Default Photoshop —*Martini 370Z Nismo

Hey guys, I am a fan of classic racing and also the Nismo 370Z. The Nismo, to me, evokes a budget Porsche GT3. Anyway, I wondered what a N 370Z would look like in Martini livery, then I tried it. Suits it well, I think.

^you don't know anything about car racing.

Neat concept, but not feeling it. A for effort and originality though.

This is a historic image. I'm not actually painting a car like this, I just enjoy using Photoshop...

Not a bad photoshop at all, just not feeling it on the 370.

Classic style just looks weird on a late model car.

Nice rendering!

That is good Photoshop work, I was going to use this as inspration for the PhotoShop thing Forged had going a month or two back but I got lazy. Give it a try. I think it would work pretty good with the 370's lines.

I think it looks great, but I've always liked the old Martini racing machines from the 70's and 80's. Good job - do it for real........

Your missing the main thing. The Martini circle logo. Everyone knows that image. If its not on there then its more like a bunch of kooky lines that make the car look dated not more aggressive or purposeful.
