MMO ART?

Poison is still around , still does art and still actively plays on Virtue , you can find him on his namesake at odd hours .

I think Virtue may well have the highest concentration of hobbiest artists and professionals .

Whether or not you'd like to defend him as a friend of the community, friends don't bail out on thousands of dollars of commissions without so much as a word.

If he's in serious health condition, someone near him can just as well make an effort to tell people about it and pass along information. The last I heard he was getting better every day and happy to take more commissions - even though he'd never finished many more.

I will reiterate: that is unprofessional and just because people might find his art great or his outward personality nice? It doesn't mean that they shouldn't take this to court. It IS theft, it's breaking a legal contract, and if he can't at least say "I'll pay you back" or "I'll finish the commissions in the order they were received" - he's stolen their money plain and simple. One token effort at asking if people want their money back - and to my knowledge (which is limited I will admit) no one got either a piece OR their money - correct me if I'm wrong - is not enough to prove he's worth keeping around as a professional contact.

Real professionals don't pull stunts like this, and yes, it's a stunt. Everyone knows that TA collects art, his collection is *epic*. Would you really think you'd want to be the person who is stuck with the title of "paid but never finished" on that collection?

Doesn't matter if it was a 50 dollar sketch or a 500$ piece, it's a contract to finish, and they really do have a right to ask for payment back or their products as promised in a timley fashion.

Hell if I were Gill I'd turn the money over to other artists and get THEM to honor the contracts if anything. Just to have the pieces done.

Ehhh as much as I enjoy Dramah , this is rapidly becoming a lynching complete with lynchmob and folks bringing their kids out solely for the festivities .

There is a point where we just move on,I think we hit it a good several posts ago .(By move on I mean move on from bashing him on the forums , by all means continue to try contacting him I hope it all works out )

I don't disagree that things have likely gone south and been handled poorly for whatever reason buuut this is my normal area
for rest and relaxation and we already know Gil can't post to the forums due to him being unsubscribed to CoH .

so other then folks grousing is there something we are shooting for here ?

I mean if this thread is simply about complaining and naming names at that , I can launch into several tirades solely to start internet blood fueds and forum jihads :P

Should I expect a thread every time a commisoner or artist drops the ball as thats gonna get old fast .

ooooh also pot calling kettle black award for me as I start my fair share of grousing threads

The only reason MMO Art is getting bashed here so badly is due to the extreme number of unhappy customers that feel ripped off.

Eh considering that no one is supposed to be using the CoH forums for comissioning purposes im not sure I see the need to use them to bash people whom you have comissioned .
