MMOART Presents...

Sweet! He mentioned my toon (Zal-El). Hopefully that means I'll be getting an early Christmas present for myself!

BTW, great work as usual Gil!

Just wondering if Gil's back up and running after the move?

Yup, as far as I now, he seems to be crankin' them out fairly regularly lately.

((not to mention the amazing quality))

I was starting to worry, myself but I tried to remind myself what life's like after a move.

Hectic

It's been over a month now with no news. Last bit of news was that they were moving and internet would be down for a bit.

I hope Gil's working dilligently as ever on clearing up his queue list and just hasn't had time to update his site, but even short absences now from him make me a bit jittery.

Any close friends of his know what's going on? Did the move go well?

*looks at his more optimistic post above*

I will admit, I'm worried now.

Heya, folks. I haven't talked to Gil in awhile, but I know what it's like to wait longer than anticipated for a piece of commissioned art. As far as I've heard though, Jomaro's never bailed on a customer who's paid already and I'm sure he's doing what he can. Some times though, life happens and well, alot of these transactions are bound by a contract...or really, worth going to court over. Sometimes, you might have to write off a commission as a loss. (I know that's not any comfort...but I do feel your pain as I still have stuff waiting from other artists as long as 18 months. And another artist passed away before my order was started. =/)

booooooooooooo

I predict two possibilities:

1. Gill will post up 6 new pieces in 6 days and wow us all.

or

2. We'll go through another month of not knowing what's going on until the next re-boot.



((I hope that it's #1, for all involved))

I don't mind waiting for a commission. Knew it was going to be a while when I put in for one.

When someone goes for a long time without an update you do tend to wonder if they are ok. Hope things are going alright for them, and we hear from them soon.

Hehe. Maybe three years of experience makes me a bit cynical. Personally, I don't pay anything more than $50 upfront anymore unless it's someone who's got an agent I can hold partially accountable or I was referred to the artist by someone I trust. Even then though, you may get burned. I hope it's #1 too. It's just that the best you can really do is email/call regularly until you get an answer. Speaking of which, I have to go pester someone. >.>

Just keep in mind that they just moved a month or so ago and the world is in an economic crisis...
