Hey J-M-T,
No line was crossed as far as I'm concerned, I'm just there to help the artist/client/friend
However, I think Ardian forgot that there was an existing list of people interested in commissions. At the time he had a monthly book and wasn't able to take on commission requests.
Fast forward 12-18 months or so and it looks like Ardian had/has some free time and a few people went direct to him and obtained commissions. (I did check in with Ardian from time to time but he said he was too busy to accept new commissions at those times).
Going direct is fine with me but would have frustrated those who thought there was a queue. (I did have a list but it seemed that Ardian was busy for so long, I must admit that I would have had trouble locating the list again).
That said, no money was asked up front for those who were in the queue so no-one was out of pocket. I know it's frustrating to possibly miss out but no-one was out of pocket
As regards the sale of published pages, Ardian has kindly agreed to send me more pages from previous books and I hope to have pages available for sale soon! Best,
Royd
Edit: Just wanted to add that those are awesome commissions of the Justice League and Batman/Nightwing/Robin - congrats

This was not set up through Royd as at that time I did not know he had a rep. Sorry Royd if I crossed a line. But he offered direct and I hope it's cool with you.
