...*rubs his forehead* Geezus. What the hell is up with these hit-or-miss situations? I mean, I usually scout for artists to commission a piece. Some of them do a really good job, some botch it up. Tossing money in the air, right? I guess this is because I am too impatient. I am like the guy that goes 'shiny!' Probably. I should be more scruntinizing with some folks I hire and really think about it.

I have had some hits lately. However, I will talk about an letdown of an individual. Yes, it is tasteless to single out someone, but you know what? Meh. My sandbox.

So, I have been inspired for a Kamen Rider character. I was noted long ago with a request that I hire him. Last time I heard his name, there was a stint of him using a character I had thanks to a friend of his to make her look like a (lame ass) superhero. It annoyed the hell out of me with him and the artist who passed the character along with it. I'd post the link, but... my sensibilities prevent me from doing so.

However, I will admit. His artwork is extraordinary when doing superheroic type characters. So, against my better judgment, I hired him.

Now then, for the most part, everything seemed to have been going smoothly. He sent me sketches and sent me a cool design on how the morphing belt could work. He proved himself to be competent. I liked that. So I told him to proceed with it.

Perhaps this was my fault for not specifying on the ethnicity of the character. It's very uncommon for there to be African-American characters to be drawn. You know, when they're not depicted thuggish. Though, I figured the picture I provided would had been a dead-giveaway. Sadly, the link doesn't exist anymore(thanks no.net. e_e). Anyway, I guess I should have to spell down some specifics in caps next time.


Either way, I brought the attention to the guy immediately. Been a month, if not longer now that any update had been given. He read my concern, which is noted, but.. meh.

No update, no changes. But really, if you're going to personally ask me to hire you, you should at least keep me in the loop. I won't me a total ass and say that I want your total devotion(though you did ask me).

Meh. I've been burned by folks who took months and never did anything with it and yet posted whole bunch of other stuff for months(ryuuen). So my patience has dwindled to where I will start giving artists a month if hired.

Though, maybe I should be more patient. I have months while in Kuwait.
