Well now to you. It's not a very good skin, but it's your first skin, so who cares. From now on you can just get better, and that should be your target.
It looks like the logos that are on the bike still have the white background, you should make it transparent. (If you don't know how to, search it on youtube) And the design is obviously pretty simple, just black is pretty boring. You should work with the pen tool and just try to make some lines, squares or whatever so that it's not just black. If you don't know how it should look, just try to look at some other skins and real life bikes. I hope this helped you and I'm looking forward to your next skin, keep it up!
I didn't have any photoshop skills, know how to model, know what a forum was about, but I didn't let that be an excuse.
To anyone who wants to get into to skinning, my advice is don't let the "its my first skin" be an excuse. You want your work to be just as good as everyone elses? You work your ass off to make it look just like theres if not better. Want to know what my first real gear/skin was? One Industries Reactor, now granted now its deffinately up to par, but I didn't let the "Its my first set of gear" be an excuse, I worked for about 2 months on that gear to get it to how I wanted. Want to know what my first track was? Hybrid Pro AM, still not the best compared to some tracks, but I still didn't let the "its my first track" excuse happen. I worked my ass off to make that track what it was. In the process I learned a lot of things and some cool tricks. Don't make excuses saying "its my first skin" just because you didn't want to put time and effort into something and you know that is the best so you just say "its my first skin". If you want something you have to put effort and time into it, how are you supposed to know how good it could be if you don't actually try?
