At the beginning of this process, I asked him what kind of base colors he was thinking of for the piece. He replied:

"From : GERBOX1@aol.com

Fiend...
Here r some of my thoughts on the color scheme:
-dude (yes gloves)
dark red armour / or olive green ( stripe on dudes nose should stand out -bright color)
-girl
she should look like a memory (monochromatic)-warm or cool
-I like color surprises:
(a grey/ brown painting w/spots of glowing intense accents...orange, torquise, lime)
think pseudo movie poster.....ie. black background....with them poping out..."


So, I colored his piece with those base colors and showed them to him and he said:

good job ..can't wait to see the finishes..."


I later sent him a working version to see what his thoughts were. I told him:

Alright, here's where I am right now. I still have to finish up the leg, bag, dagger, the woman, and the background. That sounds like a lot, but actually that's the easy part. The gun was pretty hard, and I had to edit the lineart a bit to adjust the perspective so the lighting looks right, but I think it works well now. What do you think?"


He replied:

I can barely see it ...too dark.... "


As I wrote in the description of the piece, I thought this was a pretty lame form of critique. He could've at least commented on more. Maybe he was insulted by the fact that I had to change his lineart because it was wrong? In any case, I decided to make the gun a bit more distinct, and so I sent him another working version. He responded:

"From : "Endo Areon"

It's nicely colored...why didn't you finish it..? I am currently working with 2 colorists....I need to see finished pieces...half done mean what? I'm supposed to guess what your finish piece looks like...?"


I thought this was even more lame. Obviously, it's a working version, so that's why it isn't finished! And WTF is up with his comments about "I'm working with two colorists..."? I'm not applying for a freaking job, I'm coloring your damn lineart because I like it! I don't really feel I have to prove myself to him. Then again, he does say "It's nicely colored..." This will become important.

I then finished coloring it, and told him I was going to put the picture up on my site and that he could put it up on his if he wanted. Still, I did wait for him to respond to me before putting the picture up, otherwise you would have seen it here yesterday at 3PM.

Then he got anal and arrogant and basically told me he didn't want me putting it up. True, maybe I should have asked for final permission, but first off, I was excited because I thought the piece turned out really well, so I wrote the e-mail very hastily, and second, since he already gave me permission to color it, sent me his lineart, and said he liked the coloring up to that point, I figured he wouldn't have a problem with me putting it on his site. Since he was being an asshole about it for no particular reason, I wrote him a rather angry email back commenting on his reaction and telling him that since I made major adjustments to the piece with his permission, I also get a partial copyright of the piece, so it's not completely his art anymore.

Following that, he replied to me with a whole string of insults which make no sense in light of previous things he'd said. He also felt secure enough in his excellence to say that "you are nowhere close to professional" and that he didn't want to put up the picture because of "the ugly color choices you've made." Oh gee. I didn't realize you hated your own sense of color so badly.

I'd never have guessed. So you can expect to see some more of those soon. New stuff is on the way. Should have a few things up in the next few days. And by the way, I hate having to commute for 4 hours a day.
