Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

bottom line... If he wants good work he waits for it...like we all do. Josh is the man and he will deliver. I can't believe this crap is in this thread.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Let's all try to calm down, the very stuff people are saying let's not bring into Josh's thread is being perceived and pointed out more by the ones looking to defend him than the actual comment that started all this. Sined is upset and looking for answers, but not making any Howes-esque accussations and I understand people coming to Josh's rescue, but what might, and likely would, have been a single post has blown up into a mess.

Josh is a great guy and a talented artists, as soon as life permits he'll get back here and deal with things.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

It's a shame to see quite a few artists here having crisis and not able to deliver goods on time...
It's like a "Duke Nukem Forever Syndrome" where Take-Two couldnt take the waits no more and sued 3DRealms... :(

:lol
Thanks for that Xeno.
I am sure I can speak for Josh, as I too suffer from "Duke Nukem Forever Syndrome" sometimes too. He is one of THE BEST people I have ever met. Hands down. I have actually shared a brew (or two) with the Dark one, and can attest, he is a first class man.
And he will deliver.

Keep 'em runnin', Maulfan! :rock
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Man ever since Howes viral infection... the bug just passes around to each other. Really need to end this... Yes Josh will deliver ... hope everyone will be back in good shape!

He is in fact a top-notch guy with amazing talents, I was able to appreciate his work first hand two years ago at Con. However, someone who might not stay current in this thread/etc could be frustrated with Josh's response time; that is something I have noticed is lacking. I understand why that is, but then again, I am pretty active in reading the current goings on.

Just trying to see both sides. :peace

I don't however follow the other custom artists or threads much, so perhaps Freaks are understandably angry for Josh being equated to another member. Not only that but in the case of Sinead, I am assuming there is a language barrier of sorts, that might be making things a bit more difficult.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I hate to even chime in...but I'm shocked at how many people are jumping Sined's a#$ over this one.

I guess I don't really mind waiting, have been for a while and will continue to do so without kicking and screaming....but the first time I commissioned a piece on here and the artist couldn't even get it done within 6 or 7 months after the proposed "finish date" it kinda shocked, and yeah, annoyed me.

I have no doubts they're all great dudes, and that Howes was an exception to the rule...but it probably comes as a serious shock to some people. After all, life sucks for everybody, and the breaks never come easy....artists and consumers alike.

Granted, once I finally got one of Josh's figures in-hand I realized I would of waited 12 more months because it's truly something to see...and out of all the pieces that have come and gone in my collection, his figure is still there----but that doesn't mean everyone's going to feel the same as me, nor would I expect them to.

Sined's entitled to his opinion though, even to his aggravation, and the solution is simple: the artists could probably start setting more realistic goals in the future, but that's probably been discussed without end already.

Just my two cents. In the meantime, I'll go back to politely waiting for Ash....*(lurks back into the shadows)
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I love how we elevate these artists to rockstar status though. Its retarded to think these people are the only ones with problems. Sined isn't on here complaining that his life is ^^^^ty and neither should these artists. They come on here with their dime a dozen sob stories and think it makes them special. Us putting up with that ^^^^ is why they get away with it. Stop treating these guys like they save lives, they paint up ^^^^ing action figures, some of you treat them like their Andy Warhol. Get a grip. And I'm sorry its not a jab at you artists, you are talented as hell and I love you guys and working with you guys but some of you seem to think that your problems mean your obligations to others stop. Get your heads out of your asses guys. You enter a verbal contract with someone, honor it, your big boys, and for god's sake learn your limits.

I can agree with the points made in some of these posts. But oh snap!!
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Like I said before, if they agreed a deadline, and after that he said it would only be a week or so, I can understand his aggression, no, I think he actually is very much in his right to be pissed.. Oh well, just calm down yáll is all I want to say

I wouldn't say it's treating him like a "rockstar" so much as a ^^^^ing human being, bub. ^^^^ happens to people and being understanding and patient here is what's best. It's the selfish, mindless dribble of expecting the impossible, "Hey, I know your wife has health issues, but my ^^^^ing custom's more important than your life, so ^^^^ her and get my ^^^^ done...NOW!" that really degrades a thread into a flame war.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I think one of the main reasons people are standing up for thier "rock star" :D is because of how good a person Josh really is. You see thats where the difference lies. Josh is a very geniune person with genuine intentions. The same respects go out to Les too. Thats all.

Sadly, some people cannot see the forest for the trees. :(

True, but Josh has always delivered. Can't imagine how Sined would be ^^^^^ing if he had ordered from howes. :rolleyes:
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Let's all just move on shall we.

Bottom line, in transactions there are bound to be differing opinions on how things are going down.

Agree or not with how Sined posted, had it not been reacted to and left be simply as a message to Josh and business moved along in here, the last half dozen pages wouldn't exist or would certainly contain a far better tone.

Josh knows who and that people have his back and support him, it's ultimately better to not go to bat for him here because in the end, he's going to come back here and see people fighting over him and I know Josh is going to feel really bad about that, I know he feels bad enough being behind for people, the last thing he wants is to be a source for fighting at this site, so let's just leave it be, move along as though the last day or so hasn't happened and get back on track.

Same goes for Sined.

But thats not what anyones doing, all somoens doing is asking for a date he can expect a finished product. Its a simple response.

1 month,

6 months.

It doesnt take long to write it. IMO its simple. Sined also worked and earned the money he payed. I ask you, what work has Josh done to earn that money he took from Sined? And I don't mean like he did someone eles's figure because that person payed for it too. Hes not doing a public service, hes getting payed. Take money from someone in real life, tell them you'll pay them back in 2 weeks, then dodge their calls and contact for 2 months and see if you can still walk. And again its not a jab at Josh in particular, its every artist who comes on here and thinks that way, which lately seems to be anyone whos fallen behind. All of this could have been avoided very easily by the artist himself so I have no sympathy for the situation.

Fair play to Deckard for calling it as it is. Josh is a stand up guy, Sined is rightfully asking the questions and gone public as a last resort. All you with this man love thing for Josh, should leave it be. Like Maul said, move on from this. This thread above all others is usually a good place to come. Don't ruin it

If Sined had just read back two measly pages, he would've gotten an update from the artist on why there's still a delay. So, IMO, there's no excuse for the hotheaded rant either. A politer post would've gone a hell of a lot further and would likely have been answered as previous posts have been.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Why is it when your wife gets pregnant all her friends rub her belly and say congratulations but nobody rubs your ^^^^ and says good job??

EDIT: I just used my 1500th post on that... :slap
