Artist's Comments

Karmann Ghia, the legendary Beetle's sexier sibling! Haha, nothing much to say about this one, other than I really like the car!

This painting is based on K-Project's track car, hence the rear fenders and other race mods. It was also equipped with a GT wing, but I left that out as I think it doesn't really fit the car :p

I had a hard time choosing between a multitude of colours that would look great on this car, but I've finally settled on this creamy tone that was originally available with this car. There's another version with a more modern colour scheme here: [link]

Thank you! I tried fixing the fuzz a bit, couldn't do much, I think it looks a teeny bit better now, and oh, it's got the carbon fibre front lip too now, but you gotta squint to see it :p
