Artist's Comments

I'm currently penciling page 12 of my comic - enter the Bad Guys on motorcycles. The problem is: I've never in my life drawn a motorcycle, and on top of that, I need to add a bit of my own design, 'cause the comic takes place a bit in to the future. So this is my first attempt at drawing a motorbike. I looked at pictures of a Honda DN-01, a Yamaha FJR 1300 and a Kawasaki 1400 GTR. I borrowed a lot from The Honda and also quite a bit from the Yamaha, and then I simplified a couple of things, took some creative liberties and added a couple of my own things, and voila, there you go: one ugly motorbike... it kinda sucks, but I'm sure I'll get better with practise.

It's not ugly
I really liked the design and how it could have more then one person on the bike

Jim Raynor believed in himself and believed in those around him. And from that strength came the strength that allowed him and those who followed him to survive everything else the universe threw at him. Jim Raynor was a most decent and honorable man.

Aw, thanks :-) - I do think the look is okay, but since I don't know anything about motorcycles I forgot stuff like those things you put your feet on and the front wheel brakes - that's why I'm not too satisfied with it. Anyways... who needs brakes for that thing, you'd wanna go fast, right ;-)

And it has to carry more than one person, 'cause one of the Bad Guys likes to bring his girlfriend. (His brother likes to bring girls that are NOT his girlfriends, but that's an entirely different matter). And the third brother is kinda fat, so I guess he needs a lot of space as well ;-)

I guess the extra seat makes sense now even more so then what I thought up

and since it's a futuristic bike the brakes are probably automatic or something... either that or the helmet is linked with the bike so you can brake by thinking..

:-) Good idea! That's the advantage af writng sci-fi stories - you can excuse just about anything you end up drawing ;-)

I have a cut out from a page in my gallery where a cop turns his gun sideways in a gunfight (cause I thought it looked cool), and a guy on Facebook complained, that he wouldn't do that in real life, because it's much more difficult to get accurate aim. Since most of the people in my comic have genetic enhancements, I told the guy that the cop has VERY speciel bullet-curbing-skills and always hits his target... see? problem solved ;-)

sci fi is fun cause you can do anything...


A cop curving a bullet? sounds like someone from Wanted

Yeah - he only has a really small role, and I'm not sure he really curves bullets, I was just trying to excuse the drawing ;-) Actually he's only in the story to get shot down, so he can get saved by the Bad Guys' sister, so she can eventually end up working for the Good Guys instead of her brothers.
:icongabag1337:
so he's a red shirt, but he doesnt die and then he switches sides from the people who saved him to the people they fight.
I bet you he's gonna take the bullet that someone curves to save someone's life



Awesome

:iconkijara1:
Yeah that'd be cool :-)
He doesn't actually die, because Kijara (the bad guys' sister) saves him. I don't know what's gonna happen to him later - I don't have room for more in my first album, but I'm already planning the sequels ;-)

Finally got a few minutes spare to check out your gallery - I especially like these design-type sketches and drawings you've got here!

This is a great design - it actually has the feel of something that could exist in the real world. I can't think of higher praise for a mechanical design than that! :)
:iconkijara1:
Aaaw thanks :-)
Yeah I do try to make my designs look like something "real", even though I make them a bit futuristic too. I guess it turned out okay with this bike - I just need to study bikes more so I don't accidentially leave out stuff like... er... the brakes, for instance... :blush:
