Hey guys!!
Its been a while since my last post, and if you've seen our recent posts on social media, u'll know why...
First off, welcome to Forza Horizon 3!
The game is beautiful, with so much to do, and there will be plenty of paints to come from me over the next year!
So, why we've been quiet....
Pokemon. Pokemon, everywhere....
We decided, some weeks ago, to try and paint every pokemon, for a massive release. It seemed like an impossible task, and at times it nearly fell through, but due to the work put in by the team, and honoury team member Icerabbitdesign, we managed it!
This week sees the release of the first batch of pokemon liveries, available on the Storefront now.
For more information, visit the pokemon release thread, in the FH3 section.
I was lucky enough to recieve a copy of FH3 before launch, and made use of that time by sharing paints for you guys.
Here's a selection of my shared liveries:
And finally, here's some pretty shots I've taken:
Thanks for reading this, and keep an eye out on the auction house for special edition liveries and rare pokemon...
This week, I got my first FH3 Featured livery - my Hellboy livery, on the widebody Challenger Hellcat
It's also available for Charger Hellcat.
Next up, this week was the release of the first DLC pack for FH3.
The smoking tyre pack is a really good one, with the Huayra BC and Vulcan being the highlights.
For the Huayra, I set about creating a brand new piece.
This livery is an Italian Landscape at sunset. The colours really enhance the cars Italian styling, and looks great in the Australian sun.
With the Vulcan, I went simple, using a clean, matte carbon, James Bond livery. This car is amazing. Such grip, the sound, the looks. It's fantastic. One of my favourite cars in the game.
Working on a Kylo Wren livery for the Evo X, which should be done soon. Next up will be Halloween Bash!!
This week I was working on my Halloween Bash livery!
My 'Stephen King's IT' livery is now available on my Storefront for the Mclaren 570S (pictured) + Nissan S14
One of my best portraits ever, imo, with some real menace in Pennywise's eyes!
Lots of detail in the side too!
Haven't done much else on FH3 this week. Also got GOW4, so been playing a bit of that too.
I did get the forzathon achievements, and with a 1500+bhp Centenario, I'm going around getting 3 stars on all the speed traps. Will work on the rest of the drift ones after that.
This week, I'll be starting (and hopefully finishing) a Cortana livery. It will be made for the Warthog, but I'll put it on another car too. Undecided about which one yet. Suggestions?
As usual, I'll leave u all with a reminder that I'll be streaming on Wednesday night, 9pm UK/3pm US Central, and some screenshots I've taken during the week.
Sorry about the long delay with posting. I'm back at college now, so don't have as much time as I would usually.
Anyway, I'm my last update, I mentioned my Halo paint.
Here is the finished livery -
This livery was a request from a good friend of ours, Stuart Cullen (Gaming Journalist for The Scottish Sun). He's also a massive Halo fan and this livery (also available for the 2017 Ford F150) was shared in time for the Halo themed Forzathon event.
Next up, one of my favourite bands released a new album at the end of October, so I did a livery based on some of their art work. Got more planned in the future.
A lot of work went into that roof vinyl, so it will be used on other cars too.
After that, I began work on the first of three new prize cars for our team. Based on in-game photos taken by our legendary forzatographer, PTG Dano.
More coming soon about this.
After that, I started my CDTCC livery. I scraped my original work and started again with a Schumacher inspired livery. And it seems to have brought me luck....with a race victory in only it's 2nd league race, at Hockenheim, leaving me 2nd in the championship after 2 races!
Even Mercedes (twitter) commented saying it was a wonderful tribute.
My most recent livery is one of my most impressive, in my opinion.
This is my Blizzard Mountain livery.
A week and a half's work on this, was all totally worth it.
Available for the Lamborghini Huracan and the Ford Focus RS. More cars will be available soon.
That's it for me, probably my last update for the year.
I'll leave u all with a merry Christmas and some photos I've taken over the last few weeks.
The Game of Thrones Mercedes is stunning, imo. I really like how it came together, with thanks to my 'GOT Expert' Wife, who helped with some ideas.
Since then, we had the Mountain Dew Car pack release. Not a great pack, but it did contain the F50 GT, which was me happy. I painted a mountain Dew livery on the Mitsubishi Eclipse, which was part of the pack too, as I love the Fast and Furious livery, but wanted o do something a little different than the countless f&f liveries.
In anticipation for E3, I made a quick livery on my stream, for the Ford GT that turned out well, and got a lot of attention on twitter.
I've entered my first livery Contest since winning the IGN livery Contest in 2015 - Club Forza are hosting one on their FB page, that is open to anyone. I entered a Carerra GT livery, 'paying tribute to FH3 FM6 and FM7' (code for, I didn't have anything new)
I've put together a livery for SFC - Scuderia Ferrari Club, on their car of choice. Whilst simple, I think this 458 Speciale is very handsome.
(can u guys tell I've finished college for the summer??)
Finally, I started something special today.
I am, of course, hyped for Forza Motorsport 7 and the Xbox One X. Stop by my stream tomorrow night to see something cool take shape.
You can watch my painting streams, every Wednesday night, 9pm UK
Until next time, it's been my pleasure painting and sharing these paints with you,
some brilliant shots in that lot too
