Rendy's Car Skinning Life Ep 07: Completed Product and Polished Concept

It was a usual morning a week ago until I found out that the filming for Wynonna Earp's fourth season got delayed due to monetary issues from the production house. Tons of fans rallied on Twitter with the hashtag #FightForWynonna and has tagged SyFy and IDW Publishing accounts in hopes to make sure the filming can continue. I had no expectation that this day won't come and my show would face the same situation that once suffered other shows like Timeless, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Lucifer, with two of which were actually renewed after its original cancellation status. Apparently, this fight was also parallel to One Day At A Time as well given the show's production hiatus as well. Many brought their GIFs from the show, but many brought in fan arts and creations as well to help strengthen the rally, and show that there are a part of the Earpers with artistic tastes.

Yours truly? Well, I haven't considered making anything until I found out I actually made a Wayhaught MP4-12C a long time ago, and that I haven't done skinning in a while while I already packed myself a new concept at disposal, both the livery and the project. It's been quite a long time since I worked something along the lines of skinning which, actually, was almost a year ago when I reworked my old car and made something out of the Formula RaceRoom (and on a side note, I haven't touched any inches of the PVP Engineering Aston Martin yet, but I'll go into that later). Barring my work on the Bachelor's thesis, I focused myself on making some 3D stuffs just to learn myself at it and did a couple of watered down liveries I'd like to work in the future with the Wayhaught car's designs being one of them. Working with that, new ideas materialized and a new concept just popped.

Rendy's Car Skinning Life Ep 06: Reboot, Improve

I don't know what's happening with me but suddenly thoughts of skinning in TMUF got the best of me amidst my activities. While I've been sitting on couple competitions and the Fashion Week, it was a domino effect that actually led to a positive progress. Why? Here's a thing: it all actually started when I was going to make something as close as the Formula Gran Turismo in Gran Turismo 4 with whatever modern-day Formula car available on the TrackMania Carpark due to the fact that I couldn't resist after seeing tons of Gran Turismo F1500T-A skins on Gran Turismo Sport and that I don't have PS4 yet.

While I managed to create a simple skin with only one color to work on, I also decided to improve another WIP skin of mine: remember the Wayhaught MP4-12C GT3 from the previous post of the series? The skin has been improved in terms of sponsor stickers and numberplates which will also serve as the new numberplate for my skinning projects. I've been watching two seasons of Wynonna Earp and realized that maybe the car wasn't Earper enough for a skin that revolves around Wynonna Earp references, among other things. Other than that, the new numberplate and a special Aston Martin Vantage GTE project are also present.

Future Prospects for 2016

Here's to yet another exciting year! (Image: Digital Trends)

So, this is the first post of 2016 in RENDY'S BLOG. Opening up a new chapter, I am continuing some of my existing WIPs and making new ones. However, there will be changes of how I will do them as in real life I will be focusing on my Internship phase in my college before finally going to the final phase of making a Final Paper and finally getting some job. The playing field is vast, but once you have a certain focus or two you can narrow down and find your best field.

As always, I'm focusing on Turbo Sliders WIPs, but I've got some space for my skinning projects considering that the array of models since the last post about skinning has grown a lot and the roster has become more and more interesting as time progresses.
