Hey everyone! For a college course we were assigned to concept and model a vehicle. I decided to merge the bike from akira with a speeder bike from Star Wars


Sorry about the rough concept.

I started up on the block in and this is as far as I have




Any critique is welcome.

    It might just be the perspective, but it seems kinda squashed, the Akira bike is a long sleek bike, I think just extending out the rear and adding some cowling over the top of the engine (Like some kind of mud guard, haha) would get it looking more in line.

    Loving the attention to detail though, some very nice modeling!

    I'm surprised you haven't got one of the hover craft from Akira on your mood board. They're not the most attractive of vehicles, but they might still be a useful design reference.

    Thanks for pointing that out! I looked it over and i think the reason its looking a little short is because i took off the wheels which normally extrude quite a bit from the "base" of the bike. I've tried to extrude the back piece but some of the smaller pieces are starting to intersect with eachother. If I have the time I'll try and work on it more.

    I completely forgot about those! thanks for the reference!


    I've moved onto the highpoly. Here's what I have updated:








    For this assignment we're supposed to set up a small environment surrounding the vehicle. I'm doing an alleyway and basing it off of one of the scenes in Akira
