I'm having Carter do mine!!!

these things look expensive any idea what the average charge to get a rendering done?

I would do it for free, I work by hand, in my personal drawings I don't use color, since I'm no expert with it but I've been practicing with it and I might do a pretty nice job if someone give me a shot, again, work by hand... anyone interested?
if say yes, what style are you looking for? I already have a billion of ideas for it

Prices depend on what you need. Many variables come into play when you're considering your rendering budget. Quick photoshop chops can easily handle a wheel and paint change but often aren't great for high-resolution garage art. If you like unique art of your project that looks like....well, art and can be converted into a large format poster then a rendering is what you need. When you start looking at multiple variations of paint and wheels, add in complex body mods, custom interiors, one-off wheels and project management, you can drive up the price. I've worked on quickie projects that were $150 and I've worked on major design projects that were in the $9K+ range. Most projects are under $800. More time=more money.

Liz Miles wrote an article featuring many of the artists/designers that hang out here. Here's a link, hopefully it helps out. If you have further questions, give any of us a call.

^yeah...
as I was saying, I could work for free, you can qualify the quality of my work, I just need that someone gives me a shot, I want to try working only by hand (since I have no software for design...), and for me, rendering by hand it's the real work... without disqualifying the work of the real designers, since their work is amazing, but I prefer working by hand, and if you're interested tell me, I work for free because I don't really have interest in the money right now

btw: Ben Hermance, I ADMIRE you...

Thanks Mex, I started off doing all my work free too just to get experience and opportunities. It's a tough road, lemme tell you.

Ben is a great artist and a great guy to boot! Has helped me out tremendously! I highly recommend him to anyone!

I can also speak from experience in working with Ben on my project. He is great to work with and does a great job too. Here is an exaple or two.
