If I thought it'd do any good, I'd list mine FS hoping for a refund. An utter train wreck from start to finish. It actually got uncomfortable numerous times. Obviously we should all honor our commitment but I have no idea what I'll do with 4 prints. Regs and variants. The commish did everything in his power to salvage this project but the truth is the artist is impossible to work with and clearly not very talented. Word will spread fast if it hasn't already. We shouldn't be seeing anymore private commissions from this guy. I was hoping to avoid a bash session, fighting it off since the first was added to the database but no one should have to suffer through this and I'd be doing the good folk around here a disservice by not telling you what a nightmare this was.

You guys can choose to not print it though right?

There were grumblings of refund threats awhile back but the idea of the images being salvaged kept those demands in check. Now I just think it's a defeated feeling. It is for me anyways. I honestly don't even know who's been paid but we've all paid in full. I try to avoid the group updates. The most I've spent on a commission btw and I'm in a lot.

RambosRemodeler's being awfully tame. This is the kind of fudge he lives for.

Like $210 for good & evil regs and variants. 4 prints total. Somewhere around there. It's one of the first commissions I joined. Started awhile ago so the memory is fuzzy. I'm pretty sure at one point in time after an initial sketch I was excited about this project? Like I said... :wink:

TBH D my initial thought was wtf then I thought it looked like the cast of LOTR invaded the set of the sound of music. I can't imagine anyone is happy with this and the commissioner should have put a stop to this.

That's the thing. If no one is happy with it, why are you guys paying to have it printed? Just gather all the leftover money and refund everyone their share of the printing. At the very least you can cut your losses.

No one has really voiced displeasure in awhile, myself included. Once the artist was added to the group it got weird. Attacks started early but were put to an end quickly and after that it felt like coddling. Def awkward but I'm in so many good ones I chalked it up to an expected poor one awhile ago and moved on, personally.
