Description
So after all the preliminary work here is the final result. Of course along Rosemary I could not resist putting a few cameo appearances by my characters into background along with myself. In the end I was very happy that the client was so patient with me since I started on the final colors of this picture right when BackBreaker Studios crashed and burned. This unfortunately put me in the worst case of artist funk I had ever experienced. Eventually I was able to overcome it and finish this commission.As usual for me the piece is a mixed media collection of colored pencils, marker, technical pen and gouache on vellum finish Bristol Board. Image size is about 16"x 22". I hope you have found this start-to-finish presentation interesting.

I like the way this came out. Detailed in fur,machinery and clothes. The detail of the little mouse at the motorcycle's wheel is awsome too. Love it e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Ok, for a moment, I thought that you had gotten the front brakes on the Buell done wrong in this image, but after seeing the image with the bike that this drawing is based off of, I realize it is correct for the bike you modeled this after. (From the look of the bike, it is the last generation of the Buell Lightning, but the later Buells, as well as the EBR Racing bikes that came after, had a single perimeter mounted disk, as opposed to two hub mounted ones.)
I am curious now as to where the owner of the bike got the front end from, as in from what bike?
As for the overall drawing, it came out flawless!

The front end is stock Buell, the X-1 was the top of the line in 2000 when I bought it. The front brake rotors are called "Wave" style and are made by a company called "Braking"

Thats an X-1? Thought it was a later model.
I'd like to get myself a Buell. Thinking the 900cc Lightning, with the Thunder bodywork on the front, the cg lowered suspension, and a 4" bore kit.
I should have recognized that as being an earlier model, where there is someone here in Waterville who rides around on one.

Oops! Hit the wrong button! What I meant to say is I don't remember where Dusty got the brake rotors.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Brake rotors were aftermarket, and it has been so long since I worked on piece I cannot clearly remember where

O_O THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I'm getting a HUGE SwatKats and StarFox vibe from this...

Very well done. I mean very well.

Seeing how everything came together really is inspiring, Baron. That really is allot of work.

Fascinating to see it all come together, and it makes sense now, why you charge so much for commissions. I do mean this as a compliment.

That was part of the reason for doing these postings was help people understand what goes into some commissions and why they can cost so much.

This seems strangely familiar.

Do I see Jessica Knight at the barrier?
Was there ever a decision as to what lucky rider got Rosemary to provide their shade?

Warning!
Bike nerd nit-pick
Buells had the belt drive replaced with a standard racing chain and sprocket for easier gearing ratio changes.
The fact that I can tell it still has the belt drive is a testament to your attention to detail and expert renderings.
Good work!

Also this was Dusty's street bike primarily.

Absolutely amazing work. Though I have to wonder how tinies in your world aren't assumed to be suicidal running around a race track's pit area and expecting not to be run over.

Most mice would not do what Brandy is doing in this picture for exactly that reason. However certain headstrong, confident, and thrill-seeking mice and rats will mingle amongst bigums like this.

Okay, so she is nuts. Just checking.

She would disagree but most mice and rats would side with you on this.

Is it me or do I see a very small person the front tire?

How is she that small?

She is 8.625" inches tall.

I imagine Brandy would say, "Big smackdowns come in small packages."
