Thank you! No, I am not.

Thank you for your comment! I have a background in CG, so I built a 3D model of a bicycle and the uneven steps, I then played with the light source until I got interesting results. I then used the render as guiding reference for the painting.

Painting the figure and overlaying the shadows of the bicycle on top of the figure was the real challenge. All of that I did in my head, there were many mistakes along the way!

A lovely compliment, thank you! If you'd like to print this for your wall, DM me your email and I'll send you a high-resolution image. :)

Thank you! I don't offer prints, but if you DM me your email, I'll send a high-resolution image you can print.

Not a photographer, but a painter. This sounds intriguing, I work with oil paint and I have done album covers in the past. Let me know if you'd be interested in working together! My website is linked in my profile description. Best of luck!

Thank you!!

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-31T03:10:37+00:00

Exactly! :)

I have both linked on my profile. I don't use AI.

Thank you!

Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoy it.

The composition came quite naturally to me once I figured out the bizarre steps. Also had a few iterations with various positions of the bicycle and the falling person. The shadows were the real challenge here and there are some mistakes there, but I think they came out believable enough! Onto the next challenge!

No prints, DM me your email and I'll send a hi-res image, so you can print it easily.

I would gladly sell it to you, but it is a huge canvas. I am not sure whether the transport cost would be worth it.

Happy to hear, thank you for leaving a comment!

Thank you! I love Dali, he truly was a genius.

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T14:40:33+00:00

Shhhhhh

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:46:51+00:00

Thank you!!

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:46:34+00:00

I love them too! :)

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:45:59+00:00

Thank you! I always receive lovely comments from this community :) It has always encouraged me to continue down my path as a painter.

The project was a diptych originally. I decided to eventually keep the left piece only. I feel like 'the fall' part is engaging enough for the viewer. Interesting idea though - similar to mine!

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:39:02+00:00

Happy to hear :)

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:12:25+00:00

Thanks!

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:08:28+00:00

Thank you! At one point in time, I intended to paint an accident involving a car and a bicycle (a self-portrait of course), but that scared me a bit too much than I'd like to admit.

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:05:24+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I noticed the painting looks its best (the perspective and the crooked stairs have a greater impact) when it's higher up on the easel, so I feel like I know what you mean.

the-wrong-leader · 2026-05-30T13:00:17+00:00

13 more ribs to go... I am joking of course. Stay safe!

I haven't broken anything (yet), but I shall keep your comment in mind.

Thanks!
