Dragon Seat

[David]

Great as always Roger.

The color is terrific. Is that a shoe polish finish on it? I saw the Kiwi can in the background.

Hope you are staying busy.

thanks guys!

spinner.. there are plenty of pics if you search with Google.

most all the dragons i have seen are jap style and i wanted to do something different.

i will post a couple pics of the bike once i get them. this thing has some crazy sheet metal

Have you tried the new Bing.com image search? I had been looking on google for the right pictures (unfortunately having read up on "traditional" dragons and my fiancee being 1/2 Japanese, it's gotta be technically correct as well as nice looking) and found a lot on google but then yesterday tried Bing and whoa! A whole ton I hadn't seen showed up in the search. Ended up drawing my own last night based on pictures of statues & bronzes from some Japanese Temple gardens.

I really like how you got the colors to fade from a golden hue to red then to black on the seat, it looks awesome that way. Could you give a quick overview of how you accomplish that? I'm still learning about dying processes.

Thanks,

Chris

haven't tried anything but google as i have had good luck finding what i need.

as far as the dye goes.... i learned quite some time ago to use an airbrush to apply my dye. there is way more comtrol and you don't need a top of the line airbrush to get the job done.

if you have any other questions, let me know and i will do what i can to answer them
