dont let these clowns tell you what you should and shouldnt make. if you want to make dragon badges then do it. if yall are that upset over it maybe dont subscribe to the mod? problem solved.

Good work！Can you make some signs of Japanese cars?

dragon deez nutsz

Also: I am sorry for my initial reaction. I have gotten quite angry. I shouldn't have. I didn't mean to come off like I have a superiority complex. I just simply overreacted. I am quite bad at dealing with anger and I am quite emotionally unstable. While that is no excuse, I don't want anyone to come away thinking I just simply a bad person or something. Someone telling me that I should have just put no extra work into it (little as it may be) just makes me disappointed and angry, like as if it was a personal attack against me, even though I eventually realise that it really isn't. In all honesty, maybe I will do some real badges in the future, but as for right now I just simply don't have the interest in them. I am sorry, but I am the wrong person to ask for something like this. I am just simply creating these packs for myself and do the things I like to do. Otherwise, I don’t think I could have gotten the motivation to spend all those many hours working on it.

I don't strive for originality with these badges, in fact I would argue I do the opposite. I do not claim to be an artist, I do these things more as a challenge to myself. I do not seek fame or whatever, I mostly just do these for fun. I do not mean to insult anyone with my decisions nor did I mean to put myself above others. I am not an artist, I am just useing paint.

As for why I use dragons:
Firstly, I just like them (I mean, who would have known after like 350 badges?)
Secondly, they are very flexible. Almost every culture has some type of dragon and I can thus include them pretty much everywhere. Not many other things Ilike have that type of felxability or lend themselves well to car badges. For example, I don't think a badge pack about the political landscape of the 20th century would work that well, though that eastern block pack is definitely coming... (get ready for a lot of pictures of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping)
And then there are things like rollercoasters and drumming which I really like, but I just can't fit into a car badge... maybe like a one off, but that's it.

At this point i'm 90% sure you have a dragon fetish, i do agree with johnkilo3, you just do dragons and your designs aren't original, it's pretty much real brands with a dragon png on it, at this point it's better to just make the real brands.

But none memey answer: I disagree with your take.
It's not about putting the effort in, I think everbody could be doing what I am doing. I am not a 3D designer, I use paint to do these.
I just think that no other person would ever think about doing such a thing. Why would anyone else do something like this? Create like 350 dragon themed badges for a niche game?
I would. Thanks what I am doing what I'm doing. I get that they get repetative... I should know... but I just simply want to do it just to say that I have done that. Who else could say something like this about them.
I have no skills in designs, I am just dedicated. I don't even know unreal engine. I just learned anything and probably spent over 100 hours doing this already...

Also, I use simple shapes for a resone: Car badges are always very simple and I don't want to unessesarily complicate them. I think beauty is in minimalism. One of my favorite badges is the Drake (Ford) Badge, which was a very quick job involving just removing the text, adding Text in a fancy font and adding a dragon siluette in the background...
I agree that sometimes I just do something without any effort. There are so many badges that aren't interesting at all or brands that I don't care at all for. I still want to do them because I want to end up with a complete collection. I don't really care what you think of me, but that's my reasoning. I probably will do original badges and such with and without dragon themeing afterwards. But for now I am happy with what I'm doing and will continue to do so regardless of negative feedback (unless it is a recommendation of course)...

right, I'll make them all themed to mao zedong

I get not wanting to make 1:1 copies, but do they really all have to be dragon themed? You could make alternate history versions of the actual ones. I feel like making everything dragon themed paints you into a corner more than using an actual one. It also makes all the companies seem too similar, like they're all part of the same automotive group. Also, you say "I don't like to just simply copy designs without any change and because I want to add a personal touch," but all you're doing is just taking a real badge and slapping a dragon silhouette on it... it's hardly an original design, or even really an altered design of the actual, real badge.

sorry I just had a personal crisis. It's all fine now.

What I was trying (and failing) to say was that I don't like using real badges, because I always find that restricting. Once I use a real badge, I want to create a real car and everything else just feels wrong. I also don't like to just create a car with no reference, as I always like to make myself a challenge, most often "can I create a car better than x". I like this approach because it gives me complete control over design while also giving me a reference and comparison. The reason I won't just do real badges is because I don't like to just simply copy designs without any change and because I want to add a personal touch. I am also making these first and foremost for myself and thus I don't just want to start exporting real badges. If it isn't what you are looking for, then I'm sorry, but I sure as hell know that making up names and doing twists on designs is what keeps me motivated.

Just copying real badges would be the boring part for me and I do not wish to waste my lifetime on that, even if more people would enjoy it. I also do not like people fetishizing these big companies and that's certainly a big part of my reasoning.
Though, I must admit, I don't really know what I'm doing after all. I just do what I like and every time I see a positive comment under something I have done it fills me with intense joy. I don't care about it being downloaded and used by as many people as possible, I just want to do things I enjoy and hope others can find enjoyment in them too.
And if all that fails, at least I will still have the feeling that I did what I wanted to do. I don't want to simply export badges and be reduced to the labour I do, be replaceable, I want to be my own person doing things nobody else is doing instead of just being another person exporting real badges. I appreciate their work, but it is just not for me.

I am sorry if this response is a bit longwinded, but these are my honest feelings about this. I am sorry if I upset anyone or if I made anyone mad. To be fair, the internet anonymises everybody so well, that I can't have a visualisation of anybody reading this - that means you, dear reader- and same goes for you. It is sometimes hard to remember that people have lives and intense inner thoughts and opinions if all you are seeing is just online posts. I can understand if you are frustrated with me or seem to think I'm irrational or something, but I know what I'm doing (unless when I don't) and am happy with doing this specifically. I would a thousand times rather be known as that weird guy who created 500 dragon badges for automation, than that guy who just exported real ones.

so...you're saying you add dragons to random badges because you want people to use less of the real companies? you do realize people only use these badges for 1:1 recreations or rip-offs of the cars these brands make...right?

Oh I checked there is a Powerstroke badge lol

I'm sorry, copying real badges is not my thing... I don't think I'll ever do that, just out of sheer petty spite... I do not like these massive corperations and I always like to do my own take on their badges, so that less people use theirs... Maybe I am just full of petty spite, maybe I just have some resembelence of artistic integrety left...
Yeah, it's the former, but also I just don't feel comfortable stealing other peoples designs without adding my own touch...
Overall, I don't think I will do that, sorry.

no, I just have a whole lot of dedication and a lot of things to procrastonate about...
in truth I just take the OG badge most of the Time and change some things around / Add a dragon related Image/ pun/ etc. Then I use an alpha map generator online to get that and export it to beam with the SDK. That's the easy part btw...
Also, Paint 3D is a bad programm that lags my pc to shit and causes my explorer to break every time...

Real GMC and Dodge please!!
And Duramax Powerstroke, and even Cummins?

YESSS FINALLY WE HAVE A CADILLAC BADGE LOL!!!

hey man you make a lot of badges in such a short time do you have like a basic badge ou something that makes then easier?
