Hi,

I'm from the Netherlands, 15 years old. I'm into pixel/manga tuning. I want a FC3S when i'm 18 (the age when you can get your drivers license in the Netherlands) but that was a bit offtopic. I'm really in love whit the second gen. rx7's so i decided to make a base of this lovely car, i began whit the side, but my problem is now that i can't find any usable reference pics of a FULLY Stock Savanna FC3S (or almost stock, doesn't matter if it has other rims or something, but the body has to be stock). So i ask you if you have some good pics of the FC3S, JDM version if thats possible but others are welcome too.

Work In Progress (if you're interested )



And i'm new here but after i got this pics, i will not leave this board. It's a nice board and i like FC- and FD3S' so this account is not only for this. And, sorry for my bad english. :')

Would appreciate it,

RMD

Welcome to the forums! Great to see another FC fan.

wow, really nice fc man. too bad its not fully in black, but with the silver color it looks cool too. Also nice Volk GTC's. Will definately pixel your car if i'm ready with the base!

RB_eater : thanks! that are usefull pics.

does somebody also have pics from front and rear ? like the blueprint, so i can check on accuracy.

Uhm, first i was a year into Picture tuning (pics of cars, i think you understand what i mean) and i hated pixel/mangacars but then i made a pixelcar and thought, hey this is kinda cool lol. then i started whit a good base and tune it very simple. posted it on some forums and people gave tips and comments. so i was a bit motivated by the comments and made a second tune. and now i'm pixeling 1,5 year or so. in the beginning i sucked pretty hard. but if you put some effort in it and take your time, you will learn fast, after a half year you can be pretty good.

some tips if you start pixeling :

don't do too much on your first tunes. keep it subtile in the beginning.
tune newer bases with good shading/aa. starting with a good base will help the tune to look better.
and last, don't brush or any other photoshop trick, just the pixeltool, or use ms paint. gimp or something is used too in some times but i dunno. i only work with ms paint and photoshop cs2.


K!NCH thank you too, some usefull pics!

That's been bugging me for a while. I see those signature pictures everywhere, is there a guide for making them? Wouldn't mind making one for my Vert.

www.pixelcars.com

that's the best site with all the good and bad bases from almost every thinkable car and there's a tutorial section with good tips and tuts for beginners

yea RMD i was alittle upset the only one they have on PCL is a S5 or if you can get this S4 right please let them use the base.

RMD

If this is finished they can use this if they credit.

but do you guys have some pics of a stock savanna in front and rear view ?
