Computer Arts Practice: Mock Bike layers

I gathered parts of pictures from different bikes to mock up my concept of my motorbike. It's a very rough concept that I will trace over and make neater lines and proper colours. I know the woman on top of the bike doesn't look very proportionate but its to give a general idea of how to sit on the bike.

I used parts from the "Tron" bike, including the woman. I liked the shape and have heard the style of the bike was created by an artist named Syd Mead from the mid 60s which was heavily used for concept bike for future films.

For the wheels I used the newest robot droid named "BB8" from Star wars. I liked the mechanics of having magnets inside the ball that can be attached to the bike so its basically hovering the bike. It makes turning more easier like a Dyson Hoover (see previous blog). I recoloured it to match with the bike as the original droid was bright orange.

For the window and blue panels I took parts from the BMW K 1600 GT bike as the window has a more slanted style, which i slanted more for an imapct on bike. I enjoy the colour of the blue panels which goes well with the black. I added hidden panels for the hand and feet, so that the feet and hands are tucked away safely. Inside the hand pocket there will be a normal steering handle like any other bike and I decided to add a button underneath the handle for the brake, rather than the large brake that's seen on bikes. I still need to design this handle. I also took the seat from the BMW and slanted it slightly.

Lastly I added a coil that I found on "Shocks and more" site. Its a monroe coil that I coloured blue and duplicated. It will be hidden in a see through case to protect the coil and the riders feet. I believe that this will make turning more easier and swifter. This can stop the large corners that bikes normally make and more safer. Its somewhat similar to the buses seen in London with their 2 decker buses. If the coil doesn't work then I will use the same technique as the London buses.
