I couldn't wait to begin a new motorcycle painting. That huge cycle show we attended in Toronto this winter was so inspiring! The difficulty for me was choosing which bike to do. I have so many photos of the Toronto Maple Leafs bike, with it's phenomenal airbrush artwork all over....that I almost went with that one. However, I just couldn't stop thinking about the bike I chose to do. I have barely begun to lay down some color, as you can see in the photo on the right. The detailed drawing took quite a long time......with mechanical objects rendered in a realistic work of art you have to make sure to get an accurate representation down. This bike was a custom cycle done for the Blade movie, I believe. The words Blade were airbrushed in various places on the bike. I won't place the wording in the painting, though, as I want the artwork to appeal to anyone without it being tied to the film.
I really liked the coloring used throughout here......silver mixed in with golds and some fiery reds along with the black colors on the motorcycle. I love the custom styling on the bike....the handlebars that resemble weapons, for example! This will be fun to do. And as I am beginning the piece....I'm realizing how hard it's going to be! And I thought the previous custom cycle painting I did was tough! Can I finish it before the snow flies?? I wonder!!
