r/Itasha

Took a lot of work, drafts, and a mix of people's artful opinions to make this happen.
Dropped it off Monday morning, got it back Friday morning

Palmer Signs of Rancho Cordova did a fantastic job on this
So proud of them and thankful to their hard work

What do you guys think?!

Got this vintage Matchbox at a local Toy Convention recently in pretty beat up shape (last pic). Unfortunately, there were no available decals for her, so I decided to challenge myself and freehand paint Haru Urara as practice (since well, it's a Dirt Rally Car).

Pretty proud of the result, took me about 3 hours.

I'll make this into a reality once I get my first car.

2016 Mazda 3 Hatchback; Brand new Itasha - Installed 06/26

(Ignore rear tint, someone broke window)

So Im thinking about putting a Gold Ship (black dress)

Onto my LS, but im reluctant to do so because

1. She's my daily driver

2. Its an LS

3. I live in Texas

Should I just buy another car and not ruin the LS?

This was a plan for a vtuber I like and yes I know its that kind of art I had them hep me but it’s rough idea and car I was plan on using is either a boosted c6 z06 or a c6 zr1 that’s been wrecked in the front and fix it myself

Would I be insane putting tribals on a FWD 5 door car?

Another car as I practice painting cars the "cleaner" way (I usually do cel-shaded)

I plan to make more Itashas, just need more RC Car bodies that are small enough lol.

Hood, Petals, Body Color, Extra Details are Handpainted, the rest decals.

Finally achieved a major long-term goal of mine and got my first itasha! Loving it so far and planning on posting lots of pictures @nino.gr86 on instagram!
