I'm kinda partial to the old ATC's... Just finished creating an 86 ATC350X icon..

I'll do more as I get a chance. To get them done in good detail, they take quite a while to create.

Yes, I did the 4 currently available It's no conicidence that the first ones created were the 400EX and the ATC250R. I modeled the 400 from a pic of my bike.

Haven't decided what the next one will be... Maybe a Banshee or a Tecate, or heck maybe an LT quadracer...

Gabe,

Although it is currently for sale, could you do one of my quad? Its a Laegers 250R, other people or racers could use it too. I can give you a good pic.

Thanks,
Steve

I've been making them 50x50 max...

What takes so long is getting all the detail that small.

Thanks, mabe I'll attempt to make a couple? Did you start off with a big pic and shrink it? Or is this a "custom fabricated" deal? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I try to start with a really clean pic as a basis. First I do a little clean up work and highlighting, then shrink it. This can only really be used as a template, as usually the detial just doesn't look right. From there I do a bunch of detailing work to make them look right & have the correct accents and features. Then you have to set the transparancy & make sure you don't have any stray pixels.

I also use the original "big pic" as a model, making highlights to match the original.

So far, the 350X & 250R have been the most challenging.

They've been averaging me 1 to 1.5 hours a piece to get them how I want (maybe I'm a tad ****).
