He's leading into the next turn.

LOL!

So I take the BG is a photo that has just been transformed to impressionist or something? Maybe you should have flipped it and zoomed to get a previous curve...
The thing that bugs me is the drawing doesn't integrate with the BG, its style is too different so it looks slapped on. And it is.

The bike and all itself came out super nice.

Yeah, it was just slapped on. I was so tired of this image when I was finished that I just half assed the background. I hate to admit that but in the end any other reason would just be a lie. Either way this pic doesn't live up to my core values. Someday I plan on finishing it properly.
