For many years there was the hobby.
The image seen here are of my pictures of Warhammer 40K Eldar Jetbikes from the table top warfare game by Games Workshop.

Next came the oprotunity to make a hoverbike with the There Hoverbike Builder Template.

The choice was obvious.

I started with a clone of the bike without any guns, keeping within the limit of 871 polygons.

I knew that I could not and did not want to submit a clone so the next steps began

First was to modify the bike in a way that was artistly unique while keeping a fond rememberence of the original

Now it was time to ready the bike for a There avatar. Also a few steps were taken to meet the 3x3x3 meter size limits of the time.

Next came putting a map on the bike.

The last step was to overcome limits of the There Game engine's lack of smoothing support. Check on my tutorials for ways to overcome this

Now the creation was complete. To start I submitted two variations.

A short time after, I opened the Yoshibike Painter Club

Extreamly high resolution picture.
