I've been toying with different ideas and painting concepts, crystal effect, gladwrap effect, the "digital urban cammo" effect on Darren's R1 (I think it looks shit hot) I even had a play around and tried something different and got alright results but nothing I want to put on my bike, and I want it to be a little different too (as we all do;)).
Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that when I eventually get around to new paint I'm gonna but some hand drawn graphics(to a theme or something similar) on the tail, tank, guards etc, I'm positive that there are bikes out and about with this done already, I haven't seen it before but then, I haven't really been looking either.
Seeing as though I don't want to pull my bike off the road while I get my <s>lazy</s> overly busy arse into gear I'm thinking about the parts I want to paint as spares (when $$$ allow).
I haven't been on the end of a pencil for some years now, though I used to draw alot but I'm sure it'll all come back slowly and if it doesn't I know a few graphic artists and tatt artists who I'm sure will lend a hand for a few beers.
I want to see pics/ designs etc that others have either put into ink themselves or just found around the traps.
These are some I just quickly found and are roughly along the lines/style of design/pic I want to use.
