Yeah no kidding. Thanks for the support Andy, means a lot.
And no, as you can see on the list on page 4, all payments are most certainly not in. Also yesterday was the day that I originally said the outfits were to be complete. I didnât even say anything about being shipped by then. Plus even though not everyone had paid, Star puffs has already been contacted about getting the box back to her anyways so I could take care of those who have already paid faster... So being not only on time, but ahead of my own deadline turning around a custom run in what Iâd honestly say is record time and honoring a promise I made during a global pandemic doesnât carry a lot of weight for some people .
These took forever for me to do as well but i refused to rush through anything and I wanted all to be as good as they could be. If I broke it down hourly what the payment was if I were to charge what I would for my freelance art direction / creative brand consulting work hourly I would have had to charge triple what I did. I did it out of respect to Victoria and Robbie and yunsil and those who really put their heart into making this the best and because I love this movie and I love this hobby/community and I wanted to see the most epic K on peopleâs shelves as well as my own.
This is exactly why I donât deal with custom runs, all it takes is one bad apple even in a sea of awesome guys to ruin the whole thing. I have great empathy and respect for guys like Andy who pump out awesome work continually and have to constantly put up with whining from a select few.
I will say that thereâs only been one whiner this entire time though... at least Iâm grateful for the rest of your guysâ support. It just makes me realize who I will and wonât do anything with and for in the future and believe me there always will be a next time.
So thank you again to the rest of you for your kind words and support and apologies for the vent, Iâm as eager for you all to finally finish your Ks as anyone else as soon as Victoria gets back it will be off along with the guys who shipped me directly everything is packed up and ready to go.
