Description

I recently spent a great deal of time working on a live-action adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira." I was literally two weeks away from going out to work in America on official pre-production when the plug was pulled on the whole operation.
Obviously I had immersed myself in Otomo's art during that period and couldn't quite shake off his influence. In particular, I felt primed to draw some heavy sci-fi bike action.

My upcoming Dredd story "The Death of Dan-E Cannon" features a lot of subtle references to "Akira"... it was written to be an episode that showcased Dredd's classic motorbike in all its glory. I went to the trouble of building a 3D model of The Lawmaster in Cinema 4D so I could find some angles of the bike we hadn't seen before. It was while I was flipping the model around that I stumbled across the angle that Otomo took for his famous "Akira" poster...

That gave me the idea to do an homage to that classic image.

Fully painted in acrylic, the artwork area measures 38 X 49.7 cm (and the art board measures 40 X 55 cm).
SOLD!
