Inspiration behind the image
I wanted to create a fast motorcycle,
01 which rushes through the icy wilderness. A
powerful jet of snow from under the wheels shows the
speed of this motorcycle. During the process, the
emphasis changed to focus more on the base. While
trying to establish a concept, I made a simple model of
a motorcycle and pasted it into the photograph of a
frozen landscape. I then started to paint objects,
though it was all very sketchy at this stage.
With an idea for the final image, I made a
02 simple rider for the bike as he was now a
secondary character. The model was in need of a
composition. I experimented with a variety of options
as to what the base could look like. The best of these
I rendered and finished with Photoshop.
Next I thought of a story for the arctic base. I
03 had the idea it could be an abandoned ship and
ran with this. For many years great ships sailed ice drifts,
cast anchor and worked in the frozen land, so it’s
reasonable such a base might appear. Taking this
inspiration as a basis for the ship, I made one
compartment, which provided a guide for the rest.
