I'm working on a PCJ 600 bike for my game

here is what I done for now:

I done it in somthing like 40 minutes :\ and I can't find a good way to shade it

Update:

I moved the flashlight a bit, changed the shading a bit and made a blue metal under the sit.

I made the tires bigger, changed the black color a bit on the tires and fixed a little pixel near the flashlight :P

I made the front part a bit larger and I have no idea how I'm gonna make the other parts bigger as well.

I kinda made it for my game as a privat resource but I'll think about making it a free resource..

I started working on an rtp rider template for this here is what I have done so far:

Shaded the knee, made the arms larger, added another arm.

I like the design very much. Is that for the rtp template? Because it seems a bit small if so.

 

[~R~]

if it's for tyke1 or breeze template, it's great, but for rtp is too small

 

[Swordhunter]

When you mention it, it is small for the RTP :P
Some one can make an rtp template sitting on the bike please?

 

[Swordhunter]

No one can give me more tips?

 

[Samboy]

Tyres are close to black in color, try to keep them that color. Looks OK otherwise. Oh, and the tyres should be slightly larger, in my opinion.

@samboy, I'll start working on the tires right away

 

[Tassadar]

Great work, it's very nice. I was planning to say the tires should be slightly larger, but samboy did that already. I tried to fit an rtp-style character on it, and this is what happened:

It should be slightly larger in order for rtp characters, so maybe you could do that too?

 

[Lei]

NONONO!!! Leave it that size I love it ^_^ it fits so cutely with the character

 

[Showkaizer]

you should definately make it bigger if you wish for it to fit the RTP. It may just barely fit that specific sprite, but not all RTP sprites are the same size. Some are far larger than that one. Otherwise I think it's fine. The palette is a bit desaturated but then again, I'm on a mac right now so I really can't tell...

Thanks for all of you'r comments I really appreciate it
Next, I'll start working on the size of the bike itself

And sorry if I have a bad english :O

Looking great so far, keep it up

 

[Lei]

Lei still says that it looks cute when the bike is small... a large head on a small bike makes it look very chibi. a style im growing to like and looks nice with that... I say keep the size... Make some more colors and can I have permission to use it?

Edit:

I reckon you should also make one leaning towards the screen and away... Then it could be used in a mini game where the player is either in a rush to get from point A to point B which would be a straight line either going left or right. The tilted or leaning versions of the sprite could be used then to move the player up or down changing lanes and dodging the traffic.

If I was able to use it in my game... It'd be used as an "I need you to deliver this stone to the lab before it stops glowing" game. So you must rush to the lab before the invisible timer runs out...
Collisions or time running out could mean restarting.

 

[Samboy]

Nope, tyres still need darkening. Think black, not grey.

 

[Lei]

No, black was too dark.. This looks okay...a slightly darker grey would also be okay...

OOOHH this would do wonders with the breeze template.

The new version looks nice, but the template could use some improvements. His arms are too short (actually, it's only 1 arm). If you would make it 2 pixels longer, it'll look fine. His knee could use some shading too.

That's my try at a template.

Overall, very nice . Definately make this a free resource; many people could use a bike for a modern game.

Pretty Slick, Swordhunter.
I really like the resemblance to the one in GTA.

Idea:
Have an animation with fire coming out the back and smoke coming from the tires. That'd PWN.

 

[Swordhunter]

I glad you all like it so much 'cause its my first reasource I didn't gived up on making it and there are allready 3 updates and a template! Well actually here is an improvment for the template:

umm.. animations are aren't my stronger side :\

 

[Tassadar]

It's really looking good. One question though, will you try to make a front and backview of the bike too?
