Attention Chris Howes

[uscmhicks]

WE ARE ALL FRIENDS. Never change that!

You probably wouldnt get it because you are not a commissioned artist? I agree that it takes a bit extra to keep your customers in the loop and i for one think giving updates and such are important when doing business. I know i appreciate them. But for some of the comments to be made on this thread seem a bit rediculous to me.

I wonder if people who were complaining about Andgor right before they screwed people over were called ridiculous? What about when Twinch screwed all their customers over, were their upset customers labeled ridiculous?

Thing is, there are plenty of examples of businesses/customizers who flake out and make off with the money. There are also examples of businesses/customizers who stumble temporarily and then come back to the good graces of the community by apologizing and turning out the work they promised.

As of right now, we are waiting on Chris to either continue to flake out or get back in the good graces of the community by turning out the work. He has promised that the latter is coming very soon, and I am willing to give him a fifth chance to deliver. I am not ridiculous. Thanks.

WE ARE ALL FRIENDS. Never change that!

it's nice that you think that way, but being naive isn't going to change that fact that certain members here are *********s and scammers.

Lord that is hilarious.

why is that funny?

I agree, and when someone pays you and then asks for their money back because you haven't met your end of the transaction, you should at least be able to respond to those people.

Not responding doesn't make you look like a D-bag. It makes you a d-bag.

Now he's not a d-bag forever, thats not his title, hes not THE d-bag.

He can correct this behavior flaw rather simply, by actually giving the people who are giving him the money he uses to live day to day a simple response. Instead of acting as if he was infoulable and the customer is just garbage.

RELAX! Take a deep breath! Sent your Girl Friends or Boy Friends or your kids (hate to say this) away from your room tonight. Pick up your favorite figures and dust them off (my HT Batman's Cape has so much dust). Enjoy our figures too night. Cool down the heat and worry about things tomorrow.

Because there are *********s on both sides of the fence in this thread and I hardly think CHowes is trying to scam anyone... Save the "scammer" label for people who deserve it. Misguided perhaps... Chaotic likely. But a "scammer"?

I laughed because I felt your post was ironic... and to me irony =

 

[Fry]

I am relaxed. I'm having a beer and watching Batman Begins.
My post was not a dig at you nanjin, it's good that you still have faith in people. I'm far too cynical for my own good.

I also don't think he is scamming anyone, not intentionaly, although I can understand with a lack of communication how some feel this way.

In reality he is in over his head and has some explaining to do, which still has not happened even with his return, that in my mind is the real shady thing, why can't he put everyone at ease by just posting what he plans to do to get everything done. Instead of playing victim which looks more like in reality he doesn't have the answers or know how hes going to do it.

I never accused Chris of being a scammer or a *********. All I said was certain members are, I never mentioned names.
I agree that there is *********gery on both sides.
I was just trying to point out to nanjin that it's not a good idea to be 100% trustful of everyone on this board.
I'm certainly not trying to exacerbate the situation.

Be a man C Howes and give everyone back their money.

 

[Studio49]

No but you are boring me......

Wow. Now I know who not to use for paintwork in the future. Thanks for showing me what a prick you can be before I paid you for any work.

Aren't you in talks to become Chris's new painter for his head sculpts? I think maybe you have a conflict of interest in this thread.

Edit: Way to delete your post before people see your true colors.

Sounds like another Les Walker, just without the drama and excuses. I paid for the Summer Glau heads and for the painting of them as well. You know what this place needs are some rules for the customizers. Sure ask for feedback, but no selling or pre-selling until the products are ready to be shipped.

Not at all. Les has ALWAYS been forthcoming and honest about his delays AND his work is among the best you can get.

This thread is pure comedic gold.

Hmmmm, have they ever been seen together?

Chris has replied. He has stated that he is overloaded with personal work. He also stated he would be getting back to the work here as soon as he can and some projects will be shipping in the near future. Now would be the time to be fair and give him the same benefit of the doubt that other artists have received, even though they have had outstanding work hanging around for twice as long as Chris.

From reading thru the posts in this thread, those "promises" have been made in the past only to result in never coming and things like this thread being started.
Wouldn't it have been a good time to actually post an update of some kind? Not an update of words but some pix for the people waiting?
It might be interesting to note that the Howes "updates" and pix of the WIP Trek heads came out of nowhere only after I posted that the SFM heads would be available and then Spenser posting his Trek and Nanjin even had a photo or two of his Trek put in the thread. Coincidence? Possibly, just weird that after a long dry spell in that thread some Trek competition got something posted.
Personally, I have no money vested in him as I've never been impressed with anything of his that I've seen. I did have interest in several of his commissions, had, once they were done, borne a decent resemblence to the character in question.
And regarding the earlier post referencing Andgor and their customers. To the best of my knowledge (and I was among the involved with them) and according to the BBB in FLA Sam never fully delivered to ALL of his customers.
And, just out of curiosity, has anyone else ever posted their email address on this or any other forum? I know I have. Been doing it for years. Russian spammers to date - ZERO.
Maybe I'm just lucky.

Josh is a stand-up guy and cool in my book.

Here we go again. If he is so stand up and cool, why doesn't he act like it? I have stood up for several people in this thread, and I don't think I need some painter starting up with me.

No i dont beleive i was ever given the label as "Chris Howes New Painter" A conflict of interest..... your funny. I am a commission artist and have my own workload so i can sympothize with the man somewhat. Something you will never undertand im sure until you walk in those shoes...and with that note off to repaint more sculpt....not for you apparently

Who are you again?

I was doing freelance graphic arts work when you were still in diapers. Try again.

 

[Spenser]

What the heck? I logged on to make some updates

Then why didn't you?

 

[Studio49]

I think there is something in the fumes of clay and paint that make people crazy. Spenser, get out while you can!
