2009 December Monthly Modelling Challenge " Futuristic bicycle race"

Create a Scene where a 'Futuristic bicycle race' are the main focus. This could be anywhere you want, on desert landscapes, arctic icebergs, vertical mountain cliffs, orbiting space station wheels, moon surfaces... It can be a classic race, a Mad Max death race type, Star Wars race pod style, Cannon Ball run mayhem, Middle ages jousting tournaments... One or more riders, maybe five riders on a bike... riding, flying, floating, skiing... whatever you want...

On request, since the riders are not the main focus of the theme, participants may use existing pre-made figures for riders that are not their own, if desired...

Here are some ideas for bikes to get you started:

Overview:
The idea, as created by Jack, is to have a challenge that is geared towards the complete 3D development cycle from concept through modeling, surfacing, lighting, rendering, and any post processing (environmental enhancement).

Basic Rules:
1) Use your own work. No pre-made purchased or free models, please. The idea is to share what you can create inside of trueSpace! (Except for the riders of the bicycles!)
2) Start a Work In Progress Thread (WIP) for your submission. There is no limit as to how many separate art work WIPs you desire to create!
3) If so desired, a limit of up to 3 final images can be submitted in order to better view your models or even tell a story....However, your first posted image will be your final entry.
4) Final image submissions should be no larger than 800 x 600 in dimensions. A link to your WIP is also suggested (even though I'm sure that most people are viewing them during your creative process)...A WIP is a fun and entertaining place to be !!!
5) TrueSpace should be the primary tool but other 3D Programs are allowed. Post processing with a Paint Program to enhance lighting or environment presentation is fine. Background images are fine.

Deadline:
This Month's competition will start November 2nd and will continue until December 22 at midnight (whatever midnight is in your time zone).
Voting Poll will end on December 29th at Midnight in your time zone.

The Winner will be announced December 30th.
The Winner’s art work then gets the privilege of being in the MMC Winner's Gallery and also has the honor of picking a topic and hosting next month's MMC
If the Winner from the previous Month receives the most votes in this Challenge the second place winner will become the new Host for next Month.
Most of all "Have Fun"!

Ps. Because it is the holiday season, we can change the timelines if enough requests/agreements are made...

Against all expectations... COUNT ME IN!

here is my WIP thread... vi ... f=5&t=1148"

i think some other guys posted theirs in the comments thread so we have more than just 2 entries so far...

Don't worry I've been playing with design ideas for the MMC.
I'll be joining soon.
