Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Well, as in the fable, the tortoise defeated the hare. I inked the figure and "shellmet", then I ran it through Streamline. Now Illustrator comes with a feature called Live Trace, which replaced Adobe's stand-alone app. known as Streamline.
I built the bike in Illustrator and left out a lot of details so that the eye would stay on that head after making the rounds.
The background is from a sandstone wall on Gooseberry Mesa, just East of my home in Southern Utah. I torqued the color in Photoshop.
The tortoise seemed to be the best choice since there is a regional tortoise preserve nearby that is well-known among outdoor enthusiasts and couch potatoes alike. It's beautiful country.
