You have to dig photoshop
Posted by Hon | August 29th, 2009 | Filed under Blog
I can usual visualize things in my head, but when I can’t, I sketch things out or hit photoshop. I did a few things, narrowed forks, painted tank, did a crazy pipe bend after seeing a green shovel in DicE that had something similar, cut cam cover, added fork gaitors, rear brake, chain, sissy bar, rear fender, ppad . . .
