I've always been a fan of psychedelic / counterculture artwork of the 70's - especially guys like R. Crumb and Robert Williams.
I recently came across a photograph, that I must have taken a long time ago of a Rat Fink chopper. And I decided to do a bleeding ink illustration of the motorcycle.
I never imagined how time consuming and mind pounding the project would be. So, here is what I have so far. I am really happy with how the chrome came out .. but I kind of screwed up the right arm .. you can see a dark bleed .. I can probably fix this is Photoshop. I should have done this while porting the picture .. but too tire and I want to go to bed.
Good night ...
Rat Fink is the original creation is by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth
Finished a rough draft of the entire bike.
