I think this piece is getting a lot of stick from photos taken at the con. and comparing them to the 3d render.
I actually looked at the piece at the con and it is one of the few I am actually going to PO. I really love how it came out.
I have been receiving messages over the last week to say this artist is going around telling everyone he is not happy with the route XM took after he submitted his work. Also telling people he does not want his name attached to this project.
The artist has come along way. His Lobo for P1 and this is really a huge step from the custom Deadpool on Throne he sculpted 3-4 years back and it is great to see this progress.
What people need to understand is that yes an artist may sculpt something one way, but it is then up to the company to assess what they can deliver in the next stages of production.
If you are employed to make a sculpt for a company once you are paid it belongs to them to adjust how they see fit.
It could be that the licensors did not approve certain elements, the engineering is a factor, or the company has experience in what the factory can and can not deliver.
Sorry to say it, but no point sulking about it and potentially burning bridges. Man up it happens. Speak to any of the big names in the hobby it is all part of the job.
I think running to every collector who will listen just shows your lack of years in the industry and bad character.
It is a shame as he is putting out some fantastic work and this piece I class as one of them and I would love to have seen him deliver more pieces in this line.

Romell Chopraa I have jumped for constant reasons. And I have full right to state my point here. Well first thing is that I never forced or stopped anyone to buy this piece. And this is the end of discussion. I am not hiding in cave for such crap reasons. It's not me only who was excited about the reveal. It's whole mob. And xm knows that too. I had straight personal opinions on this outcome . Even discussed with xm team as well. And that's not only me who was discussing. Lot of other friends and collectors too. Pointing some points and stopping people to go for it is completely diff thing . And I am still holding my freedom to share my thoughts . That piece had my soul. And one should respect that. If people can relate this with being an amazing piece produced then I could have shared on public too. Did I do that ? No because I respect the matter of personal choices and confidentiality. Well don't teach me the professionalism because many people will ask Same from you as well. I just look forward to see the final pics as I stated to many friends. It's my liking and I own that.
