Artist's Experience & Rating Thread

PLEASE DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A DISCUSSION THREAD. KEEP IT TO REVIEWS ONLY.
ANY POSTS THAT ARE NOT REVIEWS WILL BE DELETED.
If you've got any questions about the thread, please PM me instead of posting it here.


How this will work is that any artist added to the list will start at ZERO. I'm only gonna add people as we acquire reviews for them, so there's not a hundred names with a zero next to it, that'd be pointless. When you write a review for an artist, you'll state whether you'd like a +1 or a -1 for each artist based off the experience. Each member can only vote for an artist once (you can write multiple reviews for the same artist, but they will only count once), but has no limit on the number of different artists they can vote for. I will update a master score list here in the first post, and I will try to link to the different reviews directly below the artist's name.

This will work on the honor system. Please write a short review for each artist and be as objective as possible about your review, try to talk about what occurred. If you have a personal vendetta against an artist, please refrain from factoring that into your reviews if at all possible. We want this list to be dependable and ultimately be a good source for Artists AND Collectors (new and old) to come to. It's too easy to just say +1 or -1 for anyone, and we want everyone to be able to come to the thread and see why the artists getting the score they do. In the interest of fairness, I will not add your score unless there is a review attached to it.

As far as what to review, try to cover things like deadlines, communications, price, quality (what expected, less than expected, better than expected). Try not to just have something like "I like his art, he's a nice guy". That doesn't help anyone if you think about it. Also, we should just keep this to artists, not sculptors too. Sculpting has it's own section. I figure this list should be for at home commissions or if an artist took a piece home from the con. If they completed it at the convention, then we'll leave it off this list.

These are actual reviews, but I'm also using it as an example so you get the idea of what this should look like.

+1: Nick Bradshaw. I've had a few great experiences with him. He's done 2 commissions for me so far, an Emma Frost piece, and a Thor, Enchantress and Loki pinup in the first page of my sketchbook. His communication is good and his prices are reasonable. His turnaround can run a little later than anticipated, but once he begins on a piece it is finished rather quickly. I recieved scans of both of my pieces inside of a week after he notified me that he was beginning on them. The quality he delivers is fantastic. I will continue to deal with him in the future and hope to aqcuire many more pieces.

+1: Chris Stevens. I have dealt with Chris on two separate occasions now. First was for an Emma Frost piece, the second was for a piece for my Pirate Theme. His communication is quick and honest, and his prices while a little high for my own tastes, are totally justifiable for the quality and experience he delivers. Turn around time depends on what number you are on his list, but it's usually never more than 3-4 months. I was extremely satisfied with my dealings with him and will be (hopefully) acquiring many more pieces from him.

Jason Metcalf I had a good experience with him on Roddernberry and Doc's commission, but I have been waiting 4-5 months on something that was supposed to be done right after WW Chicago. Needless to say if I ever get my commission I will not be recommending him any longer. Unfortunately fred flintstone has been waiting longer than I have.

+1 Chris Stevens

I've gotten 3 pieces from Chris so far and each time the transaction has been smooth as silk. He asks for half up front and half as he begins working on the piece. Quite a fair way to do it, IMO. I have been thrilled with the results of each of my commissions. Also, I should point out that Chris does a top notch job of packaging his artwork for mailing. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Chris "snappahead" Stevens!

+1 Jeff Wamester - the guy always brings his A game and his own unique style to each commission. He is quick and professional. Also quick to respond to emails. His work is worth his prices. What you recieve is frame worthy!

+1 Herb Trimpe - another solid artist who is the epitome of nice and professional. What you receive is worth the his VERY reasonable price - especially considering you are getting art from one of THE definitive Hulk artists. His turn around time is very reasonable - I've never waited more than a month...

+1 Gene Gonzales

Gene is very professional when it come to his commissions. His prices are VERY reasonable, and his turnaround time is pretty quick. I've gotten 2 commissions from him and I would recommend him to anyone.

+1 Andy Carreon - www.artstudioexhibit.com

Zombies done 3 commissions with him, and depending on his schedule, he can have it done in less then a week. The longest one took about a month. He’s great at communication and is very friendly. He’s well priced and has his own style.



+1 Shelby Robertson - http://www.americandischord.com

Zombies only done 1 commission, but has also bought things from his ebay store.
The commission took about a month, but was done over Christmas so that probably made it take longer. He’s very well priced for the amount of detail he adds to each piece. He communicates well, and takes instructions well. Zombies already planning another commission in the semi near future.
