The creation process |
Hello and welcome to the commission works page. If you love my art and would like a one of a kind 45 degree consistent scale aerial view city for a home, office, building lobby, outdoors, etc, then lets get started. The best part of this type of artwork is that I get to work with the collector in part to create a wonderful piece of art. To build a city takes a lot of time and tedious precision detailed work. I work with large multi-gigabyte files that take a lot of computer power and rendering time. These works of art consist of thousands of layers of work. It took me years of work to create thousands of individual building structures you see in these paintings. This time and effort has to be added to the cost of producing any commission work. When designing a city, you need to have an idea of what you want. You need to ask yourself is it going to be a large or a super city. Do I add mountains, is the city so big it needs to have more than one airport or port facility, where do expressways go, what type of bridges and so on. It's a lot of work as you can see. Things like bridges, airports, expressways and mountains have to be custom made and is difficult work. Once you decide on the size of a city and the canvas size to place it on, you then have to cover the canvas with water and land areas. Then perhaps the most important thing of all is to layout the street grid so everything else in the city can connect together, between and throughout the grid . If you click on the link here you can see part of the process of how a city is built . Things are placed in order on a grid, not just thrown together. Buildings and all the structures that form a city block have to be placed in order one at a time. So as you can see, creating one of my paintings is no easy task. |
On average it takes 3 to 4 months to create the digital part of a painting. After the $5000 non refundable advance is paid, you can cancel work at anytime for any reason before the digital phase of the work is complete. Once the digital phase of the work is complete, I will send you the online address to view the work. If you like the online work, you then send the full remaining payment which 25 percent of it is non refundable for my time & production cost. If you decide you don't want the painting after you receive it, return commission work for your 75 percent refund . The advance $5000 starter fee is part of and will be subtracted from the 25 percent . To commission a work, (1) send an e-mail to haywardfineart@gmail.com.
