I'm not impressed at all considering that I placed this order with him in April 2008. Now almost a year later, countless emails asking when it will be shipped and 3 months after I fully paid I have nothing to show for it but a small JPEG image. 
[/ QUOTE ]Not to belittle your situation, it does suck. But I put in an order in 2006 that is still not even finished! And I happen to know another person who had several pieces paid in full from about 6 months before me and still only has ever gotten 1 completed. It's quite disheartening.

It' surprises me someone bought art from MMOART.COM recently, especially January of this year. What are you crazy?
Do not order art from MMOART.COM, they are unprofessional they do not keep in contact with their customers. This has been going on for the past 4 years. They take a extremely long time to ship their products.
All I did was order a mmoart.com T-Shirt, a freaking $15.00 T-Shirt and it took them 6 months before they even sent it out.
I've ordered art from many other people that used to or still frequent this forum and got that art in decent time and with constant email contact. Even if they weren't the artist that Gill is, they treated their customers properly. Those artist deserve the business. Artist like Foo, Aerones, DrunkFu, Juggertha, baquitania, BAS and many more deserve the recognition, business or both. Instead of someone who treats their customers like crap.
Coincidentally I now wipe my [censored] with that T-Shirt 
I hope this post helps future art collectors.
EDIT: I didn't link Foo because just like Hickman he's self promoting. 
... at least you received your t-shirt. I got a receipt for payment for the order. I tried wearing it, didn't work at all.
Don't get me wrong, I love Jomaro's work. But as has been said, his business savvy is... well, abysmal. I really think he needs to hire on with an established business (guildhelper, perhaps?) or at the very LEAST hook up with other artists and find out how they manage things business wise. I'm a big fan of Russ Platt and Ebony-Chan and Brandon McKinney, because they CARE about keeping their customers in the loop. If there are problems, they tell you. They send you roughs, pencils, inks, and ask if you'd like changes. Then they deliver.
If Jomaro and Nakeisha were to seriously adopt their business models and STICK TO THEM, MMOART would be a rockin' business. But right now... no.

I didn't buy from them in January. I placed the order I'm complaining about in April 2008. It was December 29, 2008, when I received a digital copy of it and the first week of January 2009, when I sent my final payment just to clear things up.
I placed 2 other orders with Jomaro about 2 years ago and didn't really have a problem with them. Back then shortly after I made my final payment it was within a couple weeks IIRC that I received them by mail.
This time I have a big problem with them.

My piece was posted just before those ones so it was finished before.
I'm not sure why they would ship his and not mine or at least reply to my emails. It's weird...
I could see them not shipping it if they think I didn't pay. (which I did, I have a receipt from Paypal) At least if it was a misunderstanding like that I would understand but to not get a reply to any of my emails asking when it will be shipped is disturbing.

Just to clarify. I didn't ask for a physical copy as I'm in New Zealand. Sending stuff around the world like that costs a little extra. I tend to get a digital version emailed to me as standard.
Sorry for any confusion.

I waited a couple of years for my Comrade Hero and Graviton Girl piece, but I realize not everyone is that patient.
Still waiting for two out of pieces from Ryan Stegman, but considering he got picked up by Marvel and is working on Hulk (and has done Grimm Fairy Tales) I'm going to wait patiently (and expectantly) for those as well.

Have you received your art yet? I know Gill posted those pieces right after doing mine.

Yes I did receive them over a month or so ago, but given my njuries and rehabilitation since last year, posting art hasn't been high on my priorities unfortunately.
