Cycle

This motorized vehicle was designed for Mythos of Solaria. It is a piece of magitech, where it's powered by magic as opposed to the conventional chemical reactions inside of a real motorcycle. The motorcycle is the owned by one of the main protagonists in the series, Nicolas Tasserell, the Undead Prince. The bike's internal magic system makes it operate, however, the machine requires the magical signature that Nicolas is capable of, making him the sole rider of the vehicle.

I used two-point perspective to position and draw the motorcycle to give the image more depth than other drawings. It started as a sketch in a sketchbook, before I made a carbon copy of the image to transfer the sketch onto a thicker board. I decided to use copic markers to color the image, and to challenge myself by only use one hue of color; blue. The entire bike is colored and shaded with blue ink, with the exception for the front headlight, which, to draw attention to the front, was coloured yellow and blue.

I ended up framing this image, because of the quality and the outcome of the design. Unlike sketches, the copic markers makes this image look finished. The final design ended on a 14.5" x 13.5" artboard.
