Project overview

The model is perched on a stool against grey, leaning forward with one arm pointed at the camera: a riding pose with nothing to ride. Apart from the stool, the frame already has what the concept needs.

Transformation details

The bike went in first, at the height that puts the body where it already sits; the vehicle was fitted to the pose, never the other way round.
A wet street and a neon skyline were built behind, with the reflections on the tarmac taken from the same signs so the ground and the sky agree.
Magenta and cyan rim light was added along the arm and the back, and kept off the face so the skin stays natural.
The stool was removed and a contact shadow drawn under both wheels.
