David Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 I think it looks excellent Dave! They should like that design, it's modern old school just like their bikes. The sparrows are a deeper cut into traditional tattoo flash than most people are familiar with and you translated them wonderfully to leather. A+++ as always. -The Wolf PS- I tried that modified basket weave you suggested with a florentine lace and it came out awesome! Wolf, I'm glad that worked out for you, be sure to thank ShirleyZ next time you see her post, she is the one who taught it to me. Dave Quote
David Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 Well, I guess Sucker Punch accepted the design. I wrote them that I was going to do a brown to light tan fade on the seat. The response was "Can you dye it black?" I guess that means they like it? LOL Ya gotta love em. Dave Theobald Quote
Members SouthPaw Posted January 25, 2009 Members Report Posted January 25, 2009 Great work ...my thoughts might be to do something different to the word 'SALLYS' it gets a little lost in the star....maybe a larger or different font....my 2 cents.... Quote SouthPawArt.com Southpaw Art - Etsy
David Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 South Paw I agree with you, the Sallys is too thin and too small, it was that way on their trademark also. Originally all three words were inside the shield shape which makes everything hard to read.. I felt I'd taken enough liberties with their logo (some companies get real wierd if you change their mark) so I left it in scale with the other letters. Thanks for taking a look, Dave Quote
MADMAX22 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Looks great, too bad they want you to dye it black. Ahh well. Quote
Members DarkDreamsLeather Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Posted January 26, 2009 I like it, are you going to color it or just do a stain? Quote Not Reponsible for any injury my creations may cause....
David Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 BLACK IT IS! Thanks for all your comments. This is one of the most helpful exercises we do here. Finding out what others think and why is always a helpful design exercise. The tally on the votes was 27-1 in favor of liking the seat. I wish the 1 would have left a comment for me. Thanks again, Dave Quote
Members TroyS Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Posted January 26, 2009 Dave, I really enjoy seeing your work! It's inspirational! That's a great looking seat and as far as the sparrows go, I'm not a big fan of them, however, your CARVING of them is exceptional! Fantastic detail and clarity. Where do get your kangaroo lace? I'm looking for some 1/4" or 3/16" Black.... about 50 ft or so... Any help is greatly appreciated! Quote Troy
