Description
Entry # 2 ^^ Second and Last entry for Roxo's contest~PLEASE DOWNLOAD FOR A BETTER VIEW ^3^.
I personally like this one much more than the first xD Plus My style has improved since then xD
Anyways, I wanted to try something I think no one else has - Draw Neo riding his epicly awesome motercycle~
Now, this was a biiit difficult on acount of two reasons -
1. Roxo only drew a rough sketch of it's design
2. No colors were added, so I had to create my own color scheme xD
I do love the design Roxo! ^3^
Now, I drew that bike SOO many times. Plus I redrew the hands SOO many times. You should see the sketch xD But I do like how his expression finally came out. It was a toothy grin sorta in my mind, I tried it a few times, but finally ended up with a serious line.
I kinda wanna draw Kyle now, but it's a Neo contest XD Plus I don't really have enough time to enter again.
I really hope the bike's design and colors look ok ^^ I worked really hard on dem'. Also, I kinda went crazy with the spark affects, most likely to the point where they no longer look realistic.
I do like the fire-jets at the back of the bike though 
You may not be able to notice, but I saved this pic with the pen tool and spared it my horribly shaky lines
Not sure what else to say about this pic, except that I'm really happy with the result ^^
Though I was hoping to make a moar...shall I say, epic background than this, but this is ok ^^
I hope you like it Roxo!~~
ENJOY!~

Woah, Chi, that's amazing!
This is definitely something that no one has tried yet! ;D VERY cool idea! I absolutely LOVE how everything looks! ^^
The line art looks very smooth, and so does the shading! The expression looks awesome, and so does the pose ^^ You did a fantastic job on the bike 8D I'm jealous, I can't draw bikes X3 I love the spark effect and the fire! The highlights on the glasses look great too! X3
Seriously, I love pretty much everything about this pic! XD Great job!
Good luck in the contest, Chi! 8D

I used the pen tool to save this from shaky lineart xDDD
I asked my Grandfather about the wheel's position on the front of the bike ^^ (He owns a motercycle too 
I'm extremely happy that everyone loves eet ^-^

I'll have to make one soon then! 8D I used tutorials myself to learn, and honestly it's not too hard once you get used to it ^^ It's pretty much second nature to me now. 83

Yay! 8D
Aww, I'm jealous XD Hopefully the tutorial will help though X3 I tried using it for my most recent deviation. I could do some lines, but the rest I did without the pen tool XD

So...does this mean when you paint (so awesomely) you use lines first? 8D

Sweet.
Motor bikes are cool, even if they do have highest mortaly rate of all the common modes of transport, with 109 death for every billion km traveled. I got that from wikipedia.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LINEART BUT OMG
I love this way more than the first (no offense |D ). The hands are amazing, the bike is great, the shading is epic, his expression is perfect, I love the sparks and fire, and the reflections on the glasses is awesome.
MUST FAVE.~

No offense is taken at all xD I think this is extremely better than my first entry to be honest xDD I'm really glad everything turned out ok Gaz!~
Thanks for the fave too! ^3^

Holy cow! This is amazing, Chi! Definately better then the first! 8D
First of all, I really like the lineart. It's really smoothe and small. Did you use the pen tool on it? Also, I like how you didn't make the entire lineart the same color; really nice touch.
I'm really jealous of your shading skillz. *ish jealous*
I really love the eyes~! They look different somehow... ^^
I must fave this! 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
8D I agree, much better than my first entry xDD
I used the pen tool at size 3, like I do for the SSS comics ^^ Actually, I think the only line colors changed were the goggles and rims of the eyes xDD
Glad you like them! I first cell shaded the main colors (Besides the blacks, because I just couldn't. I couldn't think of a better way to shade it xD) Then I went back and took several colors for the muzzle and ear and did a blending technique I use with photoshop, and then burned his fur a little bit to make the markings really dynamic xD
I'm very pleased with the jets at the back, though not as much with the sparks.....:'(
Horsez changed the lineart color for me (When she said she wanted to play with the eye shading a bit, but then my tablet messed up and something happened with photoshop and lost all her work D'x) and I Used a lot of mixes of the burn tool and dodge to make the eye shine, and of course some white highlights with a light green glow ^-^
I'm glad you like it Abby!~ ^-^
