damn, that's cool.

Wow

So does the commission includes coloring?

Or is it digital coloring of a scan?

Either way it looks really awesome

James-
Did you get it?
And no, the coloring is just me doing a mock up.

no, there was a delivery issue and it'll be tomorrow before it gets here.

the driver decided i don't work at my office anymore...lol

it was marked as "incorrect address" and sent back to the fedex hub. when i called at 11:30 this morning to tell them "hey, i'm right here where the address says!" they said they would get the package back out to me asap.

cut to 4:30, still no package. so i called them again...seems no one told the driver that the address was correct and there's no way they can get it back out to me today.

so i'll have to wait until tomorrow to get it.

Sorry about that.
I will call them and demand a discount.
You WILL get it tomorrow.
Let me know if it's damaged.

i gave them an earful already...i have no doubts that it will be here tomorrow.

but i can kinda see it...i mean, how many packages do they ship in a day? so it's not like there's not already a precedent set for mistakes to occur...i just wanted them to know that i don't like it when i call them and tell them to deliver it and that message isn't passed on down.

they also had the address wrong...i don't know if that was their error or not...they had it going to 112 instead of 122...but either way, it'll be here tomorrow.

no biggie

Well... um.. I think i pooped.
The address is inside the package. I could have sworn it read 112.
Big poop i made.

don't sweat it...you've gone above and beyond on this one dude.

i still as giddy as a schoolgirl...lol

marvel1 · Post by **marvel1** » Wed May 11, 2005 5:17 pm

I am just trying to do what is right,you paid for something and you where patient.
I read a couple of posts where guys got BURNED on commissions, which is really disturbing.
I guess that's how pros really feel about their fans.
Oh,well.
Let me know when it comes thru.

That's "just a mock up"?

The whole thing, including coloring is plain wonderful! It's great you two are posting them scans here.

Yes sir,
It's just for me and anyone who wants to color it. A guide is a better
definition.
It also rounds out the piece, like seeing it in print first and saying "wow, that would look cool on my wall!".
Me am generous.

dude you are SO getting more of my money...lol

as for an update on the package...here's the newest development:

Tracking number : 851972853870
Ship date May 10, 2005

Date/Time: May 12, 2005:
1:03 AM, Arrived at FedEx location, INDIANAPOLIS, IN

Date/Time: May 11, 2005:
6:17 PM, At local FedEx facility, GREENVILLE, SC
11:07 AM , Delivery exception, GREENVILLE, SC, Incorrect address
9:23 AM, On FedEx vehicle for delivery, GREENVILLE, SC
7:45 AM, At local FedEx facility, GREENVILLE, SC
6:01 AM, At dest sort facility, GREER, SC
4:28 AM, Departed FedEx location, INDIANAPOLIS, IN
12:28 AM, Departed FedEx location, NEWARK, NJ

Date/Time: May 10, 2005:
10:00 PM, Arrived at FedEx location, NEWARK, NJ
6:05 PM, Picked up, NEW YORK, NY

so as you can see, the brain trust at fedex decided to ignore my <B>TWO</B> previous phone calls regarding the delevery address.

after speaking with a woman yesterday morning, i was told that the package would be re-delivered between 3 and 5pm that day. when i called at 4:45pm to check to see if that was still on, i was told that delivery that day would be unavailable and i could pick the package up at the hub until 7:30pm...BUT the driver was extremely backed up and probably wouldn't return to the hub until after 7pm.

so foolishly...i decided to let it ride and have it delivered today instead of risking driving all the way over to the hub only to have the driver return after i could pick the package up...i figured i'd avoid deathrow that way.

well, when i check the status this morning i see that my package is BACK IN INDIANA!

<grumble>

so, once again i call...not quite as polite this time as the last.

they're shipping it from indianapolis to greenville and it should be delivered between 3 and 5pm today.

if fedex pooches this again then it's open season on any unfortunate fedex employees i happen to run across. maybe a ups delivery of fedex driver heads will get their attention (i could be overreacting just a bit...).

don't beat yourself up over this anthony...you don't work for fedex...all this drama is their doing.

we cool, we cool.

I called and threatened to never use FED-EX and switch to AIRBORNE

it has arrived...and it's spectacular!

thanks anthony!

i gotta get it framed and find a place to put it up!

marvel1 · Post by **marvel1** » Thu May 12, 2005 3:02 pm

Great!!
Did the adress read 112 or 122?
Just got to know!!
MAC

cinlach@aol.com · Post by **cinlach@aol.com** » Thu May 12, 2005 3:07 pm

112...it's cool though. it got here and that's all that matters.

i cannot wait to get this thing up on the wall...i'm going to print the color version here at work and hang it up along with the original.

thanks for the digital coloring by the way. i had contacted tom smith (i know, nothing but the best for me!) about it and digital colors would've been $250 and hand colors would've been $300...so as you can imagine i had resigned myself to NOT having a color version.

but you, anthony my lad, came through in a big, big way.

seriously, as soon as i get some more fund-age together you'll be slaving away for me again...if you're willing that is!

marvel1 · Post by **marvel1** » Thu May 12, 2005 3:13 pm

Dude,thats freaking crazy!! 250-300 Thats my penciling rate!!
I cand always charge 60 bucks for a quick but good color copy.
As far as more stuff, i'm in nuff said.
Send me a pic when it's framed and up in your home.
Regards,
Anthony
