In Need of a Rendering, Who do I choose?

[89cobraysi]

I am just at the point of wheels and paint on the car. I need someone to render a 68 chevelle with a 3" drop in front and rear. Who do I speak with?

I like Black wheels and trim (not a fan of chrome)
I like sinister (Grey car, black car, vibrant blue, with black wheels maybe)
I am open to suggestions on who to choose to do the rendering as well as ideas for the car
This will not be a show car, but a abused, over driven, balls to the wall street / touring car.

NO VINYL TOPS please. I have one on there now.

Shoot me some PMs or Posts.

Thanks,

[Mascoll]

Daniel, I've been trying to get ahold of you about your rendering. I've emailed you several times with no response. I need to send it to you on DVD so I need your address and talk to you about payment. Please get back to me.

Thanks, Travis

I like Ben Hermance's work. He's a sponsor for the site, and you can find a link to the right. Hermance Design.

Not sure if you're still looking or not but Shawn from Mascoll design was really easy to work with and I'm definitely impressed with how it turned out

Cater Hickman is the man.

the man! He did this for my Lexus a few years ago..

Guys I've done a rendering for him but I've had no response for over 3 weeks? I tried both the emails he gave me, and I hoped after posting on here he would contact me. So maybe something happend I dunno. He even wanted me to do another one of his Ford truck. On a side note, let me ask you professionals...do you guys collect payment up front or how do you work that?

[MuscleRodz]

most get a deposit up front. Having said that, here are a few pro's I would would recommend and all with a little differnt style depending on what kind of rendering you are looking for in no particular order

Funny as I have joined this site to warn prospective 'victims' out there of the Mascoll Design scam.
I am (as are most of you) 'hooked' on the Pro-Touring style. Have cars ranging from 67 Fastback,71 Cuda,69 Camaro, 71 E Type, 87 GN, 49 Cadillac(sled with 22s!) hell even a 73 Gremlin!! Most are in either a Pro-Touring or Pro-Street style. I love cars and have made many many friends around the globe from this 'addiction' of mine. I work hard and pay my taxes too !!! ;)
So nothing irks me more than being scammed. I'm a straight shooter and expect the same. In all aspects of life.
The purpose of this Email/Post:-
Was browsing various websites concerning Pro-Touring projects. Happened upon some awesome renderings(on this very site I believe) by Mascoll Designs. I was impressed and made contact. Was expecting these guys to be in LA,Miami,Atlanta or something!! Wouldn't ya know they were from my home town!! Toronto,Canada. My luck!!?? (haha sic)
The to Mascoll brothers,one the design(Sean) and his brother(who's name I forget) the business end.
They visited my project at my fabricators shop(a 30 mile drive from there home!) and seemed to understand my design cues. Perfect. I had already PayPal'd $800Cdn to there account. The 'business end' brother was impressed with the car but wanted another $800 Cdn as the project was "not your average render" (what is ??). I agreed,but only upon completion of the render. I know you may be thinking "$1600 for a render....!!"
Bear in mind I already had $75,000+ into the car with another $40K + needed and having an 'inspirational' poster on the garage wall would really help push us on on those 'darker days of a build'. I intend showing this car at SEMA and figured the money would be well spent. HaHA!!
NOTHING from Mascoll Designs!! Well I shouldn't say "nothing" as they did mail me a qtr panel view that was actually WAY off what we had discussed. I have a trail of emails verifying our correspondence re this 69 Camaro project. There was always an excuse. " need more time,it's tricky...." " working on it....."
etc etc etc
Well this has been going on for 9 MONTHS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough is enough.
I've contacted PayPal but 180 days have passed and they are unable to refund my payment now.
I've contacted my VISA card provider. They suggested small claims court!! Ha bloody ha!!
I was promised the render on March 8 2011 (a date picked from the heavens if you ask me) by Sean.
NOTHING has arrived and I'm convinced nothing will. I'm not a vindictive person by nature, however I actually bought these guys lunch at one of my restaurants!! I'm insulted and wish to save someone else the anguish.
I'm lucky to be in a position where I can afford to build these dream cars,many aren't.
I've asked for a refund(before Xmas) , with no acknowlegement.
These guys may ACTUALLY do fine work,I really don't know. That's the problem.
Tread carefully my friends,tread carefully!!!!
On a lighter topic, I do look forward to posting some pics and details of builds in the next little while.

$1600 for a rendering?? Holy crap bat man!!!

[absintheisfun]

damn! I got two renderings from Mascoll, and while the price may not be at the forefront of my mind, It was about 1/2 of that! Shawn worked with me via email, and the renderings were done within a few weeks. After the final design was shown I realized that there was a piece missing from the final pic and he put it together really quickly and mailed me a DVD with the master files a couple of weeks later.

Sorry you got burned, but until I have reason not to, I still plan on using Mascoll Designs for my next build.

[wellis77]

Shawn is stand-up by me too! I am already thinking about my next project and he'll certainly get the nod.

I have been working with Shawn over the last month or so and I am pleased with the progress

-Thanks for the plug John!
-Simon, I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience and I hope this hasn't soured you (or anyone else) to using a designer in the future. I hope Shawn can jump in here and shed some light on the situation. Maybe there's just a miscommunication somewhere, I don't know.

Because this service is relatively new to the industry it's always tough to hear that someone's first (?) experience using an artist or a designer didn't go well. It can cast a bad light on the market in general. I don't know Shawn but he does great work from what I've seen. Good luck with your project Simon.

Honest feedback here - Sean does do great work. I would've rather talked to him through the process instead of email, it took a little longer than I expected and we only got about 95% of the way to my vision, but you can't argue w what he lays down:
