I still don't get how people like liveries.
Someone slaps on 4-5 stickers of a replica, while there are lot more to add. Turns out to be popular.
Others where there is masking and a lot going on you cannot see, hardly gets any likes.

Seems like a lot of people don't understand how much work goes into a livery at times.
Idk if it's just me, but I'm feeling called out by your post.
I think it just comes down to taste and in most cases general appearance. While some look for the technical stuff, others judge by pure looks and style. Thankfully the automotive world is very diverse and personally I appreciate simple approaches as well as over the top stuff and can respect what others do or like, too. Also, how much thought went into a style to create something tangible and cohesive feels very important to me.
And, you're right about things going unnoticed/underappreciated - the R34 previously posted would count as something you described. The sponsors are indeed a mosh up of the Power Getter and M-Speed Replicas I did previously mixed with fictional diy logos. Since I spent a lot of time in researching and creating all the replica decals beforehand, I hold my creative freedom to use them for fun fantasy liveries etc.
Livery breakdown:
The main decal was illustrated from scratch and the windshield and hood logo were provided by the race series host, but further modified with varying line weights. The carbon fibre was coded way back in GT Sport to stuff in the highest tiling/ingame resolution ratio and can be downloaded from my profile, like most other decals I create. The event this car will be running in uses similar builds/tunes as you would find in Super Taikyu, so I felt recycling sponsors from a recent replica.
I can understand if replica mosh ups or generally fantasy race liveries may not be your cup of tea, but phrasing this in such a dismissive way feels unnecessary.
