I am mostly looking at this from the technical perspective. It appears to be a hoverbike of sorts, with a turbine in front and what I assume exhaust on the other side. I have worked on aircraft engines before, and I can see that the parts between "entrance" and "exit" do not make much sense. For instance, the metal ribbed parts under the fuel tank look like regular piston engine parts - and there doesn't seem to be much connecting the flying parts at all. The air taken in by the turbine has nowhere particular to go, except maybe blow around the now useless piston engine which has no wheels to drive. Also, with this much fuel, it probably wouldn't get very far, even if it was a full-fledged turbojet.
Bonus: how is the steering achieved? The handlebars seem to be fixed solid, with no visible linkage to anything. I assume the meaning was to rotate the front part, like the front wheel on a regular bike, but steering with a jet engine usually happens with the plane's rudder, and sometimes with vectored thrusting, which happens in the back.
Of course, all of that can be explained away with magic, but it seems to attempt at least some technical realism (given that the girl is doing mechanical repairs and not waving some magical implement).
Same with lift generation - this thing needs wings and aerodynamic surfaces, there are so-called lifting bodies - essentially wingless aeroplanes with the fuselage generating lift, but they are fairly complicated and probably do not scale down well. The body is much smoother as well. (BTW, your "engine" does not have a cowling, neither on or off for repairs, that'll give you a lot of drag and waste engine power).
Also, the location seems to be a bit out of nowhere, a concrete wall with walkway seemingly hovering above fields in the distance. Perhaps that is logical in this character's universe, but it looks so unattached.
As for the rest, the idea is great and a jetbike does look cool - would love a more technically proper one, though. Some bits look a bit unfinished - mostly forgotten pencil strokes, as other has pointed out.
That all being said, I do really like the concept.

I still really like the character and the design of the bike. The environnement is better on this one compare to the last you did. I think the contrast could be more strong because the sun seem to shine hard, the picture could gain more impact with this bit more of contrast.
The sketchy style is pretty cool and i like it like that. No need to be always very clean in your pictures.
There are some little details wich could be better like the movement of the hair, the cat (again...) or the position of the jacket but it's a great picture anyway

It's difficult to critique this one. Every time I look, I think I spot something and then I look again and I realize there's a detail I hadn't considered.
For instance, her vest appears to be in the wrong perspective, with just a little too much of the emblem showing and a very odd shape. I look at it again, and again, and then I realize the arm-holes are huge, it's probably not buttoned up tightly anyway, and the way her ponytail is flying indicates a pretty strong wind. Then the vest makes sense. It's being shoved around by the wind.
The lighting and composition of this piece is remarkable. The details show a lot of thought went into this.
About the only thing I noticed that could be an issue is the pencil lines around her arm and the ledge above the bike.It looks like the sketch lines were not removed. But that is also a style thing, and it lends a bit of character to the piece. The other thing I just noticed is the right handlebar. The lever there is transparent; you can see the traces of graffiti from the wall 'through' it.

Great job! The girl repairing the bike, the cat watching, wondering how long it will take for her to finish the job, so they can be back on the road again!
Well done!

Total fantasy, I can't handle spider man and such, but this grabs me.Β Front end of bike shows an intake for a turbine, behind two large cylinders in a V configuration.Β Incongruous, but who cares?Β The image speaks of an Asian American chick fixing her HOG and she has little regard for modesty.Β Love it.
PS can't afford to pay for every artist I like.Β Have to stick with DArt and it's archaic censorship policies.

I wrote it all out in the critique, but some quick and dirty -
1) why are there random piston engine parts in the middle? and
2) girl how you gonna steer this thing? This is literally strapping yo ass to a jet engine...
I like the style very much though.

Very good work
I like your Broomy, Β i want this, it's a good bike !!

Not sure why this wasn't in my favourites. I come back and look at it all the time!

So it's a hover-bike that she's going to ride bottomless ("Half-Sky-Clad", if you will :-p)?Β
... That seems cool and sensual on multiple levels <3.Β
I love the sense of atmosphere, BTW, with the wind on her hair and jacket, the writing on the wall, and all that stuff ^_^.Β

True bikers never take off their cut-offs. You can go without pants, but never without your cut-off.

Very sexy. Nice twist on the traditional Witch's Broomstick, IΒ love the cat, and the curve the witch's butt's making.Β -blush-Β Β I like a lot of different erotica, but there is a certainΒ power to pictures like this where the lady is (effectively)Β nude, and utterly unconcerned at her nudity.Β And the witch's air of competency & confidence adds a lot to this power.
Oh, and from the red triangle on Broomy's intake, do I take it that Broomy has an ejector seat?
π: 0 β©: 1
lol at first I read that as "erector seat", now that's a strange image...Β 
Thanks, maybe, it's a good idea

Nice! I like the atmosphere and details. The girl's curves are not to be sneered at either
