Description

I wanted to draw a guy on a motorcycle… wanted… wanted?.. WANTED???!!! *music plays from nowhere* WAAAAAAANNNNTTTTEEEEDDDD!!!!!! DEAD OR ALIVE!!!!!

Wanting to draw a bike made me end up with this song stuck in my head all day yesterday, so I decided to do this after work and promptly remembered that motorcycles are hard to draw. Check one point for the reference folder.
Also, I’m not much of a Bon Jovi fan, but I can’t deny I really enjoy this particular song. It’s a lot of fun to sing mid conversation.

Wow, awesome work, this looks great.
And I read the description, and in the first line I get a Bon Jovi reference? That's pretty awesome too.
Great job!

I don'T know why but I really love it! It looks like a watercolour but I see it's digital, really good job on it. And lovely tones expressing the lights. I also very much like the composition and the angle. ^^

Wowo. It looks like it was done in watercolours. That motorcycle looks great. I like how you stuck to one colour and left out white bits. It looks graphic.

Thank you! I was going for a watercolor look with the whites, so I'm glad it comes across. ^^

I sang this song once at a work karaoke and it shocked the heck out of my coworkers that I even knew the song. I didn't tell them I learned it from an anime music video that I had seen. XD Good stuff!

Lol, well you gotta learn it somewhere I guess. XD I don't remember where I learned it. Sometime when I was really little I suppose.

Aaaaactually, that did cross my mind while drawing this. But then I would have had to have gotten period accurate reference of a bike for him and that was just too much time. XD

Turtle-Arts In reply to InToTheSKY5 [2014-10-16 16:33:48 +0000 UTC]

No, not that first one. That's not his style. XD The second one fits him better. Maybe a touch too streamlined though.
I think if Mouse had a bike that fit his look and timeline, it'd be a Harley WLA- allcarznews.com/data_images/ga… Similar look, but a touch more bulky.
Shhhhhhucks.... you got me researching bikes again. I said I wasn't going to. >:I

Oh your artist comment, it makes me giggle inside. Yes motorcycles are pretty hard. I remember I got the same urge to draw one for a FX animation, I was very happy i only had to draw it once. 

Onto the comment about the actual picture, I love the use of negative space, especially with the way you added your name. Also I thought for sure this was a watercolor or guash painting, until I looked at the category under the title. So nice job on the texture/stle.

Yeah any kind of machinery is not really a favorite thing of mine to do. >_< Too many small parts and angles.

And thank you! ^^ I was going for a sort of watercolor feel with the color and whites.
