Final Direction

So this is what I think I'm gonna work with... I tried to make it kind of stealthy.. especially with the exhaust being like a F23's exhaust. Different paint would help the stealthiness but for now matte silver is the deal. I think its better than my original angular concept but I'd like to know what you guys think should change.

Narrowing it Down

Here are some more sketches I did searching for a final design. I came across some photos of some old board track racers, and that's what inspired these.

I really liked the look of the blade style forks. These would work like normal forks, but the moving parts are hidden from view, so it appears the wheel is floating up and down between them.



This is a composite of a few sketches from above, and the ideal direction I'm heading. I'm going to integrate the exhaust a bit better on future iterations. I figured stuff like that might become more apparent once I start drawing it from different angles, and working out volumes.

Bike painting WIP

I started this the other night, trying to find a nice composition and lighting. Bike design: not really sure what I'm doing, although in this case I'm focusing more on the illustration than the vehicle.

Next Step

Alright guys, it seems as though we have a decent idea of what direction we should go... So I guess we should start narrowing down the single direction. Go at your own pace though... It would be cool though to keep the same pace of production from last week. That was awesome haha.

Anyways its up to you to decide what you need to do so lets do it!

Quickie before vacation

Side views and I never really did get along... I'll be working on some perspectives once I get back from the cabin. Until then it's all play and no work.

Karim Rashid Bike and another bike

So its 6 am and I pulled an all nighter for absolutely no reason... decided to design a bike Karim Rashid would like lol. Its got in wheel motors haha

I don't really know about the angular one... I'm gonna keep exploring that territory tho...

2 more

A couple more for consideration.

I think these are getting a little redundant, so i'll try to make the next batch a bit different.

Also, before you say it, I know they can't steer and i know there are some ergonomic issues, I'll fix all that stuff at a later phase. these are just to flesh out an aesthetic theme.

Choosing a direction

These are just some sketches from my sketchbook from throughout the year. These are completely random order, just looking to get some input for a direction to head I guess.

A quick sketch mostly focused on proportion.



Girder forks, single sided swing arm. Focus is on the motor.


Rectangular cross section forks, Ram air scoop on top of tank, and exhaust incorporated into swing arm.



A sporty, compact, liquid cooled twin with girder forks




Wheels are overrated.. Star Wars speeder bike inspired.



A sport bike with a chopper stance.



Fairly typical street fighter, with some motocross styling inspiration.

It's fascinating to me how everyone's style is so unique.

3 concepts

here are my first three, more to come.
