DarkArtist's End of the Line Thread

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Josh, you're one of the most stand up guys on this board, I'm sorry to see life take another rough turn, but you're a man of strong character and I know you'll bounce back from this. Just pour yourself into your work, keep making serial killer figures to vent your frustrations , and remember the wisdom of our beloved friend Rocky Balboa, it ain't about how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward, that's how winning is done, and you sir are an A Class winner

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Good luck DA, sorry to hear about the job.

But it really sounds like you are beginning to understand how much money you can make on ebay with your customs. You truly are an artist and there are LOTS of half-assed guys on ebay making customs and getting WAY too much money for them.

Do the 'bay. It sucks, but you'll make plenty of cash. Just don't get too big of a head and start passing the prices on to us.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks guys.... Yeah, my Wife is actually being very cool about it. She knows things are picking up with my various projects and school starting soon anyway.. so it's all good. But now I really have to pump out some stuff to get money flowing in.

so EBAY here I come.

Sorry to hear about the troubles. I'll keep you and your wife in my prayers but on the bright side at least she's there to go through the hard times with you and from my experiences that is comforting.

by the way did you ever get my last pm?

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

josh, everything happens for a reason dude. my answers came in my darkest, lowest hours. and for someone like you, a far better person than i, the great cosmic buddha-jesus-kungfu-snickers-eating-jehovah-crom in the sky is not going to let you suffer for long. as yazz once said, "the only way is up". the pack of candy was a sign. i feel big things happening for you, bro. i really do. this work of yours, it's something else. its way up there with the best customs, way better than most of the manufactured stuff. and that's only going on pics (i don't have any of your work yet but i will soon).

you're one of the reasons i hang out at this board in the first place. so keep strong. despite all these tests, you're still the same cool guy as ever. and that counts for a lot in my book. no general manager butthole could take that from you.

big things, buddy. big things.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Well, today was interesting. Reminds me of "The Killing Joke", where the Joker is trying to prove to Batman that anyone can go insane from just one very bad day. Today was one of those days...

I'm the only person who can earn Employee of the Month and get let go on the same day.

Dude I am so sorry to hear about this again in your world.

We will do our best to support you via our addiction

So guys, keep Josh on top and let's order lots of stuff !

My life sucks at the minute too. Fridge broke , jason pf smashed , been having some big arguments. Seems alot of people on this board and down the dumps at the minute.
I know how you feel man. Hey finding that $75.00 wasn't too bad though !.
I hope the wife isn't being too hard on ya. It wasn't your fault at all .

Yeah it must be a bug going around. Life is definietely on a downslide around... Especially on the financial side.

I will be able to score extra scratch by putting a Myers or Roy on Ebay to get by. My Xander just netted me a clean $160 bucks... not bad. My last Myers sold on Ebay for $200. And that one wasn't as great. So I'm hoping that I can make some good cash. I only made $300 every two weeks working there anyway. Selling two figures in one fell swoop covers that easily.

Now that is cool ! Congrats. Let's hope it keeps up !

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Damn bud, sorry to hear about this. You did the right thing though, education takes priority! Keep selling your pieces on eBay and things will work out. Heck, you know I am a loyal customer!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

is the new body on the jason part two rare ?.
I could really do with some like that. It gives a fantastic look.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Sorry about that Josh. I thought you had a good thing going for a while there.
Looks like I do need to call you sometime soon, so we can trade tales of woe.
Hang in there. Stay in school too! No matter what!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Man, DA... your boss sounds like an ass. That's really pretty jacked-up that he would fire you because you are going to school! Bad for them is they lost a responsible person... good for you that you don't have to sweep up crap anymore

Were you able to get student loans yet to help with you living expenses? Also, when you are at school look for student employment on campus. I've had some seriously cake jobs when I was an undergraduate. Once working at an Art Gallery, the 2nd as housekeeping for the Student Center. The second job I would average 15mins of work/2 hour period and that was expected by the higher-ups... Id either bull^^^^ with people or do homework and get paid, even made supervisor

And glad to help out with my Myers and Roy purchases

My Xander just netted me a clean $160 bucks...

I knew that one would fetch some coin!

As for your job: work is for suckers. You need to go into this figure business full time. I don't know the legalities of working on licensed characters or whatnot, but there's gotta be some way to make it work.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

p!tu has got to know some slimy Puerto Ricans that can burn that weak ass theater to the ground! Shoot him a PM Josh, make it so!!!

If you would rather them not burn it to the ground, I am sure he can get a couple dudes to ass rape your old boss.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

You guys are awesome!

I think last night was a bit of a sign as well. I was above that job, they were lucky to have ME... not the other way around. And I think the candy, the beer, the money... it was all just a way for me to know that things will get better from here.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

A guy with your kind of talent has bigger things in store. At least you went out in Kurgan style, employee of the month and walked.

It's better to burn out than to fade away!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Now call yourself a freelance artist.

If you got employee of the month first month which was meant to be a rarity you were way to good for the job. And you walked out with your chin held high, respect.

You know this bro. Keep at it.... And when shows are around... have your portfolio ready.

Sideshow was looking at portfolios at Wizard World. You just never know.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

A different body altogether. I used an old Majestic Apollo figure body because I liked the bare arms... they match well with the Part 3 figure. He's a bit thin though, I might have to bulk him up.

I have a spare SS Big Boy Body if you want it? You could swap out the arms under the elbow you keep those bare arms, which look great btw. PM me if you are interested...
