Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey guys, thanks for all of the ideas and the help... God knows I need it. Here is the deal. I will 100% get the items back to whoever wants them. Right now I am compiling items for a sale, including my Proton pack (which if it sells will pay for everything refund and shipping wise).

For any full figures I will refund my commission fee, send back the parts with a casted head. So that the person who commissioned it can build it themselves or have it done by another artist (at least the head). The refund will have to be minus the parts, at least some of them... so that I am not losing out on both ends. I won't take full price for the parts, as a discount is the least I can do for the long time waited.

Microjow, you are right... the jacket is done, the head painted and haired, just needs dremeled and the eyes to be done. The shirt, and all the gear is ready.. just needs final weathering. And the blade is done and ready. The masks need to be cast, but I can send you those and the strap materials.

The Ash figures all have their gear ready to go as well. So all that want them can get them. They will just need to be painted and assembled. I will even send the strap materials and the buckles. It's all ready, just needs to be assembled.

But to remedy my situation and to clear the slate, I am more than willing to pay people back. I am making a list for my sale and will list that within the day, so that will help pay for this whole mess.

Again, I just want to apologize from the bottom of my heart to all of you guys... friends, people who commissioned items, even just the guys who come in here with recommendations. And Sean, thanks for moderating for me... I definitely don't have the time to do that, and it also represents a conflict of interest in this situation... so it's nice to have someone else taking care of that. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

You guys have my solemn vow that I will never offer my services again, I will never do this EVER again... I'm really done. I'm not pretending, so that I can restart again somewhere else or on Ebay. I'm really done. I learned my lesson and it was a hard one. I have the gray hairs to prove it. :lol

As for listings, feel free... whatever will help. I honestly don't care anymore... There is no reputation to salvage, and I never really cared about that anyway. All that I care about now is making this right and ending this travesty ASAP.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

traversty schmaversty. you're still alive, you even have a laughing emoticon in your last post. that's good enough for me :D

as for my repaints - i'll let you decide, josh. if you want to finish that's cool with me. if you want to lighten the load and send them back (no refund required) you can do that too. whatever brings you a little bit of peace this christmas.

ps. i like the hand grenade, but the sig still makes me a sad panda :(
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

:lol Thanks a lot man... I'll make a decision on that ASAP for you, see what we have left and where it all is. You've always been a solid customer to me, and I appreciate your friendship as well... You've been more than patient with me over this long haul... that means a lot bro.

I hope you have a great Christmas too.

And yeah, my mood has improved a bit. I got a call from Les that gave me my spine back... :lol
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks for the update Josh, put me in the "whatever is easiest for you" category as well. :wave
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks for the update, Sir! Feel free to pack everything into a box - parts for Remake Jason, cast mask & straps, etc... and when it's ready to go, let me know and I'll Paypal some shipping $.

And just so you know, there are absolutely no hard feelings about any of this from me. I'm glad your mood has improved and hope it only gets better from here on out!

- J

good old les. he's like a white james earl jones - very wise and persuasive.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey Josh, but for those of you who want to have the work finished, you'll still do that right? What do you have to do with Jack Torrence?

:lol So true, so true. :lol

Hey Josh, I think all that you have of mine is the Gladiator statue. I can understand if that is a project you don't want to take on, so if it's better for you, you can just send what's done...or not done. :lol
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

josh, the canvas work you'll be doing... will you be putting that up on your website? i really hope so. i'll be very interested to see how the darkartist imagination and emotion translates to 2D. should be amazing. please, even if you're adamant you'll stop posting here altogether, let me know by email once in a while how that's all going, and where i can see your work.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

i hope that you can finish my stuff as well. sure the wait has been long, but there are a couple pieces i sent you that i really only want to be completed by you. i'd still like these to be completed unless you absolutely don't want to pick up a paint brush again ever. please let me know buddy.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Heya Josh,
I think all of my stuff is mostly done... at least what I saw in person (Deckard, Andy B Bale and Ripley). The Rorschach I took over from LOTRFan looked nearly done in the pics, so I'm hoping that can be in the completed camp. The only thing I'm not sure on is the Myers figure. So if possible I'd like to get them completed; since just having eyes done, or minor tweaks might be complicated.

If the Myers isn't as far along then just do what needs to be done, either send it along or finish (whatever's easier). Not worried about getting back the commission fee... I think your prices were too low to begin with :lol

And remember to send me your paypal so I can send along a bit to cover the shipping :duff
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I guess I'll put mine in here too then... The lone items you have from me are the Indy PF heads and the maximus statue.

As I recall you started on the PF heads, but I'm not sure how far along you are with them. Honestly if they are not that far off or you don't mind I would really prefer if you finish them up. I don't know who else to go through to finish it and then I'd have to work out a price with that person as well.

As for the maximus statue as discussed previously I would like for you to just ship it back as I plan on selling him. If there's anything else let me know on here or FB.

I hope for your sake you don't have to sell the proton pack to make up for the situation. I'm sure it will be bittersweet in a way, but at the same time no one likes to give up something that they cherish. I hope everything works out and after some time away from the brush if you ever want any "bigger" projects let me know :monkey3
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Josh,

Let me know - PM , e-mail whatever works if you want me to shoot you across some more cash for shipping the two LOTR figs across to me.

M!


PS - Nice to see a lighter tone in your last post. Chin up J-Dawg!
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey Josh,
I ordered a Deckard head from you earlier this year. I'm really sorry about the stress the whole situation has caused you. I'm just trying to clarify what the current status is for people with orders. Are you closing shop and only offering refunds at this point or are you still going to try to finish the outstanding orders? I'm willing to wait however long it would take you to finish the Deckard head, but obviously if you're too burnt out with everything and shutting down indefinitely I'll take a refund.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Josh, I'll take a refund for my Ash or if you can't do that maybe you can swap one of your figures that you are going to sell for it and we will call it a day. Sounds good?
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

hey Josh

You know my stance on the Lee Batman statue...of course I would like you to finish it but if it's too much just let me know and you can send it back as is, no refund needed. Shoot me a PM, let me know and I have no problem helping out with the shipping. Glad to hear your feeling better. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Rock on! :rock
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I know at least one of my heads I am having painted is finished ( the terminator ) but if the rest is to much trouble just send it over Josh. Its not a problem. I would prefer to have them finished by you though , ecspecially since you might be done with this forever !.
Keep up the good work :duff
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Josh, I just finish reading a few of your last posts tryin to keep up with the situation. So are you asking us to post here on the thread any outstanding orders and what we will like to happen??? Just want to make sure before I submit my post.

Thanks
