KliffsKustomHouse Report post Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Hey all, Has been ages since I've posted anything up here so I thought it was about time to share some new work. I just shipped this to a customer in Melbourne Australia. It's only my 4th customer seat and even though it's not really my style I'm fairly happy with the result. I'm still have a lot to learn I think but they're getting better. It's for a show bike owned by a guy they call the Turk. The brief was to have his name and a bunch of Middle Eastern style elements to fill it out. It's going on a long, black, wide tyre chopper and a mate who is painting the bike is carrying the seats graphic style through to the tank and frame in gold leaf. Hopefully I can post some pics of the finished bike soon..... you all know how these projects go though. I used a seeder tool to create the textured background. Does anyone have some advice on other tools to create distressed textures and backgrounds? Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers, Kliff Edited October 19, 2009 by KliffsKustomHouse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TroyS Report post Posted October 19, 2009 I'm like you, it's not really my style, but it is a VERY nice looking seat. The lines are very clean, the braided edge looks great, the color is awesome! Your customer should be VERY happy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

outcast Report post Posted October 19, 2009 Kliff, nice seat. Well done! As fars a background texture stamps give Tandy's D294 series a try. Also, hidecrafters PA003, 004, and 005 are very nice pebbler stamps for the price. I use them, and like both sets for backgrounders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
