Okay, here I am, with my piece - I kept it really simple and description doesn't need many words either

FINAL ENTRY




This piece is called The Speed of Light and there is nothing much to say about, maybe just as when approaching the ultimate speed, we get the tunnel vision, on this car represented with all those colorful lines.

My first thought was to make the effect from the tip of the nose, but from front projection there was an issue with decals not reaching the very end of the car. Therefore I moved the main focus to the cockpit.

Technique I used was really simple, made a 10% opaque 40-point star svg with some distortion, arranged it on the car, colored it, rotated a bit, recolored, flipped horizontally/vertically and repeated it 7-8x, with different colors. As base color I used BPP color shift, with 7x applied 10% opaque rectangle colored black to get a bit darker base.

Not sure about the logos/texts thing, but I added the fictive Speed of Light logo on the wing, but if it is not allowed, I can remove it as per one entry change allowed. ^^​

Personally I'd say it fits the theme, much like the "FAST" on the M6 GT3. But let's wait for Syntex and Matski to confirm it :)

I'd rather cut my balls off than do an "art car" :lol: looking forward to seeing the creations though

Want my scissors? They're very blunt.. ;) Just kidding. You don't know before you try though :D

I was at a cabin this weekend, lost valuable time I think. But I got some well needed rest from the stress, so that's good. Anyway I digress;
I think my entry will be so complex it won't get any votes in the end. If I ever get to finish it.. :scared:
I'll continue making my decals throughout the week, and hopefully have something to show soon.

This event certainly had me a little vexed at first, I considered many ideas which centred around my love of art including Minimalism, Cubism, Abstract, Steampunk and Pop art. However imagining the idea was not an issue, finding the canvas for it was, after all the car needs to look good too right?

I've always had a fascination with the concept of 'Organised Chaos', considering the art, music, film, books I like and my own drawings I create at home there is often a strong central theme of chaos in a controlled form. Then, while searching for ideas I stumbled on some past BMW art cars and decided why not combine that theme, with a particular artist who reflects the idea of Organised Chaos.

I picked the work of Piet Mondrian, the Dutch artist from the earlier 20th Century, for several reasons. Firstly, his Cubist-inspired art has often fascinated me for it's basic yet deeply compelling nature. Secondly, I felt that the vivid, striking colours and clean lines of his later work would lend itself to the canvas of a car. And finally, although it was perhaps not Piet's intention, his 'Composition' paintings represented to me an excellent example of Organised Chaos in the sense that uniform lines dominate the picture but with entirely random colour places and shape sizes. It looks organised and yet random all at the same time. I chose to replicate his work around all sides of the car but saved the roof and bonnet for my own spin of both the sketch phase every artist undertakes (represented by the plain black lines) and also the paint colours in a 'Parallel Palette', represented by the small coloured circles.

I chose the BMW VGT because I love the design (and I don't think the other BMWs would have worked) although getting the design to work on the rear, bonnet and wing was incredibly challenging at times. Again, the fact it looks simple but was deceptively challenging kind of represents my theme again. No shapes are the same size and both sides are unique from the one another, probably around 9 hours in total and almost 300 decals used.

Very nice. :) It reminded me of this :D Where is your racing suit covered in this pattern? ;) :lol: Oh, I hope we can place decals on the suits and helmets soon.. This livery would be perfect with a suit that had the same design!

Mondrian Art Car Idea

Ok, I still have some ideas, and maybe every time someone publishes, I can delete one and better figure what I'm going to do ...

@KK78 Nicely done :)

I too was tempted to give this a try anyways with a Mondrian theme, basically the only modern artist I like. Now I give up completely :lol:

Keith Haring also did some cool stuff :D

However I think Matski wanted us to get creative on our own and not "rip off" some artist ideas? :nervous:
 
He said we can use stuff we like. I'm keen on some modern and abstract art, and there are some artists that deserve a great tribute. Also, one of the OP examples was actually a Keith Haring inspired car.
 
Sorry if I’ve ruined some of your plans chaps!:)

My intention was not to rip off an artist btw, I wanted to reflect a design which really speaks to me

I'm not at all bothered if the style is adapted from known artist, but it shouldn't be a recreation of something that exists already. "inspired by" is fine.

The more original the better though.
 
I wanted to do something a bit different than what you’d see if you googled “art car. And in full disclosure this is a redo from a non contest livery I’ve done in the past. I re did the rust overlay

The bus has a nice livery on it, and someone loved it back in the day. Now it’s just old,rusted, and busted. It’s been forgotten, like old interests or hobbies of our youth.

I went for a crazy paving sort of technique on the car. Maybe you could say the smooth, flowing lines represent my driving technique, but that would be your choice. I chose the 919 simply because I haven't done a Gr1 car before. There are a couple of Porsche logo's on the design (I wouldn't know if it was an audi, porsche or toyota without it), but I kept them minimal so hopefully they are ok.

FINAL ENTRY

Entrata per concorso numero sei
Didn't have much time to actually do this, I wanted to add more text but hey. Thanks to @MatskiMonk for helping out with the decals when I was struggling. Without his help I wouldn't have gotten close enough to what I wanted to do for it to be finished/entered.
I wanted to do a race car with the idea of it being pre-sponsors/decals and in a 'drafting' stage, hence all the lines. Ideally I would have liked to have had many more outlines and boxes giving it much more of a shape, but I've run out of time. I then coated the car in post race grime and dirt, I love the way GT cars look after endurance races and wanted this thing to look like it'd taken on Le Mans. The only actual 'branding' decal I have is the team name 'Saxton' on the rear wing, hope this isn't an issue as it's my own fictitious team name.

»Designed by Nature«
Nature itself inspired my Mazda LM55 VGT Art Car

42391140052_b51a9dc528_z.jpg



Designed by Nature
Very often you find spectacular designed and uniquely “liveried” species in nature.
Since time immemorial people got inspired by animals, plants and elements:
It never was easy to indicate what is art, design or just simple decoration, though.
And this may be the case in a livery contest when it comes to Art Cars.
But I like the challenge and decided to choose a theme for my art car which is directly inspired by nature.

The Butterfly
Background: Consistently I read news about threatened species – especially insects.
In some regions scientist found only 35% left of the butterfly species they had registered decades before.
What can we do? At least we can attract public attention to our concerns of the heart.
So if you see my Butterfly Art Car you hopefully get aware of my tendency.
You can only love what you know, and what you love you will respect and protect.
Any wildlife terribly needs our respect and protection, especially in these times.

Choice of car
The Mazda LM55 VGT is giving off an impression of lightness, elegance and beauty, it looks like a flying object to me.
Quite similar to a butterfly.

Livery Design
I used only two decals: the butterfly wing multiple times and the butterfly body once on the hood of the car.
Being lazy I borrowed the butterfly design from here:

Stunning work! She's a real beauty.
 
I thought I'd see a lot of Samba Buses used as canvases, but one has yet to appear. However we had two LM55 VGT, which looks surprisingly good as an art car. Interesting choices and works, good job to everyone so far!

Shame on me, I missed it :banghead: yet it's only one, I thought the majority of the entries would have been BMWs or buses, considering their backgrounds. Curious to see what's next!:cheers:

Just a helpful hint.....You'll want to reduce the size of your images to no larger than 640 pixels. I'd hate to see your good work excluded!

I do not have a story about this. I just had ALOT of fun doing this!

Glad you had fun and it's a well executed design 👍

I'm going to take a guess that something to do with print media inspired the design. The use of CMYK and Greyscale colour registration blocks and gradients seem noticeable, I was wondering if that was part of the motivation?
