Chopper Day 1

With my passion for Harley Davidson motorbikes, I have always had an interest in designing custom chopper motorbikes. The way in which chopper builders alter petrol tank shapes and bike frames seriously get me interested in forming my own chopper design.

Today involved a load of research of information and studying of chopper motorbikes built and in the stages of being built.

Some chopper designs I  am using as inspiration for my own concept.

This has all come together to start the building of my chopper concept on 3DSMax. Today I completed the frame of the bike and will start and hopefully finish the engine as soon as possible.

Goals

From tomorrow, I am starting to work on a number of projects ranging from game designs, 3D modelling and video game reviewing. I will be posting updates as often as possible.

Goals:

1. Researching, designing and finally modelling a custom chopper motorbike.

2. Practicing all my drawing skills. I feel as if I neglected and lost a highly desired skill and I look to working to get it back.

3. Make a start on writing video game reviews, using my video game bucket list as my checklist for what to review.
