le tour de Balto WIP

Before I start my next big Gunpla build, I decided to do some artwork for the time being. So happens this idea of mine which I conceived 2 years ago finally pop back to my mind. le tour de balto (this is only a temporary title) I always wanted to do balto fan art but never had the time and the idea for it until now, and what better would it to fuse my favorite sport together with it. This was actually my third attempt, as the previous 2 attempts was so horrible done that I totally scarp it. Not until 2 weeks ago I decided to give it a shot again and finally got it right, then I decided to go on to get it complete, well in terms of drawings and anatomy I am still trying to get it right, the toonboom line work still need a lot of fine tuning. coloring wise will put on hold until i am fully happy with the line work.

I really had a lot of fun when I am drawing balto's bike, it was an old vintage bike name "look KG 96" dated back during the 80's and it was my first dream road bike when I first started cycling. If I am not mistaken it was a steel frame version, Look KG 96 are the very first carbon bike frames in the 80s, not full carbon, but they are join together with aluminum lugs. only the tubes are carbon, it was manufacture by a company call TVT. the steel frame suits balto underdog story very well, riding an old bike (probably from his father) racing with today hi-tech bikes ridden by steele, but it still comes down to leg muscles and courage.

That's all for now, stay tune for the color version next.
