April 30, 2013 10:51 pm This series is great and this is a good issue as well. I've enjoyed this way more than the latest Superior Spider-man.
April 30, 2013 10:47 pm I've read it. I'm done. I can't keep reading anymore but at least I gave it a chance and that's the main thing. I'm interested into how they will eventually end all this but I'm not enjoying how this is going anymore.
November 7, 2011 1:05 pm I put this in the e-mail I have just sent. (I have omitted the artists details) "Hi ------- I'm incredibly sorry but I have sent e-mails to both yourself and ------ (I've even e-mailed ------- Facebook page) and I have still had no reply. I feel as I have been more than patient waiting for the response (between 2 and 3 weeks) and I have still heard nothing. I understand being so heavily tied into a major comic book company such as DC (ESPECIALLY at the moment) will take a lot of ----- time, however I have seen links that he has placed up on his facebook page for recent artwork that he has decided to put up on ebay as well as other peoples comments on commissions they have already received. The last message I got from you is directly below this e-mail, it says that the piece was almost finished and would be mailed out in that coming week. Well that was in June and I paid for the piece on the 6th of January this year. To wait over 11 months for a commissioned piece is a bit much in anyones eyes as if an artist is open for commissions that would normally mean a wait of 6 months maximum. I realize that as a professional artist ----- has to work to his paid schedule, however it could be argued that as I paid for my commission that should also be seen as paid work (I am also a realist and understand I'm not paying him the sort of money a professional publisher would offer, so therefor that will (and should due to family commitments) come first. It is food for thought though) Please understand that I am not angry at either yourself or -----, I would however like my money back as it is clear that ----- is extremely busy and the possibility of getting my piece of artwork this year not rushed and to the brilliant standard of -------'s usual work seems very unlikely. I do thank you for trying to get the work for me done back in June though and I wish nothing but the best for the rest of ---------s career (which I will happily still follow, buy books etc) All the very best to you and your family. Chris

November 5, 2011 6:28 am Man it's like we are talking about the same guy! I'm starting to get a bit like that now. Going to send an email on Tuesday if I haven't heard anything back by then
November 4, 2011 7:27 pm Lol he's too much of a nice guy generally. That's what makes it awkward, if he was a jerk then it would be really easy lol I also have loads of respect for all the cool work he's done
November 4, 2011 6:35 pm @timessoul god I wish I did that from the start, this particular creator though has surprised me by being quite bad with it. I got a Mario Chavez piece of artwork done and that cost £260 with P and P but he made me pay a small retainer then he showed me a rough sketch to see if I agreed with what he did. Once that was agreed upon he finished the piece off sent me an e-mail of the finished commission and I paid for the rest so he could send it me. To be fair it looks beautiful so I will have to send a pic to ifanboy for the weekly sketches. My wife had a Nicola Scott black canary picture which was beautiful, I have an Adi Granov Flash head sketch, Kevin Crossley Poison Ivy and many others and they got to me sharpish.
November 4, 2011 1:28 pm @bigyanks thanks mate. It's just very annoying after waiting for so long and not getting a reply and things like that. This artist is ALWAYS on Facebook as well. They are busy to be fair with the DC reboot but it's incredibley annoying when you see other people post how they have received their commission and then they put up a sketch they have been doing on eBay every other week. They seem cool as hell to be fair it's just annoying when trying to be respectful and patient. Thanks for the reply Josh, very good of you. To the rest of the ifanboy members, has this happened to you before?
