time to call the professionals

can anyone recommend a good illustrator/photoshop artist for doing some renderings. I've generated a couple images and have a lot of ideas, but I'm close to the end of my photoshop abilities.

i'm not looking for a simple rims/paint chop... the project is a 79 camaro with a lot of body mods and I need to get something better up on the wall for motivation and as a project guide.

I know just the guy. LOL

Anyway, there are several artists/designers that are regulars here that you can check out (the others will probably all respond to this thread).

Each of us has some online portfolio to view to see if it matches up with the style you are looking for. There is a huge range of media used to convey what it is you need to do. Some like to use traditional markers, some do photoshop chops, some mix the two and others create 3D models in CAD.

You can click the link in my signature to see if my style interests you. PM, email or call for more info.

Good luck!

ya, i did some forum searching and found some peoples names... I was hoping to find a stickey or something in the multimedia section with a list of people who do it professionally/on the side. that would be nice.

ben... I found your website, but hadnt searched for you on here. i'll email you with psds and a description of what i'm trying to pull off, maybe you can give me a quote.

thanks!

I use John McBride over at www.midniteoctane.com for most of my renderings.

I've emailed some people.

I'll share with the world my awefull skilz! If someone wants to take a crack at this stuff, go ahead. I might repost this in a seperate thread.

i've opened up the wheel wells (I dont like the stuffed look)
extended the rear bumper
shortened the tail and nose
dropped the nose/created a chin
bubbled the hood
71-73 style quarters/glass

I still need to make a front 3/4 view to include the 71 RS style grill (no split) nose and the chin. also thinking about some side ground effects to tie the lowered nose and tail together.
