Description
This is the another bike art i must do after my [link] this time going for mountain bike XC, and i felt blue and yellow is more suitable for me, please! enough of pink! and also it's time to update my old custom bike i did in 2002 [link]This time i'm using a dual suspension GT I-Drive bike instead of the my usual GT Zaskar hard-tail bike, i also switch to the new XTR groupset with disk brakes and wheel set. No! my own personal bike is more humble compare to this one.
Work are still in progress, i'm experimenting painting wet fur effect(still need a lot of re-do) i'll add on the background soon but for the moment please enjoy the details of the bike because later i'll thrash it with mud and dirt, mountain bikes are design to be dirty.
Things are slowly getting better now after [link] i'm basically cheering myself up with the bike art. I really love how the water bottle and the sun glasses painting turn out.

O__o Really, everything looks so realistik. The only thing is that the furr don't really match the reality in the bike, helmet and clouthes. The fur on the legs lokks like it's laying in layers in a strange way. There into the knee. Little too much of it. Otherways the picture is amazing realistik. O_o I don't get how you draw it. Just keep it up.

Damn.. you'd rock so hard if you didn't draw furries.. Not my style, but your technique is superior.

That's looking really awesome so far. Maybe, to make the wet fur look more wet, you should darken it a little darker than the rest of the fur.

...And to realize this is a "in progress" work still, makes me wonder how awesome it will be once finished.... 
Whenever I try to add the "real" logos on clothes, or items, since I use PaintShop Pro, I can only rotate or screw the images I download from google, and that's not enough to fix them for a drawing... for example, I can't curve the text for a wheel, neither make it look like on a cilynder.... ^^ I need to learn how to do it or to find a simple tool to do it. I guess it's not hard with a program like Photoshop, but I bet there are other ways to do it ^^
*always finds something useful, or a challenge, in AlphaLeo's drawings*

well, in photoshop there is a tool called 'distort' and in side it there is a another tool called 'shear' it can be used to create cylinder for picture, another tool i used is the type tool 'wraped text' function, with it u can distort your own text. I only learn how to do this when i was working on my T-mobile bike, i learn the function in the book-store on photoshop tutorial book, no, i did not have any photoshop tutorial book personally, if i need any help i go to the book store.

I guess there are a similar tool somewhere in PaintShop Pro, but I have never found it.... 
Hahaha, and I do that "take a look at tutorial at the bookshop" thing, if not I would spend all my money with them! XD

It looks really amazing so far
I've been wondering though, how do you fit those logos into the clothing? Do you distort them, or cut 'em into pieces?

Your work is most admirable! Exeedingly well done! The realism is most astounding, The anatomy and pose are most intreaguing and the brand names add a very pleasant touch!

Detail like this makes it a masterpiece in the making. And yes you're right, drawing the wet fur effect is very tideous, but it makes it all the more enjoyable. Yellow and Blue are easier to look at especially with the intensity of the color, cuz that pink......*shakes head* I had to put on some sunglasses to look at

Dear..GOD id swear this was a photograph with th eamount of detail you've got in this ._.
Bravo Leo, Bravo

I hate to be a kiss up, but I gotta say I never seen anyone draw bicycles as good as you are and the smooth shade of the bike is such a great contrast to your fursona's fluffy ruffy fur. Which is very pleasing to the eyes and super duper awesome. Just wondering, is there such a type of bike wheel so smooth that the tread(?) is nearly invisible?
Anyway, in my opinion the 3 artist who draw the best "realistic anthros" I know of are Goldenwolf [link] Heather Bruton and Alphaleo of course.

It's like, every picture you do, you get more astounding and more astounding!!!!
Ths bike is just amazing, and the fur!!! Oh man, that fur looks WILD! I'd say, you are really one of the top-notch artists I know!
I can't wait to see this one done!

Alphaleo may tend to draw more realistic things than many furry artists typically undertake, but this is not a bad thing--because he does these realistic things so incredibly well. Whether it's on a bike or at the helm of an APU, Raymond convinces us that we're looking at a reality contained within a drawing--a sign of an exquisitely-skilled artist.
Yet even so, his more "toony" works exude that sort of reality-with-a-spin that makes them hit closer to home than most. This shows his versatility, as being able to perform in both realistic and animated styles is quite an asset.
Good job, Leo, as always. I look forward to seeing more of your art in the future.

Aw, I rather liked the pink! Hehe.
This is just incredible! Your bikes are astounding. I can't even draw a basic shape of a bike. I put all the bars and stuff in the wrong place.

There's only one thing really missing. You have fantastic textres on the fur and the metal and everything... but you don't have any tire treads. And I know it'd take absolutely forever to do the wheels, but it'd really make the picture if you did that detail... because then it would complete the icing on the cake, you know?
I love this. You're just so fantastic at drawing alphaleo and bikes. Thsi s just as impressive as your last piece, and every piece before. You're quite talented.
