I can't find a bicycle sprite sheet for adult-size characters, so I thought I'd make one. But I'm not sure where to start when it comes to drawing the bicycle at the right angle (top down-ish), the shading, and coloring. Any suggestions?

What I'd recommend doing is finding a good reference for a bicycle at different angles (I've attached one below for a start), then using some of the existing vehicle sprites as a reference for recreating the top-down angle and shading style.

To come up with a color palette, oftentimes I'll create a character with the colors I'd like on my sprite using the generator, then use that as a reference while I'm making the sprite.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
