Hey, not bad at all. Thought I'd give a bit of criticism since not many people here are...
The wheels are not isometric, look around, maybe google "isometric circles" or "isometric wheels" for a bit of help, at the moment the shape is strange, and not even circular. The wheel at the front is too close to the rest of the bike, and the red part above and around part of the wheel is too close to the wheel, it looks as if its stuck on, which on a real bike it is not. The wheels are undetailed, as if they have no tread, which they should have.
The handlebars should face outwards, not straight towards the person. They should be perpendicular to whoever is riding the bike. The lights at the front are not properly isometric either, and some overlap, suggesting they are actually further forward than the others, which they shouldnt be.
The metallic parts of the bikes look like plastic, whereas they should have alot more shine. I'd suggest looking into how to create shine on metallic objects. I have a tutorial to help you with that - http://www.tcp-ip.or.jp/%7Es-iga/tips/2-3metallic_objects.html
As for the habbo, he is mostly pillow shaded (lightest colour furthest inside, getting darker as it goes further out). This is a no-no in pixel art. Pick a light source, and use it.
I'm sure you appreciate my criticism. I could say a little more but I have to go right now. This is a good start =)

I noticed a couple of those things like the wheels but Xero is spot on. I strongly suggest carefully examining his CC.

[Disaronno]

He is missing an arm?

[Tiuhdur]

wow thats amazing 10/10

[Acidulantes]

To make it look like a real chopper tilt the forks going down to the front wheel and move it out a bit, and extend the handlebars... awesome so far... do that and its elites from me :) and give it a chopper paint job :)

[Crimson]

Its nice, certainly not the standard of elites comparing those that are in the section already. 9/10, the wheel is abit strange but the rest is all gravy. :D

[ItsDave]

Its good, the wheels should have some work, but then definatley elites. 9/10

[chubbzilla]

great, great I really like it well done 10/10 +rep and bit off topic but im back so hi everyone

[BainzeyHosting]

Its Called A Sidecar... the thing on the site of bikes.

Alos.. very nice idea :D well executed!

[Acidulantes]

without what I said it basically looks like an old honda they used in the war...

Thats world war 2 btw...

[scubadiva]

Another brilliant alt from Reinout--D. I was wondering when your next one would come out. Have you thought of becoming a Habbo Pixel Artist? Anywayz, on topic, loving the alt, especially the biker dude with the beard. Sunglasses would look cool. Not so keen on the 'double' bike, but I hate those in real life, so it's not your fault ;). 9/10 +rep if I can, I think I've repped you recently.

[Thelilaznboy]

hmm... i like it 10/10

[Nielez]

I could just repeat everything Xero said, as I noticed most of that too... but I'm not going to.
Also, wheres arm #2?
Xero, you gave great CC but u didn't see that one simple thing :P

Example of what Acidulantes means with "tilt the forks going down to the front wheel and move it out a bit, and extend the handlebars":

Still, a good alt

Ahh, but I did =) Zoom in on it, you can actually see 1 pixel of his other arm, suggesting it is just flat at his side, or maybe back, grabbing something from his back pocket.

Bah, ah well, riding a chopper with 1 arm is dangerous I hope he'll get an accident

or he is standing still

anyway nice word reinout wished i could maken things like that but i dont have the patient for it

[Reinout--D]

Thank you everybody for the critisysm ant the nice replies.

I'll work better on the weelsnext time.
But the stear supposed to be so.
My example was a model bike I bought a couple of months ago.
Ant by that bike the stear is this way, its a little classical.
I Think they had this during the war period.


Greetings!

[Xero]

Does that mean your not going to adress any of my criticism? I spose your choice, but you won't improve unless you edit your work in conjunction with well given criticism.

[Acidulantes]

Sounds like it... Ive been working on the bike... but Ill need reinouts permission to post it...

[e5]

ELITES ELITES ELITES

9/10 NOTHING PERFECT

[Lucky]

Its nice.

cc;


make the wheels isometric.
8/10.

[beer]

WOW! 10/10 +REP I like how u took the engine and stuff out :p

[Nielez]

For people who give advice, it's cool to see someone improving their work following hints and advice they give...

Follow our hints/advice and you'll get better...

[Xero]

Also to the people who actually rate these (which in my opinion, is pointless), it would be nice to also post what you think is wrong with it. If you give it an 8/10, you obviously don't think it's perfect, so what's wrong?

[Reinout--D]

Uhm, I'm going to use the tips and stuff with my following alterations, it helpt me alot.

It's not like I don't care or something.

I'm just kinda finnisched with this bike, :P

And sure you can post your improvements.
:P

[Acidulantes]

Should I make a new thread or post it in here?

[Thrust]

I think its superb. 9.99 ×Rep! And Xero, we can't all be experts, and know alot about alts, to tell him improvements.

[Albion]

thats amazing . . .

[Xero]

It does't have to be complicated, it can be as simple as "the ditherings too simple" or "I don't like the colours" or "it could use a bit of hue shift"

[deagle]

At first, I suspected you of stealing another's work, cause first glance was crazy amazing, then i looked at other posts on criticism and yea, they're all right. But damm, that is really really good. Slap on the back for you +rep

[Acidulantes]

"it could use a bit of hue shift"

I dont know many people that use anything more than paint...

[Nielez]

I dont know many people that use anything more than paint...

Some people do, as a finishing touch, it's smart to use photoshop/painshop to change hue, saturation or brightness to maximize the viewers satisfaction.

[Acidulantes]

I only use it if I need to have a glass effect...

[Xero]

You can shift hue WITH paint, manually, it's not difficult. A hue shift is just a shift from one colour to another. E.g. The highlight is yellow, midtone orange, and shadow brown, rather than just darker shades of yellow for the midtone and shadow. Also, most more professional artists that I know don't use paint, they prefer programs like Pro Motion, and Deluxe Paint, as it allows for easier palette organisation among other things.


Some people do, as a finishing touch, it's smart to use photoshop/painshop to change hue, saturation or brightness to maximize the viewers satisfaction.

Saturation and brightness can also be changed manually using paint, and it is a very good idea to unify your palette using edits on brightness, saturation and hue.


I only use it if I need to have a glass effect...

Once again, a glass effect can be created with MSPaint, using photoshop for it is not pixel art ;)
