get the bars of the Gran Turismo logo on the back disappear!
Decided to take advantage of someone else's BMW M stripes alongside my self-made one (apologies for the slight colour differences!), plus the fact that this car can be fitted with Enkei RA036 wheels means "why not put centre locks on it, that would give it more of a Super Touring feel!"
Essentially the sister car to that Purple Mustang Gr.4 due to similar designs, but obviously with a different main sponsor here. And yes, Mobil 1 is the oil supplier and Exxon is the fuel supplier, both are part of the ExxonMobil group, so it's all OK personally. Racked up a large amount of miles (especially before returning to Sport Mode after buying the PS+ subscription back in June last year during the Days of Play promo that made my current subscription running to August of this year. Back then, I returned as a B/A driver, now I'm A+/S with 56k DR points to boot!) with this thing before getting dressed in a certain Apex'i livery. It is also my most liked livery of this set with 15 likes to brag off.
First car with yellow headlights! It's just really simple and plain looking, just like test cars IRL, though this may or may not be overloaded with sponsors for what is supposed to be a test car!
I will post another set of four cars on the next post, so stay tuned!
Ended up having this in mind after seeing a Supra in Gran Turismo 3 in that colour, so I decided to match the HSV values of said car and ended up becoming a race mod with RAYS centre locks that gives it, alongside its stock body, a Group A touring car look. I described my attempt to match the colour as "nearly accurate"
This weird and quirky thing is the first car that I bought using my credits, which results in getting the trophy for purchasing your first car in Brand Central. I used eclipsi_RC's carbon texture for my liveries before using @BLiTZ's carbon fibre textures (latest one in my decal collection is Version 5.00), and this thing is the first one to get the former's carbon treatment. The red accents are there to make the car pop a little bit more.
Even though in my gallery it is advertised as the #23 NISMO Bayside Blue (M), in reality this livery will just add all the stickers as advertised on top of the colour your car came in from either the Brand Central or the DWG (i.e. the stock colour of your car).
Another four will be on the next post, so why not come back here later to see more of my archives before going into my latest works and the release of several unreleased liveries?
This livery uses the Y1 Aluminium Metallic paint and Matte decals (I think?). There may be oversights here and there, but still looks pretty nice if you ask me.
Being a proud member of this forum means that I had to do a GTPlanet livery like you see here. No white with red and blue accents and oversized GTPlanet Globe decals on the rear fenders, sadly, but at least the racing number refers to its chassis code, I think?
So, I was a fan of FailRace back then until I sadly stopped watching him before there's even a speck of trace of me subscribing to either his YouTube or Twitch channels. Back then, I did this Atenza as a reference to the fact that back then he owns an RX-7 before switching over to his Legnum that you see today. Was working on the Evo version of this livery before stopped to even do some detailing (SPOILER: That Evo has a Blancpain GT Series PRO-AM number box!)
Next on my archives would be the rest of the 2018 liveries, including two LEC entries!
2nd experiment of team cars is performed on the M6 GT3. I could connect the bonnet part to the roof, but I was a bit lazy there. You may notice the change in tag format, where older liveries were tagged with either #basicliveries or #complexliveries, now this is the first one using the new tag format for the 2nd tag (#fictional for, well, fictional liveries, #(Insert Series Name Here) for liveries based on real-life cars, #throwback for retro replica liveries reimagined in the modern day, complete with modernized sponsors, #itasha for cars decorated with anime character decals, while #anime is for replicas of actual cars in an anime, and so on and so forth)
Managed to make one of those curved shapes to work with what I have in mind. Oh and yes, it's another one of those "Clubman Racing" type of liveries that RZQ has an expertise on, right?
LEC 08 is all about the GTPlanet Sunday Cup, where amateur teams and drivers compete against...
Not the first LEC entry overall, but it is the first one posted here overall! Also the first time using a number box other than the PD generated ones, as enforced by the rules. I kicked off the Sunday Cup LEC by posting a story that causes everyone to have a story of their own!
Here's my first Itasha attempt for LEC 18 as challenged by Baliwerk Design House (i.e. Mr. @Baliwa) back then. It looks like crap, but at least I got the little details jotted down like the German flag colour rear end as a reference to @TRL LIGHTNING, the Brazillian flag colour swoosh stripes as a reference to @Igor Fraga, and then we got the driver names. Even the character decal is a custom one-off from @Mistah_MCA!
And that wraps up the 2018 liveries. Let's see how much I have improved as a livery designer on the next set after my long absence from the scene!
Originally intended for LEC 25 (Back to Basics by @Noisy), but laziness of changing the sponsors to fit the rules doomed my entry to said competition, with @Higny's FuguZ livery being the final blow to my absence into said competition.
The McLaren immediately gets my livery treatment once I've bought it. There was used to be a V1, but due to projection oversights, I delisted that one, so what you're seeing here is the V2 with fixes to the projection settings concerning the character decal interacting with the intake vents.
Yay, a YouTuber livery! This time though, it's @Tidgney that takes the spotlight with this yellow and black livery. You may also notice @GT_Alex74's "Flawless Tidgney" decal on the roof! It was, however, based on the next design below.
I started off with this design that you see here, but then I had an idea using the base design of this and made that Tidgney car before finishing this thing. Also the first published livery with a real-life series number box. The Super Taikyu cars IRL only have the side number box and font from the STO (the organizers behind the Super Taikyu series), while the number font for the bonnet can be any font! Also got a mandatory repost from the character decal creator, who just happens to be a friend of @darth_tails and @LoneWolf696!
Ah yes, this thing where in a what-if scenario of Endless Brakes suddenly decided to scrap their leopard graphics and partner up with Kadokawa Games and C2 Kikan to promote their ultra-famous (at least in Japan) online game known as Kantai Collection (or KanColle for short), where you manage a bunch of girls who have weapons from WWII-era ships known as Kanmusu (Ship's ship according to Google Translate, apparently) and send them to sorties against a bunch of evil stuff with gnarly weapons known as the Abyssals. There are two whites in this car, separated by blue stripes, with the body paint being a generic pearl white getting flanked by white decals for a bit of an interesting effect. Also the most liked itasha livery in my garage (one more and it's tied with my Maxwell Mustang from early 2018!!)
And here we are, the latest livery in my gallery! The car's original body colour has been covered by a massive white decal, but you'll still get the carbon detailing that I'm sure that you'll like it. Also liked how the red parts turned out. Was originally going to be used for my Manufacturer Series campaign alongside a planned 86 livery, but I ended up having other ideas (including having Karen Araragi and @PrinsvOranje's hexagonal patterns on my Manufacturer Series Toyotas), plus the fact that I couldn't move on from Porsche, apparently, which probably meant a GTPlanet livery is in order.
Welp, I think that's it for now, but let's see if I can go back to Toyota on race day?
Part 1 of my Manufacturer Series campaign with Porsche after using yuyuko_0418's Ro-500 livery set for EX Season 1. A.K.A the Team GTPlanet 2019 Edition, this car's paint is a white decal, so the rear spoiler still has that high quality stock CF texture to it.
Part 2 of my Manufacturer Series campaign with Porsche post loaning yuyuko_0418's liveries. Fitted with (probably) everything needed to race in the FIA World Endurance Championship in the GTE Pro class. Again, the paint of this car is just a white decal.
Ahh, the girl on my avatar who just happens to be the Monogatari Series's main guy's sister is on a car now. The character decal itself is made by ISA310133. The other main feature of the car is the hexagonal patterns all around the car as a reference to her arc (Karen Bee in Nisemonogatari), which is made by @PrinsvOranje, so thanks for that! The paint underneath the yellow decal is a shade of dark grey as seen on the dark parts of the hexagonal pattern decals. The car is fitted for the FIA World Endurance Championship in the GTE Pro class, complete with (again, probably) everything needed to run a WEC race, but the number boxes will get covered by the Sport Mode numbers as neatly as possible, just like the Team GTPlanet RSR.
Let's see if I could make the 86 in order to be able to run it in the Manufacturer Series as a return campaign after a fairly successful 2018 with Toyota...
