'Flatten' the colour of the areas you want to change first. That way when you add the contrast of colour vs shadow it won't look so 'shiny'. You can multiply a layer of flat colour over the areas as well. Black is a hard colour to start from I reckon.

cheers for that..will have another play

[skelstar]

Yeah I have you in miind to do the job if I decide to Crazef. I know what colour, just wanted to know what the bike would look like.

For those interested I was thinking Orange. Repsol orange with the odd red/black/white stripe like accent somewhere. Not looking to do a Repsol Hornet or anything, just like the colours together. Want to emulate the black wings over the tank as well.

[Skunk]

Mmmm, can't think Repsol... Anyway it's rough as guts, real crap. Hues aren't right etc.

EDIT new image

'The Man with the Golden Hornet'?
Nice

[skelstar]

That looks good Skunk. Id have the stripes further down (like on blade), and the orange MORE orangy (darker?), but thats more of a problem with the black original.

Cheers for the effort though.

[Skunk]

Picky, picky...

[skelstar]

Im stuffing around with this image now. Headies are wrong, but changing colour is much easier.

[Skunk]

Cool. Post the result eh.

[skelstar]

Preliminary image. Stripes not quite right though.

[Skunk]

What are you doing?
Working?
No?
Then get it on with it it. I can't wait forever you know...


p/t

[skelstar]

Lunch.

[James Deuce]

Lol. Pearl Magma Red.

[skelstar]

Nope. Been careful to avoid that colour...set Corel to completely ignore that colour

[Skunk]

You know you won't see the black stripes while you're on the bike where you have them eh?

[skelstar]

Sure. I cant see alot of things on the bike that I should have .
