DarkArtist's End of the Line Thread

[BottleRocket]

If you need proof of the quality of people on this forum then look no further than Khev and IrishJedi.

To think that after all that has been said and not done, the only thing these 2 selfless guys are concerned with is to help you improve your families quality of life. I truly hope you make the attempt to take them up on their offers. People like these 2 gentlemen are (unfortunately) few and far between in this world.

I just think it would be such a shame for you to leave after you do everything it takes to dig yourself out of this crater. The only people who leave are the ones who take the money and run. It sounds as though you are willing to do whatever it takes to make this right and whether you believe it or not, you and your talent will be missed.

That's my opinion anyhow...

hey josh

I know your in FL. but if you ever move to NY hit me up. I am a production manager for an advertising department at a big electronics/appliance retailer. We are always looking for good people. Not sure if you have an Indesign/Photoshop/Illustrator background but we are growing. Also there are alot of openings in sales, warehouse etc. Good stable company bro...if you ever come up NY let me know. Would be more than happy to get you atleast in for an interview if you need. Best of luck bro and let me know what you plan on doing with the batman Lee statue. If would also be a shame if you left this forum man. You helped make it what it is today bro.

 

[The Josh]

Josh,

Let me know if it might be possible to send my stuff to Les if I talk with him about getting it finished. I obviously lack any talent for this and can't do it myself so I need someone with skills to finish the job. Keep truckin on the job front. Its not easy looking I know that since I just got cut from my teaching job for next year cause of budget issues.

 

[devilof76]

Josh, I'm glad to hear you've finally come to a decision on what you need to do to save yourself from this. It would have been great if you could have finished the work, but if you can't, I would prefer that you keep your sanity. I can always get someone else to finish the work, and I have no problem waiting to have her sent back when you can afford to.

Take care Josh. I hope you decide to stay, but if you don't, I wish you and Therese all the best.

 

[Sined]

So what's about those two 2009 Jasons that was 90% finished for more than a year already?
Are they finally made it?

Hi Josh, any update on the SIM, it's been 2 weeks. LMK

Thanks

Thanks for the responses, I will get to all of you in due time I promise. Micro, I have the box with the stuff I just wanted to cast you a mask so that you wouldn't have to worry about the mold. But that will be taken care of in 2 weeks and the package will at long last be sent.

Ryan, the IM is ready and will ship out in 2 weeks also.

And you all have a right to be upset, I know I screwed up royally this time. Wofford is right that I shouldn't take shipping money. Money is so damn tight right now that it would only end up going towards gas or something like that as well as shipping and I could not in good conscience do that to anyone. I will ship out of my own pocket, it really is the least I can do. I don't want to owe anyone anything else, I owe enough.

And I am dead serious about leaving the site. I will probably delete my account altogether. I just don't like the way things have changed here, nor do I want to become a walking example of what NOT to be. My friends will be able to talk to me elsewhere and I can get my collectible news from around the net. This site doesn't need me anymore and I don't honestly need it. My life is quite rich enough, and I have responsibilities to tend to that are far more important than toys.

I thank you all for your long held support, the mods for doing all that they did here in my thread this past year (even though it cost me my Mod title and hours of their time), and I even thank my louder customers for not putting a hit out on me or coming to my house with baseball bats.

I'm not perfect, I will never claim to be a good businessman. I was just an artist who got in over his head and was too stupid to realize just how deep he had allowed himself to slip. I take full responsibility and will take it on the chin as I should have months ago.

Josh,

I'd be honored Josh.

As for taking on more, it will be tricky until I get more caught up myself, but I would. For a select few things, that I think I might can finish. I am doing that with DrJediSith, and for one or two others I might also. Just contact Josh and let him know, and if I can, will try.
Just an offer. Just know, I do have a lot on my plate already.
Still, anything I can do to help.

Ok guys, back again. I have some updates. Sined.. I know it sucks but those figures are still in the same state they have been in for months. I don't like it either, but my few moments I have been able to wring some paint work out of.. I've put them towards Dront's Reese. I am going to work yours next.

As for Josh, that is perfectly fine with me as long as it is ok with Les. Also, I hate that you got let go for next year.. that sucks to hear man. I really hope things pick up for you, you are too good a guy to have to suffer through anything.

And Khev and Carl... dudes, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was very cool of you guys to offer. If I could move, I would take one of you up on a job offer.. you can be sure of that.

So, here is what I came here to say. I'm going to be checking in here monthly, with a list of people who are going to be recieving their stuff back. It's the best way for me to do it, and in the coming weeks it will be going from oldest to newest. For now, here is the list...

The Craw
Dront (Reese will be done this week)
RyanGabriel (pics coming this week as well)
Galactiboy and KingDarkness
Seb
Richalot

It's all I can afford to mail at the moment, Summer tuition costs have pretty much wiped me out. Again, I'm sorry about everything and I will do my best to make it right to you guys in the future somehow.

Stay strong bro, for me you will still be someone important for me.
It's because of you that im' here.
It's because of your art that inspired me and teach me to build my own figure.

SO i owe you big time brother!

 

[galactiboy]

Chip away at this ____ one step at a time bro

 

[LOTRFan]

Thanks Josh for checking in, hopefully I'm in the second batch.

 

[Indiana Fett]

Thanks for checking in Josh, and thanks for letting us know you'll check in about once a month.

Hoping my Anakin PF heads will fall into the next batch since I don't see my name there. You got a wicked start on them back in February so I'm stoked to get 'em! Again, send me a PM when they're ready and I'll shoot you some extra $$$.

 

[Reinhardt]

Great to hear from you Josh! Great update.

And I agree with Elvis, you have been a huge inspiration to me as well (unlike Seb I have nothing to show for it though, but that's another story)

 

[eighthsamurai]

thanks for the update josh. good to see you checking in. it'll be good to see those heads again and it sounds before a 3rd anniversary. keep on keepin' on.

 

[RJMacReady16]

I just checked out KGB.com and Dront has officially called-off your hit, Josh.

Congrats.

I would be honored if you could do it.

Cool! I'll send you and Les a PM and we can figure it out. Yeah, it sucks but thats the state of things around this area teaching wise. I'll overcome it. Got no choice really. Thank you for the kind words too by the way.
