Color coding

This post is about you guessed it: color. The actual texture detail isn't even close to being final (a few are close though, actually). Rather, it's just a "color pass" to get an idea for how the overall color scheme will feel.

I always envisioned the painted parts being blue, with some sort of accent throughout. I ended up using yellow and white for this. Seems like they go together well. Everything is fairly neutral, with splashes of warm and cool colors here and there. I really tried to add in some subtle coloration all throughout. If you look real closely, you can spot hints of blue and green in some of the chrome, for instance. It's all about finding that perfect balance. I think I've achieved it here more than I have in the past.

And last but not least, I've finally come up with an official name for the project. Henceforth, the bike will be forever known as "The Blue Bomber". Guess what the title references, and I'll give you a dollar. No joke.

I'll post progress pics of the texturing as they come.
