Artist's Comments

This piece is very old. I hadn't planned on posting it, but decided to post it as a part of Traditional Day.

The piece is 5x5" and is made from 1 ply white museum board. The image is of Kaneda on his motorcycle from Akira. I did this piece not too long after completing the Priss sculpture ([link]).

I was still learning and there are many things I would change if I did this piece over (primarily, I think I would do it in color and I would have done some texture on the tire.), but I do like it and loved the movie as well. I'm not sure if it can be seen, but I did put a wind shield on the bike. It is plastic and may not show up well in the photo.

wow, as always, it's great to see your early work! Keneda on his bike has always been one of the iconic images of anime - and to see him portrayed like this, is just awesome!

you are way too sick. I love your style!
Can I please tell you how *patiently* I've been waiting for you to post this piece?! I really really love this.

So what do I love about it? Well, let me begin with Kenada's left shoulder (his left). Amongst all the other details of this piece I find myself drawn to this area for the amazing depth that it offers in combination with the handlebar. That to me really defines his body behind the bike. I also really like the left boot (his left). I'm awful with feet and so I'm always enamored of those that can draw them in proportion to the rest of the body and you've not only done that but have made it seem just so real. And the windshield is such a nice, detailed touch. Although light, it is visible in full view.

As for the color, I'm a total fan of the all white. Would you consider doing this piece again but this time in color?
WOW, so amazing!!!! i love you!!!

Thanks! I *loved* that bike when I first got into anime and waited until I found the right image to make a piece of art work. The foreshortening is what drew me to do this piece.
You aren't the first to say that (and most likely not the last....).

Thanks!
Thanks, you are too good to me.

The handle bars are my favorite part, they required the most work because of all the layers. I'm glad the windshield can be seen, it is a critical detail.

I don't have any plans to redo this piece in color. I've got so many projects due as well as other projects I just want to try that I don't have the time.
OMFG.

I was just watching this movie last night and this is so amazing. You don't know how much I want this in my room.
WOW!!! Really nice work!!! :+fav:
