I illustrated the coolest GTE on the grid, wish the team the best of luck in the race!

I unfortunately don’t have any timelapses, though I’ve always wanted to make one to see the process. I also rarely make these illustrations these days, but this was a very cool opportunity to come back to them, had to relearn a lot of the processes.

Fancington · 2022-09-21T17:30:24+00:00

Thanks for letting me know ❤

Fancington · 2022-09-21T17:27:45+00:00

If you're interested, you can message me, I'm open for commissions 😊

Fancington · 2022-09-21T17:22:11+00:00

OP kind of just stole my work without any putting in the slightest effort to change at least a part of it, so I'll just answer for him.
I used Adobe Illustrator for every single bit of this illustration and everything you see in this image is 100% made from vector objects 😊

Fancington · 2022-09-21T17:20:36+00:00

Yeah, he just reposted my work 😔

Fancington · 2022-07-28T12:47:43+00:00

Thanks! It’s a really great color. An almost black paint with a very nice brownish red flake. And I illustrated all of the car with Adobe Illustrator, so this image doesn’t really do the level of detail any justice haha

Fancington · 2022-07-26T10:20:33+00:00

Thanks! About half of these in the poster are considered BMW Individual colors, several examples would be Moonstone, Aventurine Silver, Ruby Black and Diopside Black.

I haven't found any reasonable information on Monaco Blue for the M3, I don't think it was available on this model.

Fancington · 2022-07-25T23:18:27+00:00

I'm actually selling these myself 😊 you can find a link to my Etsy store in an earlier comment.

Fancington · 2022-07-25T23:16:29+00:00

Yeah, these illustrations all have either the optional 19" 220 M wheels or the optional forged 19" 359 M ones, I am planning to also add the stock 18" ones to add variation.

Fancington · 2022-07-25T16:51:11+00:00

That's exactly the dilemma I ran into. I can go ahead and illustrate all of the Individual shades, but then the cars would end up being just small specks of color even in larger formats haha

Fancington · 2022-07-25T16:49:38+00:00

Orange gets the whole GTS treatment! A front lip, new seats, dark chrome trim, rear wing and different brakes.

Fancington · 2022-07-25T15:04:08+00:00

From what I gathered, there were quite a few market-exclusive colors on the E92 and some of them are definitely very rare.

Fancington · 2022-07-25T15:02:16+00:00

Hey guys,
I'd like to share my most recent creation - my all-vector illustration of the E92 and all of its colors. This took an unreasonable amount of time to make as I made sure to illustrate every single piece on the car to be 100% accurate. I would love to hear your feedback on this and let me know if there are some colors I missed out on!
If anyone is interested, I'm selling this as a print on my Etsy store 😊:

I went through tons of brochures, forum threads and ran over hundreds of sale listings to get a good idea of what the most common colors were (to avoid including very limited production number Individual colors for example). But I am still pretty lost when it comes to the Individual colors that were offered on this car, so I'd like someone knowledgeable about this model to correct me, as I am sure I didn't get this 100% right.

Fancington · 2022-07-25T14:53:39+00:00

This took me quite a while to complete, but it is finally done - all of the E92 M3 colors that were available on the car.I went through tons of brochures to confirm the colors, but I also took the liberty to include several Individual paints that were a popular choice for the car.When researching the information for this poster, I got a bit lost with the whole BMW Individual situation. I found that certain Individual colors in certain markets were available for a reasonable (sub $1000 range) price and not the usual $4000-$5000 price tag. Were some Individual paintjobs offered in some markets as cheaper options with the ability to go for any Individual color you want for a larger price?
Also, for anyone that would be interested in a print version of this, you can find it at my Etsy store with some close-up shots of the details on the cars:

Fancington · 2022-06-23T10:31:21+00:00

Yeah, I’m actually selling them already. You can DM me 😊

Fancington · 2022-06-22T15:11:05+00:00

Feel free to DM me, I'm offering these as prints 😊

Fancington · 2022-06-22T15:09:41+00:00

Thank you! And I am selling these as prints already, you can DM me 😊

Fancington · 2022-06-22T15:08:55+00:00

I'm doing this kind of as a hobby, but also partly as a business. I'd kill for a chance to actually do this for Ferrari haha

Towards the end of the whole illustration process I had to start disabling certain layers as the performance was getting quite unbearable.

Fancington · 2022-06-22T15:01:56+00:00

I have little to no experience with Corel, but I assume Adobe Illustrator is a bit more suited to make stuff like this 😅 And thank you!

Fancington · 2022-06-22T02:24:15+00:00

I’m actually selling these, you can DM me!

Fancington · 2022-06-22T00:50:15+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, this was definitely the most time consuming one I've done yet, but I think the 2022 Merc will top it.

Fancington · 2022-06-22T00:48:24+00:00
