[Sickbrush]

sounds awesome!

[Aksel Ludvigsen]

Does it have to touch the ground? Wheels?

[Pixie Trick]

Up to you. Just keep to the basic two "wheels" (or whatever you want to be propelling the thing.

[Sebastian Hampen]

Painted some thumbs last night. Maybe I am in, too. Last week was a shame=(
But cool design @ Sickbrush!

[Tawnos]

Number 4 is killah!

[Pixie Trick]

Due date has been moved ahead 1 day.

[nudity]

I'm' going to try to participate this week. here is a work in progress so far, need to practice my rendering...

[Pixie Trick]

nudity: I don't know if you're aware: if you do a render (which is a perfectly reasonable way to start) you must paint over all of the forms if it is to be entered in the finals. Great start!

[Gadbury]

My ID stuff is really bad so I thought I'd have a crack at this - so here's a bit of a sketch to start

B-wing inspired gyroscopic cockpic bike:

JUST KIDDING!

[Sickbrush]

Hey guys,
here's some thumbs from me, never really did vehicles much so they're kind of sucky sucky..
lovely work everyone!

[Sickbrush]

a little more fun before bed:

[Kino_PuA]

Sickbrush I love the concept of #1 but would love the position of sitting down forward like in #2.

[AdrianNagorski]

Riding motorcycles is fun, but uncomfortable ,things change in the future, if you ride sport bikes your ankles almost touch your buttocks, faster speeds mean pulled back on the bike and blurred vision, I say no more!

planning to show that a female lying down on the bike which can recline as shown with most of the ref pics i added, gonna try tech up this bike, hopefully work doesn't get in the way and i can beat Sick brush LOL

My initial idea and layout plan some perspective faults on the back wheel, this things gonna be a challenge !!!!

[AdrianNagorski]

Thunderstorm out side better turn the pc off

[Sebastian Hampen]

had some time laste night to have a little renderfun
I hope I´ll find some more time on sunday to finish it

[Sebastian Hampen]

@ nudity
. its a very interesting concept. What I dont get though is: It looks like a light cross machine but it has no suspension on the front wheel , which would make jumping a pretty shitty experience I guess. Also it has 2 seats but looks too light to be a comfortable ride for 2 people.

@ gadbury.
Its an awesome design since it looks fotobase which machine inspired you?

@ poetcgarble
very nice idea, but i think the cockpit would need something to stabilize it, also it somehow looks flipped upside down

@lkjhgfdsa
i really like old the engine parts between the plating, for my personal taste it looks a little to stretched

@Adrian
I like your idea alot, you´d probably feel ultrafast riding in such a low position, almost touching the street, I ´m looking forward to seeing it more refined!

@sickbrush
very imaginative kick-ass concepts so far ! did you start your thumbs in alchemy?
from wip 2 I really really like the second one from the top, it looks like a jaguar somehow an is very powerfull

[Gadbury]

Sebastian Hampen - I collected a load of bike pictures and used parts I liked for a base, so not really any one bike

Here's an update, changed the design a bit. I like the back end but the front half is horrible

[poeticgarble]

heres how mine's turning out.

rebuilt the front and rear forks to hold the hubless wheels and made the suspension more functional.

[AdrianNagorski]

Seeing as time is my problem gonna just duplicate the layer for a darker out line/pencil lines and jump in with the painting part.

Sebastian Hampen: it would be super insane to ride at 200km/h on this thing!! imagine if a truck hits you, might be able to go lower enough to go under a truck. Good rendering of metal tubing you've done.

Mr. Gadbury: I think it was an interview with Syd Mead on youtube that i watched and he said in future designs things would be more curvy, also please look at the front nose of a yamaha R1 2009 model its like a half curve front nose ,that might get you to brainstorm something.??

Probably my last wip post i'll just post if and when im finished

[AdrianNagorski]

Okey . . . tons still to do, said i wouldn't post , couldnt hold back! ANY CRITIQUE?

poeticgarble: liking the free central axle less wheels

[Sickbrush]

hi guys.. here's some more variations i did on the livestream:

_

[Sickbrush]

also did this just in case my commissions stop me from making a more finished piece


p.s. - Sebastian - i remember that evening i wanted to start Alchemy but for some reason it didn't work so i made some quick PS brushes, randomized them and made the initial madness shapes. Then i went on top and refined a little more.
