obviously nobody can know if any item will arrive intact. its just a big sticker, so it might be ok. how it looks i guess depends on the vendor. if its not licensed and is some knockoff from China then yeah its a gamble. but if its a licensed Disney/Marvel product, then there will be some level of quality control put into the product. i have never gotten a Disney item that wasnt exactly what was advertised. Disney might be horrible woke corporation, but they got their merch game on point.

Plot twist: @Falxy-US himself was the artist of these abominations all along and came here to sate his secret masochism with our criticisms.

The artist was a dumbass for not having a contract and asking for at least something like 1/3 for time and materials and an agreement on a preset price. That's on him 100%.

This is precisely why I don't really ever do commissions, but its a side hustle that I just happen to be passionate about so I have the leverage as its not paying the bills. I do shit I like, if you like it too, we can figure out a price -- it really is rewarding when someone tells you something you created brings happiness every time they see it. Generally, the passion behind the piece and inspiration doing it leads to a product that has quality far higher than some shitty commission piece that you're not remotely excited doing. Granted, there are some classically trained portrait people out there who make a fortune off commissioned pieces. And if you go all in doing this for a living, you do what you have to do, but I dont blame Falxy especially if thats the level of work that resulted. 2,600$ is a fucking joke for that.

I think Mark Carder, an artist from Austin is one of those insanely successful commission artists who charges from 30-60k+ per piece and done portraits of Pres. Bush etc. But those guys are rare.

Nope. I went through an art phase for several years. My pieces are one offs I've bought over time while attending christie's auctions. If I posted them you'd be able to dox me. I also briefly got into tiffany lamps so have a small collection as well. Always weird when people ask me how much one of those lamps cost and I cringe to tell them the amount as it's always more than their house..

Since I've never heard of a Tiffany lamp before. LOT SOLD. 1,565,000 USD

Not gonna lie that's a nice looking lamp. Not 1.5million nice, but maybe $700 nice if the knockoff was OK if I was an old lady with no grandkids and needed something to spend my dead husband's pension on.

Well you cant blame the guy for trying and the high end art world is 99.9% conning dumbfucks out of their money for zero talent pieces. There's a sucker born every minute.

Some fucking retard paid 43 million for this at a Sotheby's auction.

They're pretty cool lamps. You can get cheaper than 1.5 mill tho. Never spend anywhere over a mill for the ones I own.

Just hit Displate if you want random pop culture hangings and do not want to try and muck with an artist.
