Project Rendering Help

[dale]

Thanks to all who PM'd, and supplied advice here, as well.
Special thanks to Brian S. at Problem Child for his enormously helpful PM, and his praise for so many of the other artists on the site. He gave me a lot to consider, and even helped me choose an artist other than himself that would better match my wishes for the car.
Rest assured, there will be more projects in my family, and that I will spread the work around, and incorporate as much of the talent here as possible!
All of the artists here should be commended on their skill and professionalism.

Dale,

You have come to the right place. I am sure you will find someone in this forum to help out on your '72 Malibu poject.
Looks like you found Brian. He's talented enough to help with your vision!

having a rendering done is one of the best investments you can make.
suggestion .. you need good digital images for you artist to work with.
you need to talk with these guys to get the feel for who will give you what you want...
i went with the 3-d image from CARTER HICKMAN DESIGN. i wanted a picture type image.something that looked so real you didnt know it wasnt the finished car.....
its in the new NOVEMBER POPULAR HOTRODDING. if you have the issue for reference.
carter was great to work with.i cant say enough good things about the way he worked with me on this project.
there is a bunch of talent that post on this site....good luck
oh, i attached the image to this post...

Nice 3D work but it looks somewhat like a die-cast model car. Not enough detail to my liking. Colors are great. Still not realistic enough.

well..i hesitate to respond ...but i have to..

WHERE DID I ASK FOR YOUR OPINION ON MY RENDERING ??
I DIDNT !!
I POSTED TO HELP THE PERSON ASKING ABOUT RENDERINGS.
I GOT EXACLTY WHAT I WANTED FROM CARTER HICKMAN .
I COULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION OR PRODUCT.

SEVERAL GUYS INCLUDING MYSELF WHO ARE LONG TIME MEMBERS OF THIS FORUM HAVE SPENT MONEY WITH CARTER HICKMAN

SO I WOULD SAY THIS

PICKING AT OTHER ARTIST WORK ON THIS FORUM WHEN NOT ASKED TO DO SO
NOT A GREAT WAY TO PROMOTE YOURSELF

Thanks to all for their replies and input, insight and guidance.

I would like to comment on the above posts. DVierstra, your commentary was way off-base, and uncalled for. I am a fan of Carter Hickman's work (another artist here turned me on to his creativity - thanks, Brian! - and I can't get enough!), and enjoy his ability to create something unique. Personally, I do not like the hyper-realistic renderings. I like to see an artists' representation and creativity displayed.

Comments like yours are very unprofessional, not to mention rude. I had posted seeking guidance on procuring a rendering, not an art critique.

Radrambler, great rendering, and very cool project! As Andrew McBride posted, there is a lot of talent here, and I commend them on sharing such fantastic work.
