Kawaii Motorsports Mercedes-Benz 190E EVO II #26 1.0

Tackled this as a challenge more than anything. Wondered if it was possible to replicate this livery onto the 190E EVO II, and as I did my research, realized many of the assets that make up the design were adaptable. Took a few liberties with styling the spoiler and such, but hope this is a faithful take on the real life design.

I just winged this on my own without permissions, so all credit goes to the owner of the car, as well as the designers and artists who made the design a reality. Links to respective sites and profiles in the next paragraph.



This livery definitely takes influence from the AMG racing cars run in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series in 1991. This is most easily indicated by the 'East' logos and distinctive body stripes. However, this is then blended with the owner's affiliations with 'Kawaii Motorsports' and 'Voodoo Autosport'. The mascot of the itasha is the infamous Astolfo of Fates fame, skillfully illustrated by artist 'Ninecolor' in three stylish costumes. The livery follows Astolfo's palette of pink and gold, blending the character with the DTM layout.











So if you're a weirdo into itasha, or just desperate for more DTM liveries for your grid, I invite you to give this a try. Really pleased how it came together, so please enjoy ^_^.
