Bat makers custom bats!

[Madsalty]

I was thinking. All of us bat makers out there don't actualy get to show off our best skills so i decided to plant myself into the game and create my own custom bat for myself. It is basicaly for fun, but who knows there may be a bat makers bat pack. So feel free to add your pics to this thread and let me know what you think!

Below my first attempt (4gb) The CS Lightning What do you think to the idea? Can you create unique custom bats?

This is my first try at bat making so please help me. Specially front colour of the bats looks unrealistic.

Ok, Good first try. I know your using photoshop (i could be wrong) because of the custom shape on the face. The back looks pretty good but select the left or right half and ajust the brightness to give it that 3d look. On the front try applying the design on top of a wood grain taken from an actual bat pic. Hope i help because you have some good ideas. I also like the painted back thing kind of like R.Pontings Kahuna and good use of colour fade. Just needs a little tweaking.

He's my second it's nice and simple but still looks good what do you think?

It's (4gb)

Oh and thanks for showing an interest in this idea, plus you 'painted back' has inspired me, my next after this will have one. Thanks.

Thanks for help. I like your idea of custom bats, i will make more if you can please provide me a template of bat with just wood grain. So that i can use it as base and work ahead.
