Pitlane #17 by Daniel Simon!

I finally recieved these babies while I was in France. Manually numbered and hand finished by Daniel Simon. Absolutely gorgeous and exquisite. The (still) wrapped unlimited version is for my daily casual reading. Pitlane's only for big days ^__^

Thanks @DanielSimonCom.

Awesomeness by Tom

Guys, check Tom McDowell's insane photo batch/sketch! I'm pleased to see him taking some of my shots and see what he transforms them into! Pretty bad-ass Tom.

Flying thing

So I watched a video tutorial of Ian Galvin, sketching one of his crazy moto-jets and I wanted to give it a try. I'm really far to be satisfied with this result but for the time I spent on it it's ok... Here it's not a moto-jet it's more like a...jet...thing. The second image is more a thumbnailing of the process where I tried to use as minimum layers as possible.

Gentlemen, start your engines

After doing the revival of the "Grimace" futuristic bike from the Game Extreme-G, here are 4 of my favorite AI opponent bikes. The interesting and creative part of this was to imagine what the bike looks like with the only few low-res images I found on the web.

For these bikes, I tried for the first time the texture mapping onto unfolded surfaces. This way, I could draw and position every rust and dent precisely on the bike.

Ultimate Motor City ice machine

Motor City Ultimate ice machine

As promised, here is a snapshot of my Motor City concept vehicle.

A tough and highly powerful machine on which I didn't even care thinking about steering nor seating features.
