ZOMGMRC that's hot, though it's more of a Mk2 Focus hatch with slightly larger headlamps than normal than a "shooter." Actually, did you only guess that because I said she was lossly based off a Ford Focus? Anyways, I had A LOT of people try and guess what she is. I got anything from Nissans to Toyotas to Mazdas to Hondas but no one got it until I told them. ~Kamui.EXE

Actually, your initial picture of her suggested she was more of a Mk1 Focus, but I never bothered to say that. To be even more honest, I figured the "Shooting Star" was Racer-X's #9 from Speed Racer. XD I just noticed that Lizkay's rendition has more design cues of the Mk2...
The only other design cue I could recognize were the 300ZX-style lights, which appear to have NOT been maintained to that version...

To be exact I used the new Ford Focus ST as base, because it had the round "ass" I was looking for. Also got the Nissan 300 ZX in my mind for the lights.. but couldn't use it in the end, since the Nissan has seperated indicator lights, meanwhile the character (as seen on the ref.) has integrated ones, so I took... that is seriously amusing somehow, Escalade Lights as base , + a rallye spoiler of a rallye shot, don't rember the type anymore... also wasn't sure about the rims so I left the ST ones since they are quite pretty ;D

Enough with the funny looks!) but Shooting Star Clan cars are just a type of mix-breed with a huge background and history to them. There was no referance to Speed Racer (And didn't intend for it either! ^^;;; ) Once you said round-"ass", I now have a new way of looking at my character which is rather amuzing! Stop polluting my mind! j/k XD But I think you did really well with her and yes, I did like the rims (I usually tend to leave the rims out.... mostly because I'm a little lazy in that department! XD ) But I really liked how she turned out and to me, the look is actually quite striking. Thanks for doing this! ~Kamui.EXE

*LOOOL* I love to pollute minds!! XD Seriously I have a love for car-compounding, I am trying to get a Detlef done since ages, but it is hard to find a good picture of a black VW Golf 3 these days... *gg* Badly I have to say (because of some freelance work besides my fulltime job.. yeah, I must be insane) I can't get the magazine covers done the way I want them, so if you peeps want some of the "normal" manips, I can still take these, cause they are quite fast done... (to get the magazine covers done I need to cut them out, recolor them etc...) oh and here is the one for fierano.. I do hope it isn't totally wrong what I did *gg*

I'd love to have some manips done, but for the life of me I can't find any decent pictures.

If you can find some, you can make some if you want. The main problem I've been having is trying to match up the paint colors...
Destiny: female GEO Storm (no specified year, not hatchback), metallic teal, green eyes Jason: male 2002 Ford F150, red, brown eyes Anastasia: female 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, Black base coat with ribbons of green, blue and teal (specifics are described in Track Time RP) as well as white "22" on hood, sides, and roof, eyes anywhere between blue and green (as they change) David: male 1976 Ford F150, black, deep brown eyes Danielle: female 1984 Mack Superliner, black, green eyes
Like I said, if you want to try one or more, you go right ahead. If you want a challenge, you can try Anastasia, with the ribbons of color and all.

Okay... I just got too much work in the studio today, so I am a bit... well tired, out done, pissed.. whatever... so don't take me too serious well, after some others pointed this out to me and I found it myself too, people are copying my painted eyes and mouths off my manips and use it for their own ones... not that I mind, No no, not really, they shall take it if they like, I just don't get it why... why the heck do they take my painted (and by the way not that pretty) parts and not copy them off the real Cars 3D pictures??? Well well.. nope I don't care, but I simply don't get it, I don't even want to take the eyes of the real ones (all my stuff is painted, all, not even one pixel is copied because I want to keep them original by me) and just for the future reference, please post some links to your descriptions or the photos you would like to get a manip of, I am lost in searching and if I take/find the wrong, make a manip of than the work is for nothing if it wasn't what you really wanted KayotaWhat about this pic: www.calcruisingauctions.com/images1/55redwhitebelair-1.jpgI could use this as base for manip to make your character.... fieranono probs, it was fun to make it... I really enjoy to give cars some "neat" expressions ;D and thanks for the NFS Detlef again @reiji Neko Mitsukai What about this one for Jason (just searched for the Ford F150): api.cdmdata.com/ftproot/dealerfiles/2541/photos/1FTRW07L83KA53673-0.jpg

I just don't get it why... why the heck do they take my painted (and by the way not that pretty) parts and not copy them off the real Cars 3D pictures??? Heh.... I'll tell you why - because people LIKE them. I know it's probably annoying as hell and you probably think that they weren't that great, but to other people, they weren't the ones creating it and think that they're amazing. Here's some experiments I did - In French Cert. class, I actually showed off my Pro-grade work and walked them through the magic inbehind the scenes and they were still amazed. Why? Because they can't do it for themselves. If they could, I'd be out of a job! XD Anyways, it amazes them to see something like that eventhough you might not think it's all that great in itself. That's because you yourself know what's out of place (Usually a minor thing) that they don't see. They CAN'T see if something's a pixel out or not. They aren't trained in that. It's like a magic trick - they don't know what they can't see making it all the more magical. However, what I do find, strangely enough is that the more you LIKE a particular picture is the more in trouble that you really are and people WILL notice mistakes. That's because when you think it's perfect, you stop working on making it better. Not to say you can't have a favourite piece of artwork, but that's what I generally find. Anyways, I hope that helps out with the mystery a little bit! ~Kamui.EXE
