Slurpees anyone?

Back from another trip to the FM4 paint booth.  This paint job was a request from an Exodus member back almost a month ago.  Don't know if he's still looking to run it, but I was finally able to take a crack at it.  I figured it would make a good first design to try and sell on the storefront.
Both 7-Eleven logos were built by me just looking at a small picture for reference.  I think they look pretty good considering, though I do think the scale is off a little but hard to really tell without a grid.  Already sold a few of the logos on the storefront.  Would like to build some more custom logos or may have to see about trading for some unlocked ones (can eat up a lot of time working on logos).

'65 Pony Drag

Phantomwerkz '65 Mustang built up for an Exodus Racing, American Muscle Car Drag series.  Pre-1980, RWD, American Muscle Car with a 450HP limits.  This runs around 11.7s @ 121mph in the 1/4 and managed to take 2nd place in last night's club race.  Had some great close races with a '62 Vette, '66 Nova II and then finally Popalac's '79 Camaro that took it all in the 5th of 5 runs in the finals by half a car legnth.  Pretty fun for our first drag race series go around in FM4.  More to come from the EHRA soon.

Drag-n-Vette

Phantomwerkz Drag-n-Vette built up for an Exodus Racing, American Muscle Car Drag series.  Pre-1980, RWD, American Muscle Car with a 450HP limits.  I've been able to consistently run 11.9s @ 120mph in the 1/4 with it (high 11.8 occasionally).  Nothing like a growling 7.0 liter, V-8 Big Block wrapped in a sexy fiberglass body.

Super Spec Miata

Spec Miata is a great, super fun series to race.  After seeing the '10 MX-5 Concept in FM4, I had an idea to create a "Super" Spec Miata series car.  Here's what I came up with.
Thinking that this can be put together to run in a multi-class spec race series.  We'll see what the EXOR guys think.

Forza 4 has arrived!!

Forza Motorsport 4 released this week and man is it awesome!!  I've only been able to check it out just a smidge, but I did try out the new vinyl import feature.  Here's the results after making some small changes to the scheme from the FM3 car.  (can't wait to work on some more paints and vinyl creations.)

Finished up the trim on the TVR and finished it up in a minimalistic style but shows off the updated logo (another version, lol) a little better.

Still messing... back to the plain checker flag banner but added a gradient fade.  Also a "break" line in the EXODUS and EXOR parts.  Displayed here on a couple of candidates for the "what car is uniquely Exodus" thread.

Modified the flag/banner and added "No Assist".  Also showing the option of a "lighter" version by going grey since I thought maybe the black version was "heavy" with the additional words.  Could always go with other colors for trim or team/driver identification.

Made some subtle refinements on the logos and placed them on a nice clean LFA.  
Thinking this may be my new "showcase" car for putting on paints and vinyls.  ;-)

Exodus Racing Logo Creation

The head of Exodus Racing is looking to freshen up the current "default" logo.  I like the current design and was just looking for a way to do something in the same vein and yet just different enough.  This is the first attempt.  I'm trying to keep the vinyl count low and at this point it's not yet a transparent version (though color matching of the background will work for Normal colors.  We'll see what feedback comes through on this.  I still see things that can be tweaked but I'm happy with the basic idea.  I would also like to make different versions with text only or or "graphic" change ups for use in some of our "non-racing" games.

Welcome to Phantomwerkz-Designz!

The primary purpose for now (subject to change of course) is to showcase my car paint liveries and design work for the Turn 10 series of games FORZA MOTORSPORT.

So for now... here's the latest:
