Taiga | 2.12 | The Final Act

[gtuned]

Chillin' in Kyoto gran, with my man Jaden, chain smokin' Pirelli's, with the STI blazin'. We dropped that white subie, so we get those frame scrapes, zero suspension travel, static stance we kill.

srsly, awesome edit and sexy shot. Now i think we need to do a Stance set too with all the other things

 

[Watchman]

Nice work, Jaden. Love it to bits. 👍

 

[Taiga]

Gtuned: Dammit Garrett, quit adding awesome unresistable ideas to the list! That makes it 3 then. Thanks, though, if it wasn't for your stance photos, I wouldn't have done so myself.

GT-R: Thanks. Glad you liked it.

 

[AerodyManiac]

Fantastic work on the car! 👍

 

[Taiga]

Thanks GT HP Nut, glad you liked it!

 

[Nuschel01]

[iNs3CuRe]

[Taiga]

Nuschel01: Thanks! The link is broken, but do you mean the leaf sticker? Why silly, it's JDM of course!

Haha! I feel so stupid now. I guess I've been caught in the trend! That perfectly explains why in Gran Turismo 2, you sometimes get that medal. I've always been wondering.

Takin' It Slow


I drove around the track obeying traffic rules with fake traffic stops and traffic to see what it's like in real-life.
No srzly, I did. Driving a car like that in real-life has GOT to be boring.
That was really slow and boring. Ughh. /shrug


















Remedy


During the bout of the editing of the set, the song Clarity by Zedd (Damn you, Garrett) was set to repeat and every single time the chorus came on, the word Remedy really stood out, so much so that I was waiting for the word.

You could say this car is sort of a remedy. It redefines a sport sedan, it remedies and made new the sport sedan class.
That class has been shaken and stirred.​

Lovely C63 and Stealth Shots!

 

[Taiga]

Thanks Pascal!

 

[NBDESIGNZ]

Superb LFA shots! Especially the 3rd one!!! 👍

 

[Kodje]

Superb LFA shots! Especially the 3rd one!!! 👍

+1. I also really like the second one.

 

[SMfan]

Loving the 2.0 Entry!

 

[Watchman]

Beautiful Aventador. 👍

 

[Taiga]

NBDESIGNZ: Thanks NB! That was one of the rejects for this week's PMC.

Kodje: Thanks. That second one took quite a bit of work, the exposure was taken way too high in the stock photo. (Silly me. )

SMfan: Thanks SM! HSR is magical.

GT-R: Cheers mate. The Aventador is indeed a beautiful machine.

 

[gtuned]

the LFA shots are good, but nothing really outstanding tbh. As for Remedy, I love the low saturation and cooler tones, and angles are just so good.

 

[iNs3CuRe]

Good stuff SLZK, I really like that LFA set!

 

[ShaolinMasta]

2nd LFA shot is so good Great sets 👍👍👍

 

[Taiga]

Gtuned: Thanks mate. Guess I really wasn't feeling it for the LFA set. And part of Remedy has to be credited to you. Clarity stuck on me so bad, I can remember the entire chorus now. I don't know- the song just calls for a moodier set.

iNs3CuRe: Cheers mate. So I guess the view on the LFA set's pretty mixed. I'm pretty mixed on that set too.

ShaolinMasta: Thanks Ilya! So they are very mixed.

Sneaked in a preview of the next single-shot set. Bet no one will see this ninja move. Wait what?


Don't worry, I've just only drawn the skeleton of this project, not gonna be done soon,
but just wanted to share.​

Experiment 002 | Aberration

​

Blood Moon

So one day I was playing Final Fantasy VIII again and the Lunar Cry chapter hit me really hard.
The Lunar Cry of FFVIII kept playing in my head and is my base inspiration.
I've played through FFVIII over 5 times and without fail, at the lunar cry chapter, I would always get chills, be afraid to look in the screen.
So I made a picture out of it.

Don't worry, I ain't crazy, even after reading whatever's below.

I always wondered.
All this lore, mythology, is there any base to it? Monsters on the moon?
Pfft. Please. (That's where all the monsters in FFVIII come from)
But life? Hmm.

FFVIII Lore: [In FFVIII, a lunar cry is an event where the Lunatic Pandora, a crystal pillar become Earth's closest point to the moon, and it's gravitational pull will cause all beings on the moon, that being monsters, to be concentrated on the reciprocated point on the moon's surface. When it is way too dense to be held by the moon's gravity, the monsters start falling to the Lunatic Pandora and Earth, initiating the 'Lunar Cry' or the 'Blood Moon'] Here's a video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNg7pwqIVf4 Watch it if you TLR'd, or just as a visual explanation. ​

[Taiga]

MadMoss: Thanks MM!

Nato_777: FFVIII is so, so underrated! Glad I met a fan! Thanks Nato!
