Welcome to my gallery of all things painted in FM!

---

Real name Alex, a 32 year old Business Analyst for Global water company and Freelance Graphic Designer, Digital Illustrator, Typographer & self confessed Forza Addict.

Ive been playing since Forza 1 but only really started painted halfway through FM2. Painted for myself and a few garages along the way and learnt a lot of wrong ways of painting, but over the years found a lot on new ways and techniques which hopefully shows in my paints today. I'm always try to push the limits of what can be created but tend to orient myself more towards the race liveries than fantasy, even though i do occasionally paint them.

Got any questions, suggestions or randomness to ask, just PM me!
I'm open to guiding and helping where I can so don't be afraid to drop me a message here or via PM.

See you online so add me or fav me
Alex

can't wait to see what you'll be (re)creating in forza 6 AB!

Hey Alex, im excited to see whatelse you have in store, i will be picking up a few of these paints later

Great collection to kick things off with AB, picked up the Sachs Capri the other day, very nice.

Designs looking great and neat as always.

Nice work as always :)

Just wondering, could you put your Nurburgring 24 Hour numberboard up on the sharefront?
I plan on creating various series numberboards and would like to use yours as reference.

Hi my friend!

Well done, love some of these. In a few days me too i'll be in FM6.

ciao

Can I haz paints!?!?!?!?!?

Looking good AB

Great work as always!!!
Wait! Where's the 97 Civic? I love that thing!!!!!!

Looks good so far AB!!

Good stuff Alex! Picked a couple of your paints up already, I'll be grabbing some more later.

Looking great as always AB!!!!

Love dat Volvo.

Awesome designs as always AB! Keep up the great work, I gotta say I love them all but that TWR Volvo is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait for more.

Great stuff as always!!!

hoping things improve as the official launch happens....as there are still some paints I simply can't transfer over from Horizon 2 or FM5. They just simply spin and spin on the loading screen.

Can you share any special techniques you have found in getting some of our paint files transferred over?

Id love to see the BeeR R33 make a comeback.

Hey AB! Great to see you back in and working on new stuff. Also good to the Flying Miata back!

Awesome stuff, ill be picking up the Volvo and the RX-7 later!

You might want to check out this thread;

http://forums.forzamotor...porting-fm5-designs.aspx

Not seen any reported problems of importing FH2 paints but an issue with importing designs from fm5 that feature the lower case a from fonts tab 1 & 7.

AB - great to have you back around this time and I'm all over getting me some Kabuki goodness, wanted that design even before I had the XBone - was one of the first I searched out on FM5 on the LFA but looking good on the R34 as well.

Cheers

D

Dude, my garage always has a paint or 5 of yours, look forward to new stuff!
