I'm going to have to comment on this again because it is just too amazing, I love how well you blended a live background picture with a drawn foreground character

Hm well i know the batbike is definitely black. Bruce did ride a motorbike that was like a "civilian" bike in the daytime sometime in the later part of the movie didnt he? *cant remember*

Izm's bike is the holy grail of Bike thieves; a truly worthy prize for the competent, but nonetheless unreachable.
What really gets me with this is the fact you used shading to emphasize the shape of the bike, and not lineart.
there isn't a church of Darqx is there? If there is, please tell me it's location so i may worship.

Hey man. Nice concept. Like the use of an original image for the background and you've blurred it too suggesting speed. Seen as though everyone's given' you plenty of praise, I might aswell give some crit'. lol. The only thing I'de suggest is to take colours from the original image and use them on the bike itself, will help the image as a whole fit together.
Good work mate

Thanx! And also thanx for the crit, i will have to keep that in mind for future pics
Just a question though - did you mean use the colours from the bg and sort of reflect them off the bike? Or actually colour the bike with a colour similar to the bg?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah right. Well I meant perhaps you could reflect the lights from the background onto the bike and remember light bounces so there should be light even underneath the bike. For best lighting effects I'de reccommend corel painter (light FX brush), but the initial drawing is always best done in photoshop. Hope this helps and doesn't confuse. I'm tired. lol
Peace.

God, I have an unignorable urge to watch Akira now...
Great job. Bike is win.

Lol. Apparently you're safe in Hawaii as long as you're wearing sunglasses/goggles. XD
UC Davis doesn't really bother caring about helmet laws, since you don't have to wear one in California so long as you're over 18, and since you're in college, they assume you are even though I wasn't most of this last year. XD They're totally gung-ho on speed limits, though, and will bag your ass for the smallest things, like having one tail light out in the middle of the day when you had no idea about it happening in the last 5 minutes since you last checked it. (That happened to my BF. Total bummer. >XP)

There is no law for helmets in Illinois. (Just in case you wanted to know)
But unfortunately there is for speed.
I totally love the bike! I would so ride it. The picture overall is absolutely amazing.

Wouldn't that mean a lot of people would break their heads?
And thanx!

great job Darqx ^__^ That must have been a different angle to draw. I love his hair for some reason I think it turned out very well. That is the kind of bike I have been dreaming of getting for a long time. Is he even old enough to have a motor bike? xD

Thanx Hellz
Hmm, i'm not sure. Izm's 16...how old do you usually have to be? (not that he'd really care for those rules, of course XDD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Welcome ^___^ Yeah references make everything easier [sometimes].
Well i know you get your learners at 16 and than get your actual drivers license at about 17-18 and a motor cycle license is a separate license all together and that takes another 3 years and that's only if you have your drivers xDDD Well in Canada at least.

It's Izm on his motorcycle! I love the detail on the motorcycle and his pose is cool. Also I like the speed lines in the back.

Love the pic, awesome job on the perspective, and the bike looks perfect

Bikes are one of the evilist things to draw!
Well at least hes wearing heavy leather so he might not die and the police truncheons won't hurt as much.

ZOOOOOOM. I'd hate to be on the same road as him XD He looks awesome, though, as does his 'baby'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He obviously has a death wish. But I'm not going to complain!

Yeah its more entertaining for the rest of us lol

I like how he drives. Yup-yup-yup 
I so want his bike! AAH! Maybe fancy it in a purple... Looking at it, it all looks so fluid. Like the background was drawn by you, not actually a picture. It makes it fit so much more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like a maniac?
Lol yeah i try and make the bg blend in more with the rest of the pic, that way it just doesnt look like a photo slapped on in the back (which is...essentially what it is XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMG I am overwhelmed by the sexy of this picture O__o
I love the bike, the pose is excellent...and I want to say that the bike is my favorite part, but I especially adore the detail in his hair. Ahhh. Darqx, you never fail to amaze me
