Initially designed in May 2023 for a private league championship, went under several modifications/overhauls in August 2023 (minor) and January 2024 (major), in order to publish it online.
Initially, I wanted to make a green skin, as in-game built shade of green are not very beautiful, which saddens me A LOT. I was always inspired by South Africa's Rugby union color combo, green and gold, one of my favorite. But I also like very much white with green. So green white and gold ! I struggled to find a nice motif to incorpore. I created random white and gold on Illustrator which I randomly twisted on Substance to see what's beautiful (at least to me). I rapidly had the idea to paint the outside part of the bonnet in white and gold.
Main sponsor : Hitachi-LG Data Storage. Very common optical drive manufacturer, maybe yours is one. Initially I came to idea of making a skin around the brand through
the "HL-DT-ST" acronym. I think it's kind of "striking" Logo-only ("H-L") version looks nice too !
Originally, I wanted to make a skin with the same magenta and white.
Arirang : free-to-air private Korean channel made to conquer the world through hallyu.
Jeju : a South Korean island (yeah, I'm a kind of koreaboo), logo of the Jeju Special Administrative Province. In the first design, logo was just on the rear plate part to mock US plate with states.
Foster's : it's random. Beer brand once everywhere on racing advertising (mainly 90s/2000s)
Grand Mandarin : it's class and China-esque so I like it
Davidoff : cigars manufacturer, and definitely not the cheapest one. I bought one once and then it gave me the idea to put the logo on a skin.
Henri Bardouin : above-average pastis brand. It's a southern France thing. I like pastis very much.
Please enjoy !
