Wait a second... I have both of those things! :laugh2:

I didn't think the angled thing would work (how do you keep it steady) but I'm going to give it a second look. Thanks.

Thanks! I think it is mainly the resources since I lean on so many people when I build a cab (and I also don't really care about the money since it's all part of the hobby). The eye and skill is really just patience. I try and think about things from all angles before actually committing which is why it takes so long but it helps me get to where I want to be (usually). Summer baseball potentially ends tonight so I'll have a lot more time to work on this thing if we lose.

:cheers:

An artist I found over at DeviantArt is helping me out. They have forums where you can ask for a commission. People respond with examples of their work (and prices) and you can pick the one you like the best. I liked someone named "Rusembell" - his/her art style is great and the prices are fair (IMO - not sure the effort involved but I'm happy paying for quality work). Also, his/her communication has been great so far. I paid 1/2 up front which is a bit of a risk and I'll pay the other 1/2 once we have a final drawing without color.

That's pretty standard for most artists. I was requesting a 1/2 downpayment when I was doing art commissions for people, especially rando's that I didn't know from the forum. It's a mutual risk... I've been burnt before where I'd spend a lot of time and effort on their art, but then they'd go MIA by the time it was done. Putting money down solidifies your commitment to the final delivery.

I checked out Rusembell's stuff. Looks good. Looking forward to seeing what he/she does for you.
