Color pre-vis for tank repaint and frame (photoshop)

[hunduc]

This one gets my vote. The logo is different enough to be odd...but also oddly interesting...I like it. 

same here. if you removed the side panels to show the full frame, you would be even closer to the radical ducati look.

Agreed.  That red frame freakin pops.  Covering it up just kind of interrupts the whole visual sequence.  Even with the black frame though, those plastics just muddy the whole thing up a bit.

Good looking bike all round. Clean tidy and looks like a bike should.... to be flogged and enjoyed. Liking the red is no surprise....I am a girl and I just got my nails done.....guess what color?
Pink.

Hey guys.  Yes...I'm still on this.  Funds are tight, and I'm spending what could have fixed the tank on a superbike front end conversion, clip-ons and all.  In the meantime, I did up some more paint scheme pre-vis last night. 

Inspiration comes from again, Radical Ducati, the Paul Smart Ducatis, and an awesome 1098 race bike:







And here are the ideas.  These stemmed from a want to have white, red, black and gold all in one color scheme. 

I actually really like how blacking out the front of the tank brings weight to the front of the motorcycle.  The problem with that was integrating the gold stripes, gas tank cap, and black chunk.  It's not very elegant.

Where I landed in the bigger picture is a bit brighter than I was hoping for, but it has a nice forward thrust with the long black stripe.

D3 way nicer witht he brown seat

[uglyducky]

ya, brown seat and the white tank.  red frame would look sweeeeet! but that's a timely/spendy project.  either way, i can't wait to see what you do.  i like all th ideas so far!

Hey guys, the old ideas are just that...old ideas.  Thinking I'm landing in a better place with the more recent stuff.

First choice - The one in the middle. 
Second -The one on the bottom right or top left.

Hey thanks man. I'm a concept artist for videogames.  Been doing it for a little over six years now.

I'm not sold on the brown seat with a white tank.  I'm digging the middle one for now (black stripe down middle of tank, flanked by gold vertical bars).  If I could figure out an elegant solution to blacking out the front half of the tank, I'd go for that.

Hey man, you just let me know!  It needs a big time dent repair, and you're definitely getting the work.  When this will be is still way up in the air.

Did some more quick ones tonight taking into account ducpainter's mention of expense

I think you're definitly getting a more unique look. Red, black, and white look good together. 

I saw this on the Monster Challenge list of bikes and thought of your design:

Ah, right on!  I like how he placed the vertical line between both tank cuts and stopped it short of the gas cap like the old Paul Smarts.

As of now, my wife and I have decided on 7.  It's fairly straight forward, but the font and color choices should make it pop.  Just need to finish up my SBK forks and save some coin for the tank.  Easier said than done

Those are from Ducati Art skins. not sure the name, but they aren't custom.
