Description BUY ON SOCIETY6

It's been ages since I've dona a biker angel/demon theme well, here it is, another one with horribly unrealistic wings, on a Harley-Davidson's bike. What can I say? I need to find a new way to draw wings.

Done on a3 paper with isographs. Available on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/121501716…

Very cool image. You've really nailed her pose - she looks very natural. And kick-ass. Naturally kick-ass.

I know what you mean about the wings. I think the problem is that they look quite stiff and flat. Maybe if you find a good reference image of some wings in slightly "looser" pose it'll help (if that made any sense at all). The detail on them is gorgeous.

But they don't stop the image having oodles of impact.

thank you!
I did use a reference photo for the girl's pose, i admit Yeah, the wings, being made up and all, are not awesome. You are right, they are stiff and flat. Next time I'll take better care to use some reference for the wings too - although, as i got upset with myself for drawing the feathers mechanically, i won't be doing wings for a while, that is until i un-learn this particular way of drawing them.

I am talking too much and irrelevant.
Things I do to not get back to work these days... although i love my work, i am leaving a dream life, and all i need is only money to at least pay the bills

sorry

You never talk too much.


Leave wings alone for a while and come back to them when you're ready. You create beautiful art and it's great to hear that you're loving what you do.

Mind bending

I embrace fine craftsmanship but when it is combined with fine storytelling I rejoice (insert sound of dancing
Bear here)


very richly expressive of moods beyond what English can describe


In my minds eye I hear The Doors playing β€œRiders on the Storm”

sound of dancing Bear... did you know that Slavs were more afraid of the bear then of the wolf? So much in fact, that they wouldn't call the bear by a proper name, but "the one that knows where the honey is"
And now we have no bears. Not one survived. We get visiting bears from Slovakia. Maybe someday one will decide to stay.

Thank you very much for a lovely comment!

Not everything needs to be realistic! Especially if you're going for an angel/demon thing, since they're already up for interpretation. You can afford to say "Maybe THIS is how angel/demon wings look!" I know, I know, if you WANT realism then it's going to be important to you to have it. I'm just saying you COULD look at it the other way if you wanted to.

yeah, but here they look wierd, like they are copy-pasted into the picture, and that annoys me. And I think they are too detailed.
Either way, it's a bit of a joke, you know, motorcycle + wings - hey lady, choose one!
Somehow I think it's not over, and I'll have to draw more people on bikes with wings. I can't help it, it's in my head
