Description
This took me several weeks to finish, especially the bike and the guitar. I plan to show it to the owners of the Harley Davidson Store in Gastonia in a week or two, and hopefully they will let me display it there. I had to crop this a little bit, the painting is actually a bit wider.This is my first attempt at painting a motorcycle, and though it was laborious, it felt like quite an accomplishment when I finally got it done. Feel free to comment, whether it's quick or an in-depth critique

Very impressive. I have always found it hard drawing an actual person riding the bike. I display my drawings in my local harley shops also. I like your painting a lot. Good job

Thank you. It was a long process getting everything right, or at least convincing. That's awesome that you have yours on display.

That's just incredible. I like how the bike is so sharp and detailed and the background is more floaty. The chromed parts of the bike looks really realistic too. Niice!!!

Thanks, glad you like it. I kind of tried to get a heat haze effect in the background.

This would awesome on my wall. Or any other wall. The motorcycle looks like a speed demon yet is very elegant, overall detail is stunning and colors flow beautifully. Sorry for so much flattery, but it's well deserved, and you know that.
Reminds me - i have a ticket for Judas Priest in 2 weeks - still can't believe and probably won't until Halford cuts me to 10000 pieces with his voice!!

Judas Priest? I am extremely jealous right now. I hope to hear Painkiller live at some point in my life.
Thanks for the comment and fav; I spent a while on the patterns and rivets, wanted something unique and eye-catching.

Ok, the Priest was awesome, i didn't even know that Black Sabbath and Motorhead were playing there as well.. but it was Priest that stole the evening (and my ability to speak for several days due to throat malfunction..

Awesome. That show had to be especially kick ass. I would probably be exhausted for the next four or five days after that.
