Project Rendering Help

[dale]

Hi everyone, wasn't too sure on where to post this so I had concluded that the artwork area was best.
I'm currently planning my project, a 1972 Malibu, and giving thought to having a rendering made, in hopes of narrowing down some choices. I know there is a lot of talent here, and thought it best to seek guidance from these talented people.
My questions concern price, time to create a rendering, and of course how many different views are included?
I'm in NM, if being closer to anyone makes any difference at all to the artist.
Thank you for your time, and if this isn't posted in the right place, I apologize.

Dale....
Welcome....
You'll find some very talented artists / designers here. Jason Rushforth, Ben Hermance and John McBride to name a few. Each one is very professional and full of ideas and talent.
YOUR biggest dilemma will be which one to chose!!

My apologies to those who I have not mentioned.
These are the ones I have spoken to and worked with in the past.

Thank you very much!
I had seen that this community has a large number of "big names", and thought it best to start here. I am seeing a variety of styles, and all are impressive!
Question: Have you used both digital artwork, as well as pen and paper? Which do you prefer for projects?
Thanks in advance for any help.

E-mail or call Jason Rushforth ,he has done all my work and you can see it in the October issue of Super Rod magazine. Jason has been very good to work with and the "the design process" is the best part of the build. I really enjoy it. thanks, Greg Peterson Extreme Powdercoating.net

Thanks for the mentions, Greg and Steve. I appreciate it and like Steve said, there's a lot of talent on this site.

As far as digital or hand-drawn, that really depends on your taste and personal preference. The number of views also depends on your needs and budget.

None of us live very close to NM but it really doesn't matter. I've worked with customers all over the country and even doing a 69 Camaro for a client in the Phillippines right this minute.

Drop me an email, a PM or a call if you'd like to discuss your project or if another designer on this site suits your needs better, give them a shout and they'll take good care of you.

Thank you, guys. Always helps to have input, and even another artist here PM'd with great things to say, so, Jason, PM sent.
Thanks for all of the help everyone!

Seams like the right place to me. There is an aweful lot of talent around to choose from. One thing I like is that it seams that everyone here is pretty good to work and get along with.

[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.

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...
