Does anyone like fantasy cars or some of the alternate or wild paint schemes you see on the sim sites? Just would like some input good or bad...
Reason being is this....I thought I may make some, I have 24 donor bodies ready to go, decal art all done, and a full week off with no distractions.. Thought to try to make just some extra dollars on the bay, mostly Earnhardt stuff cause that seems to sell well. Not trying to break the bank, just a bit o fun money ya know? My wife worked two jobs for over a year and a half so I could finish school (Graduating Aug 1 !!! ) and I wanted to do something as a surprise without her seeing a drain in the ol bank account so she wouldn't be any wiser...and it truly be a surprise. That being said, I also know alot of people look down on 'em because they were never on track. What would I call them? Custom Tributes? Now I'm starting to second guess doing it from the bad vibes on some other boards.
Ok then...lets hear it about it good or bad fellas...keep it clean Brandon,,

I guess some like them and some don't. Although I can say when I was selling on eBay I offered and sold hundreds of Earnhardt Sr and Jr "fantasy" sheets. Probably the most popular was the Jr Bud Light schemes I did. I did 30 or 40 fantasy sheets, most Dale Sr and Jr but some other drivers also. They always sold well. I made a lot of custom diecasts with the fantasy decals and those also sold well. I haven't printed any sheets or done any fantasy diecasts for years though. I have lots of pictures if you'd like to see any.

Great work man! Sorry that guy took your art. The only similarity to yours I'm doing is the blue e-stripe on a silver car but not those logo/fonts, so I hope no offense.. I actually bought one of those sheets from the guy in japan....total crap, and I couldn't get myself to buy a t-wolf decal set from ebay, so it inspired me to do my own. And after doing all my own art work for 24 cars, I can see why alot of people who make decals are veeeeerrry skeptical of others.... I felt your pain. No one truly know how much just goes into artwork alone.
Send as much as you want bother, I would love to see your work! I like flip or reverse paints and concepts of different sponsors
