I've been working on a new portfolio piece for the last few weeks.
Since I made the Chevy Impala vintage car last spring I decided to make something in line with that while still totally new and interesting for me:
A high poly version of a Harley WLA 42! A classic motorcycle from WW2 era.
I'm going to make it a truly high poly model with pretty much all the visible details that I see fit.
For example the wheels alone took me something like 6 hours to make. And they're not even perfect duplicates so I had to tweak them individually.

The whole thing is still very much a work in progress.
It has been a lot of fun (but frustrating at times) to search for good reference images. And there's always different variations of the same vehicle type so I have to kinda judge what I think looks best.
Still have to find better angles and close-ups of some of the parts like for example the engine. My version of it is still something that I roughly blocked out at the early stages.
I'm using Maya 2014 Student Version for the project. Maya's modeling tools are kinda pain to use but so far I'm fine with it..

If all goes well there'll be a time-lapse video about the entire process sometime soon.
