There's an inherent assumption that people have time to dedicate to doing multiple liveries. To do a reasonable job on a livery isn't a quick task. To do one that people will assess and critique adds to that I think.
I agree on that point. I can also add that in this theme, most of the cause’s logos don’t exist in the game yet and have to be created. But you can also search for less specific ones and use their logo (Unicef, WWF...).
For the multiple liveries aspect, you can do a copy-paste of your first livery on the second car. You still have to spend some more time in the editor but the research and creation time wil be saved. The easiest and cleverest way is to do like
@ringkurier : Toyota GT86 GRMN / Gr.4. They fit the rules and are almost twins. I personally think of doing one « real » livery on the main car, and for the second it’ll be more like a Sunday Cup Car, with budget stickers and a few sponsors instead of a full livery.
If the time is really an issue, we can think about adding an extra week (this happened 3 times in the history of the LEC).
More rules generally means more effort. I don't know what those rules add in certain instances.
But if we just say « Do a livery », you never know what direction should be taken and which criterias should be investigated when voting. Rules must be clear yet open, so they stimulate reflections instead of creating barriers.
Making liveries that will never be used isn't a good use of time for some people.
Being challenged each week out of my boundaries, sharing my work with a friendly community, looking at theirs and getting thrilled by the suspense of the poll seems like a good use of my time...
Making the competition more accessible might get more people interested.
Like I said, it's not mandatory. These are just observations, I applaud those who put the time and effort in.
I'm not arguing, I was just making some observations. I'll shut up and vote on the entries later.
Observations are always welcomed and we try to improve the LEC along the way. Some themes are more open than others, some may fit you but give a headache to another contestant... it’s hard to please everyone, especially when you have to find an original theme with already 40+ being made!
I wish you could update the Aston livery for this theme, but as you said, nothing is mandatory!
FWIW the discovery section can be a nightmare to navigate. I tend to use the website rather than the console version.
Even with the website it’s not an easy task. Fortunately, for some months now there is an user-made search engine, which is not sexy, but a million times more efficient than the official one!
Have a look :

Looks really great imo!
