BearMan Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Here is a checkbook cover I just finished tooling. The sheridan style design is by Jim Linnell. I hope that I did him justice. I just got my Photo Studio/tent,,, & just had to try it out. It Really helps ALOT!! I just need to get a few things figured out,,, like the best angle to prop the piece,,, & the best angles for the lights(which came with the tent). But for the first picture with it,,, I'm pretty impressed! Soooo what do "Ya'LL" think???

Members Randy Cornelius Posted April 11, 2009 Members Report Posted April 11, 2009 very nice work, but.... get rid of the matting tool for the background and get you some bar grounder or round grounders for the sheridan work. Just a suggestion to make a great piece of work better. Randy Quote Randy Cornelius Cornelius Saddlery LaCygne, Kansas Randy & Riley Cornelius Ride Hard, Shoot Fast and Always Tell the Truth...
Members 2MadJacks Posted April 11, 2009 Members Report Posted April 11, 2009 Very talented, looks really clean. Definetly not an easy project. nicely done, James Quote
Members Tkleather1 Posted April 11, 2009 Members Report Posted April 11, 2009 Looks really good but I agree with randy I like the bar grounder with sheridan. What is that matter though I think it could look really cool on some other projects. Quote Tim Worley TK-Leather If you don't ask and dont try how are you gonna learn anything?
carr52 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 What does a bar grounder look like? Tom Quote
BearMan Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Posted April 11, 2009 Hello Tom, A Bar Grounder is a series of small circles gouped very close together. They can be in multiples of 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 sometimes more. They are right, I should have used a bar grounder for the background. I had already started with the one I used here, without thinking. By then I was committed,,, sooo I had to finish it out. But,,, it would be better with a bar grounder type of background. Thanks Everybody for all the nice comments!! I knew somebody would see the "substitution" on the background mistake. Force of habit can be a terrible thing,,, hehehe I just started going, before I realized,,, & said a few "Choice" words!! Ohhh well Tom, Here is a picture of bargrounder impressions.
