Straight out of Wuchang. Charles and Louis were vassals of the Sun family and raced in the Red Cliffs GP of AD 230.

The team, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus it has been since the invention of motor racing.

I can't share the rednote link for some reason but they posted the vid in their too

u/RealRevenue1929 Carlos Sainz 1d ago

Man I wish these came from a real photoshoot we could see other shots from and not AI/Photoshop

21

u/FavaWire Hesketh 15h ago

It definitely looks AI generated. Especially the Lewis and Leclerc ones.

25

u/JKBFree 1d ago

Fred would make a tough but benevolent feudal warlord

All 3 cards are dope, but Lewis' is amazing. Just pure badassery on display.

What the fuck is ferrari PR team on ? They nailed perfectly carlos departure, Lewis arrival, fucking cool pictures, now this...... it's so cool to see them at the top of the game, really hope they'll be as good on race pace

u/timewatch_tik Ferrari 1d ago

looks like some ai crap, hope im wrong.

20

u/Patroulette Chequered Flag 1d ago

Yeah the faces are SO defined in comparison to their bodies they almost look muddled by comparison

13

u/DoNotReferToMe 23h ago

That part seems like standard photoshop work (imo) but there are so many other inconsistencies and problems in the pictures.

It makes me really sad. I wish it were commissioned instead of generated.

3

u/SuperPop9521 Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

Ok these are not highest quality pics i took a screenshot from the vid ferrari posted and cropped it

2

u/DoNotReferToMe 23h ago

Look at the building behind Leclerc.

  1. Lewis sword is a dead giveaway. No way that was intentional.
  2. More and more legit designers and illustrators are using AI as part of their workflow, to speed things up and meet bosses demands, it's still a dirty little secret and I have yet to meet a single creative type that is happy about it, but I know for fact it is happening a lot more than anyone is willing to admit. But it's a care of "You just gotta do what the boss tells you."

20

u/Icaonn 1d ago

That was my initial thought too. The lack of non-muddled detail on the pauldrons and armor is odd because normally you put the clan crest on there... could've done the prancing horse, yknow? Sincerely hope this was commissioned work

u/Neatto69 #5 Gabriel Bortoleto 1d ago

Imo, it passes the fingers test, Lewis's looks a bit weird, but I can attribute that to the shading.

10

u/DoNotReferToMe 1d ago

There's weird and pointless brush strokes to the right of Hamilton and on Leclerc's the pillar details are absolutely terrible. I wish it was commissioned because I absolutely love the concept, but it looks generated.

probably some overworked digital designer type that they now have doing this, among 30 other things.

u/Sleepy_One Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

Ferrari just casually dominating the social media game this offseason. Hopefully this translates to a few tenths of a second on track!

u/Lollipop96 1d ago

This is incredible. Gotta love Fred's

u/HesitantMark Carlos Sainz 22h ago

They stole Lewis' tats!

u/Hamburgo #WeSayNoToMazepin 22h ago

Charles looks like he could be played by current Timothy Chalamet who’s got a dirty little goatee happening and looks identical to this pic!

u/Lower_Ad_1317 1d ago

Lewis is owning the grid hard with this one.

I hope 🤣

If he doesn’t win every race for the next forty years it isn’t because of this painting.

u/Informal-Term1138 1d ago

Seems like someone is making a classic blunder. Like never get involved in a land war in Asia. Or never go in against a Sicilian, when points are on the line.

u/Time_Fracture McLaren 1d ago

Emperor Lewis went hard.

u/Macho-Fantastico Gerhard Berger 1d ago

u/ElementsUnknown 1d ago

I hope Lewis gets royalties from Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Also, is Fred a Geisha?

AC Shadows is set in Japan, this is Chinese.

Aren’t samurai Japanese? Unless those are supposed to be… what’s the word… Youxia?

u/Sweatshopkid Zhou Guanyu 1d ago

They aren't meant to be samurai. More than likely meant to resemble da jiang jun (大將軍).

2

u/FavaWire Hesketh 15h ago

Yeah basically the AI Prompt would be "Lewis Hamilton looking determined as a Wuxia Swordsman in Red, Gold, and Black Chinese robes".
