David Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 A new seat for a client in New York. Old artwork but it still looks pretty good. Dave Quote
dirtclod Posted December 3, 2010 Report Posted December 3, 2010 Looking good ! Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Members GrampaJoel Posted December 3, 2010 Members Report Posted December 3, 2010 Old design maybe but somethings old get better with age. It's hard to beat a great design. Just out of curiosity, where do you guys get the metal part to make seats? The seat frame I guess it would be called. Are they made from steel or aluminum or maybe fiberglass? Quote

Joel, The seat pan in this case is commercially available. This seat is going on a Sucker Punch motorcycle in New York and the brand of seat that Sucker Punch uses is West Eagle. West Eagle makes their pans available and also plain complete seats. They are steel. Dave Theobald Quote
Members shirleyz Posted December 3, 2010 Members Report Posted December 3, 2010 Even if the design wasn't that great, you'd make it look good. Can't wait to see it finished. Shirley Quote badassseats As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. ~George Bernard Shaw

Shirley Hey Shirley, This was one of ..... maybe the first tattoo style seat that I ever did. It showed well at the IFoLG show in Columbus and now a customer in New York wants one for his new Sucker Punch bike. Glad to hear that you are getting out the tools again.... getting back into seats or going another direction this time? Hang in there things are bound to get better. Dave Quote

Members Spinner Posted December 6, 2010 Members Report Posted December 6, 2010 The work continues Looking good David. I notice in the updated pictures that you altered the scales on the dragon's back when you cut them from what you had when you traced/drew them. Any insights as to why? Was it due to a scaling (no pun intended) issue or simply a layout change or...? Just curious...always educational to hear why folks do certain things.

The linework will be covered by detailing the scales at a later time. Dave Quote
