Road to Ruin

My Goldie is a 1962 500 DBD34 Clubmans. The colour is Nutely Blue which was used on the New Jersey bikes such as the Cataliner scramblers.

All BSA Gold Star motorcycles were hand built and legend has it that this expense was a primary factor in the demise of BSA.

The World's Finest Motorcycle

The 101 Scout was produced between 1928 and 1932, it was noted for its handling and was popular with racers, hill-climbers, and trick riders. It is still used in wall of death stunt exhibitions. Enthusiasts have differing views on the replacement of the 101 Scout. Fans of Indian's technical achievements acclaim the 101 Scout as the pinnacle of Indian technology, while fans of classic Indian styling hail its replacement for bringing classic Chief styling to the Scout line. This Indian Scout was widely regarded as the best motorcycle Indian ever made. Wiki.

1966 Triumph Thunderbird 6T - Final

I have just added the Triumph Thunderbird logo and English flag to finish of my painting. This adds a bit of bling and info to set the bike off a bit better. To see more of my work click - HERE.

Triumph Thunderbird update - design.

The Triumph Thunderbird is now complete so it time to add some design, starting with the Triumph logo and the shadow under the bike; both these elements make the Triumph stand out from the white background.

Triumph Thunderbird 6T update - Tone.

I have added highlights and shadows to the colour of the Triumph Thunderbird. It is becoming a 3D object now. It looks too dark but when the background scene is created it will be OK.
I find the next crucial stage very difficult. What to put in the background? Definitely something that reflects the attitude of the Thunderbird 6T. Atmosphere and mystery are important to me so it will take some experimenting. To see some more finished works click - HERE.

Triumph Thunderbird art update 2

I have added a bit of colour behind the black line work. That was the easy bit and now comes the difficult and time consuming but fun stage of painting some life into this dead Triumph. I will create highlights and shadows that will transform this dull image into a living breathing
Triumph Thunderbird worth riding.
If only.

Triumph on the drawing board.

Here is the first stage of a illustration of a 1966 Triumph Thunderbird 6T, the last with the headlamp nacelle. The Triumph Thunderbird name was dropped in 1966, reappearing briefly in the 80s and later in the 90s with the 900cc Triumph triple. I will post further stages of the illustration as they are completed.
