With the Forza Motorsport 3 landing on 360 today, I thought it might be cool to celebrate the event by reposting some of the decal artwork I did in Forza 2 many moons ago:

Just click the images for the higher res versions over at Flickr. And yes, I’m aware there was a spelling mistake which I did fix (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you didn’t read this)!

The painting/artwork stuff really interested me but it was rather time-consuming and pretty troublesome given that you had to find a car with a big, flat surface to work on when designing stuff, then save it out and position where you actually wanted it. Forza 3 promises to make that easier by allowing you to design decals in 2D completely away from the car and then save out the decal group. From there you can apply it to the car or even stick it on the FM3 Storefront and sell it for in-game credits!

Can’t wait to try out the new editor! I really must get round to finishing this design as well:
