Halloweenized Classic Comic Cover recreations 3 3

[shiverbones]

OK, here we go! This one taught me that drawing buildings drives me nuts!

 

Of course, as always this looks much better in person and not squished down to 100dpi. It was fun to do, and am so glad to be ready to move along with these again.

oh, PS - I will make the "5" in the number box look better before I mail this

Looks wonderful Matt.

Hi Matt

 

How are things? Any new pieces in the works?

 

I paid my deposit in December 2011... did I get bypassed on the list?

 

I'll send you a pm

[HarveySwick]

[Bronty]

Nah I'm sure Matt will make it right. Only reason I am posting both here an in pm is because I know he's not on the boards much anymore

[Weird Paper]

Near as I can tell, I'm next up. Also left the deposit in Dec 2011, but have never been in a rush.

I don't think anyone has ever been "in a rush" but its coming up on 4 full years here, and he rarely posts here anymore and completes commissions less and less frequently as well. In the beginning he was plowing through them but these days its more like what, one every six months? I think that's because Matt's become a "real" artist with real deadlines, so I'm happy for him, but I don't think its improper to ask about status after this length of time, and I don't think asking questions means that one is "in a rush" or impatient. We're all aware of the unfortunate personal issues as well. Hope you are doing well Matt!

I do miss his posts. This was the best thread on the board.

As long as no money has changed hands, he gets as long as he needs. I've had several commissions done from Matt, and they all turned out perfectly.

 

I hope Matt gets settled in soon and can get back to doing what he loves (which I hope is doing more of these commissions )

I've purchased dozens of pieces from Matt and a bunch of commissions. He's always been right on with everything. Lately he's had his issues to work through I guess.

 

I paid for something months ago and haven't seen anything.

Scroll back a page or two. Seems like you're just replying to the last post without reading the rest of the thread.

I have read the whole thread as it has been posted. I just haven't memorized it. So, yes, I was just replying to the last post, hence the "quotes."

 

If money has changed hands (and I know he had a sales thread in the FOR SALE forum) then I hope he gets settled in sooner than later and settles up with everyone that has paid. No one is a bigger proponent for making artists fulfill their end of the commission agreement.

 

I've got an outstanding commission from a deadbeat (long before I got the NSN Escrow service set up. And I'm working on getting a new website set up to make it less cumbersome and more streamlined) going on 6 1/2 years now. I just messaged him on FB asking if 2015 was gonna be the year, since it is halfway over. His reply " I'm going through a divorce and a bunch of other mess right now...I'll get to it when I can. " I get it. And I won't ever pay an artist in advance ever again. Escrow or I can live without the art (since obviously without the escrow I am living without the art also)
