I printed off a catalogue photo of an Orange bigT FR (just google it for a decent sized picture). i drew my bike using a compass and pencil until I had an outline (using the printed off Orange to make sure I got it in proportion i.e. wheelbase, BB height, headangle etc). I over-emphasized some of the bits to make it look cartoony (i.e. the size of the rotors/tyre knobbles) then went over it with a fine black graphic pen. After rubbing out the pencil lines I then scanned it onto my laptop, and coloured it using photoshop CS (on a layer below the outline). I used the Orange picture for reference, and a bit of common sense to give the bike a sense of 3D. It took ages, but the finished product looks pretty good. The Manitou/S-Type/SDG graphics are just copied and pasted off the Orange picture...

Il try and do some more, so watch this space...

other then the huge tapering Orange down tube, and the holes in the rims looks awesome, would love to see it with a more conventional DT

the top tube kind of defeats the point of standover height on a 4x/slopestyle bike
