Goblin suicide Bike

splitpiriform

Hey guys, I've been working on this for about a week and would like feedback, I'll post progress.

The whole point is to make an over the top, goblin suicide jetpack/hoverboard/whatever. Will eventually Model /rig/tex the goblin once i'm happy with this

Really interesting design! Is that your concept art or are you going off of someone elses? Looks like you've got a good start on this project I love the silhouette you're getting already.

the original idea is mine, the sketches you see right there are from a friend of mine, he's currently in the process of designing a Goblin Tinker that's going to sit  right next to this machine in his garage.

sorry about the slow reply

Looks great! Really clean and professional work. One thing though... Isn't this a hoverBIKE rather than a hoverboard?

A complete three-quarter view of the "bike" would be nice (front-top view).
I'm missing a little more "madness" to make it ultimate "Goblin", beside of this awesome work.

It would be cool if the bike wasn't a complete mirror of one half to the other. You could start with the mirror as a base and then deform parts from there. Perhaps some parts are missing or broken? You could then use the textures to emphasise these areas which would in turn make it look more like a used bike opposed to a typical used (but mostly clean) bike perhaps get some extra dirt and exhaust fume discolouring on it too.

Thanks, I forgot to edit the thread title in the process

I'm aware and agree that the design isn't perfect, but I will not be reworking on this for a while as this is my strongest piece to date (kind of hungry for more). However, I'll be working on a goblin engineer that's been building the vehicle. He won't be standing on it, I want to emphasize on the fact that he's just a relaxed, don't give a fuck kind of goblin (as well as an engineer, so he's making, not riding).

Design by a friend of mine, Gregorie Vincent
