Duke's hoverbike

Here's the final hover bike design that was chosen to be the gameplay asset for Dice Bikes, itunes.apple.com/au/app/dice-b… and released by Steel Blue Zebra on April 1st this year. 

The design process is clearly evident as a shape based activity, whereas coming up with a hover bike which is realistic in terms of colour, texture and lighting involves integrating photos with layers of paint in Photoshop by using layer styles.
