I was screwing around...and came up with this (yeah, I know, pink....I will use more colors later):

I used a pic of Marla as reference
and, yes, the bike isn't exactly accurate........oh well.

looks cool

 

[MMcG]

reminds me of grzgal who posts from time to time. I think she races out of the Boston area and always has pink helmets and kit.

Thats way better then I could ever do!

Yeah, seriously check out that drop... I'd be f'ing scared!!

 

[narlus]

yeah, i like the overall aesthetic but the xc bike / FF helmet & body armor is incongruous.

I thought that too, but it looked too plain without all the 'shiny' protection.....



I'm a girl.

I like shiny things.

 

[spincrazy]

i like it. Don't worry about splitting hairs.

Thank You

Nice work Grrl. It would make a nice background.

that is funny you should say that. I used to ride with a local NEWS anchor and the guy used to ride a really nice XC hard tail on our local trails with a full face helmet. He used to say his face was his lively hood! I would just laugh cause his face isn't that great on camera and even worse off cam.

a bunch of people in our area are now riding with shin/knee, and elbow pads on stuff that I don't really think you need em!

But I like the Art none the less!

What program did you use?

I used Illustrator for this.
I also use Photochop, Bryce, SketchUp, 3D StudioMax....

toys.

they're all toys.

 

[stinkyboy]

they're all toys.

Tools, not toys.

As a graphic designer for the last 20 years, I freaking APPROVE!

 

[MudGrrl]

If I have fun with them.... they're toys.


tools kinda implies work. I'm not a fan of 'work'.



Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it!
and... you're current avatar scares the bejeebus outta me.

I think a lot of FR bikes are looking like XC bikes, especially without another bike for comparison.

On that note, I never make fun of anyone wearing a fullface, even on a road ride (although he is riding the Switchblade). You start laughing, then faceplant yourself 10 minutes later? Karma, dude.

 

[stinkyboy]

you're current avatar scares the bejeebus outta me.

You don't like my high school yearbook photo?

 

[DHS]

very nice. i like it.

you should have sanjay(metal) make shirts with that design.

Thank You!
one of my friends is currently trying to figure out how to make a shirt out of this design


but I think it is too rectangular for a shirt.

That would be a nice wraparound T-shirt.

There was a girl that used to come out and see the band who looked like that...only the beard wasn't quite as thick.

I think I know her:

 

[Angus]

I like it alot, I am bummed though This is the kind of post that really deserves an "I approve" but I have wasted my supply on others less deserving..... I shall be back....

 

[Angus]

I think I know her:

everytime you post that I get the giggles, its like the Hunchback of NotreDame meets Dance fever.....

 

[PatBranch]

That looks so good. Pink,black/grey, white always look good. I think you should leave the colors.

It doesn't have to be an xc bike. Why not a 4x/jump bike?

 

[maxyedor]

That is a killer design, I'll take a shirt in blue, if you get around to making them.

 

[MudGrrl]

Thanks,

I'm not sure if this one will make it to a shirt....

it makes a good background though (so I've been told)

 

[Zark]

Cool design. Props on the Illustrator work! It'd be cool to add some ground texture in Photoshop too.

 

[Shyrmp]

I like shiny things.

I like shiny things too.

Very, very nice. I like it.

 

[DamienC]

I dig it. The rider in the illustration actually reminds me of our own Capt. Jack Sparrow. Her kit last year had similar colors if I recal correctly.

 

[bluebug32]

Wow, very nice...For once some talent came out of Cobleskill

 

[Reactor]

Pink and shiney... Nice!

 

[MudGrrl]

Wow, very nice...For once some talent came out of Cobleskill

BWA HA HA HA HA HA


oh, I'm sure plenty of the talent escaped Cobleskill....

That would be cool to do up a pic of the Capt.



I just gotta finish up the one I am working on right now.

Hey Mudgrrl, You should submit your drawing to Dirt Rag Magazine. It's cover material.
