Ok some of these pics now are from just before that black and white one above.

Well this happened a couple of times which was heaps of fun..


As I said earlier a I am having the clay digitally scanned on thursday so I want one side of the model finished (as much as possible) by then. So I wanted to try blocking in some other shapes on the bike before I pick by final design and start refining/ finishing surfaces.





This is where shit gets ****ed up haha *note to self* when its 5 in the morning and your running on no sleep and a case of redbull, put down the knife! haha



*Warning* you may want to cover your eyes!









So with that nonsense out of the way I was now even more confident in my chosen direction.

So the bike gets clayed back up again and I can start shaping my desired form.
Balancing the top so I can get a better idea of top 3/4 view.



Back in the right direction
*kneedraon, notice cut outs on the top tube for forearm clearance/comfort when hanging off the side :P



Checking/fixing highlights

Thanks for sharing.

[JamesE30]

Thanks guys!
Here's a shot from tonight. Kind of gives you an idea of scale

[Sailor37]

Just your first page of sketches blew me away...and your model just tops it off.

You have some real talent...I'm jealous.

aaaaaaaaaaawesome. if you had a dad who loved to bitch you out every so often, you'd have a show on discovery channel by now.

[JamesE30]

^haha Cheers guys!


OK so I know I said I was scanning it today... buuuuuutttt as with all big projects like this, sometimes you just fall a little behind schedule. There were still a few things I wanted to change/fix before the scan, So I've rearranged it for Monday. Gives me a few more days to really nut out the design and get the surfaces right without rushing it too much.. Better to take the time and get it right the 1st time than to rush it and want to change it again later.

So here is a shot from 1/2hour ago:

Clay is still coming along, don't have any pics to upload atm, but here is another render. This one's just a quickie before bed ;)
