$600 Wasted: A WoW Commission Gone Wrong

Recommended Posts

48826-return-to-azeroth-catching-up-at-l

A few months ago, Reddit user LimeSucker commissioned an artist on Fiverr to make a $600 painting of his group of friends in WoW, but the result left him angry and disappointed.

It was LimeSucker's first time commissioning, and the artist's gallery seemed a perfect fit for what he had in mind.

Unfortunately, the commission was all but what the OP had hoped for, and it cost him $600. Apparently, the bear and Moonkin are copy-pasted from the reference sheet they gave to the artist.

According to the OP, the artist also asked for feedback and a tip, and it took them 3 months instead of 20 days.

Ouch...yeah it sucks that the buyer lost money on this but should he not have asked for updates and sketch work sent to him during the process?  Not too familiar on the step by step process on commissioning artwork via online.  Mainly use to working with tattoo artists when putting together future work w/ payment.

I guess that speaks for itself. This "trashtist" can't even cut off the background properly.

A friend of me and also me did not even pay near that 600$ and got a thousand times better work, but in video editing and logo / banner editing for YouTube once. ?

Y'know I kinda think that must be a joke.

If not, I pity both of them. There are so many places that should have been stopped in its tracks. But...

The image makes me think it's a joke. I make WoW art in exactly that style -- pre-posed 2D images rather than Blender or anything. My early stuff is better than this, but I suspect I'd have made similar mistakes if I'd tried something so ambitious.

And yet despite the obvious failures he's really been pretty clever about certain things. 

For example, most of the characters (look at the draenei Skayan highlighted above) have shadows and some sort of texturing. Not good, but an attempt at least. The draenei has outright had 50% of herself redrawn. That's clever. It's not good enough to be really pretty, but it's clever. But then he forgets to apply it to the background and most of the gnome?

The guy manages to at least clip an image of the guild chest but not an in-game cat? 

He manages to pose one of the humans reading -- showing an ability to use WMV, presumably, even if he fails to combo it with a sitting animation and has to redraw the legs instead. But then he can't pose the pandaren toasting? Can't repose the 

He redraws a crate (and then forgets about it) but forgets to tidy up his copy/pasting?

If he is real, he's ambitious enough he'll be good one day. But I reckon it's a joke.

Ask rule34 artists for comissions. A lot of them really put out great art and it doesn't have to be nude either. To the image above: KEKW!

      Blizzard is rolling back the changes made to the Destruction Warlock's Inferno in Patch 10.2.7 due to unintended scaling reductions.
      Inferno will be redesigned in the War Within expansion to address how Destruction scales in power in relation to target count.
      (Source)
      Hello, Destruction Warlocks.
      With the release of 10.2.7 yesterday, the scaling of Inferno became heavily reduced when Rain of Fire affects more than 5 targets. We investigated this, and found it was a change that was originally implemented with Shadowlands Season 4, and later became unintentionally broken with the launch of Dragonflight and went unnoticed.
      With the release of 10.2.7, the reduced scaling was inadvertently fixed when unrelated changes were made.
      Considering the timing of this, we’re going to remove the reduced scaling. In The War Within, we plan to redesign Inferno to address how Destruction scales in power in relation to target count.
      Thank you for the reports regarding this issue and we hope to have the fix implemented soon.

      With the release of Dark Heart, Blizzard has not only reverted Taivan to his former size, but also added new animations for the goodest boy!
      We've got some great news for Taivan owners. Blizzard not only brought his size up, but also added unique animations for the mount. Previously, Taivan was using wolf mount animations. Now his running animation and /mountspecial is different from what we've seen before the update!

      Many players took to Reddit to share the new size of the goodest boy!

      Here we are looking at week 2 of Season 4, just before the patch 10.2.7 tuning! While the raids change every week and the rankings drastically shift with them, the dungeons remain the same and we get a lot more stability, so let's take a look.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 4 remain the same, but we do see Frost Mage on the rise right after that, taking down Outlaw for 5th. Retribution is much improved this week, gaining 5 spots in 7th, with Devastation joining the Paladin on its upward trip, with a very stable Elemental sandwiched between them. Arms closes out the top 10 one spot down.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      The generalist bracket is less stable, as we see a change at No.4 already, with Destruction moving 2 up and pushing Outlaw down. Retribution is on a wild ride here as well, 4 up in 6th, while Frost is slowly making its way upward right behind the Paladin. Arms is actually moving up here unlike in the top percentiles, one up in 8th, just in front of a falling Subtlety and a rising Devastation.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Destruction remains in power in the raw DPS charts, while its fellow Warlock drops down quite a bit as Shadow claims the silver. Elemental rises 2 spots into 3rd just ahead of the unstoppable Retribution, which finds itself 7 up! The rest is mostly the same, just making room for the newcomers, with Unholy closing out the top 10 three spots up.

      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      Mythic Jaina is now easier to solo in Patch 10.2.7, and there have been some tweaks to G'huun as well!
      According to numerous Reddit reports, Mythic Jaina is easier to solo with the launch of Dark Heart.
      In the off-boat phase, she won’t freeze you anymore, which is a relief since that mechanic was the main cause of deaths during solo attempts.
      Mythic Jaina has a 1% chance to drop Glacial Tidestorm, a sought-after Water Elemental mount.

      The Conclave of the Chosen in the Dazar'alor raid seems to have been fixed too; you won’t be permanently silenced anymore. However, Rastakhan is still capable of one-shotting players, but his totems no longer zombify.
      Updates to G'huun in Uldir mean that the orbs no longer slow or root you, nor do they give you a debuff. Yet, you still need to deposit them simultaneously.
      So far, there's no new information on Mythrax in Uldir, who remains notoriously difficult to solo. We'll keep you updated with more details soon!

      It seems the new patch brought with it quite a few issues, and the latest players have been noticing is a lack of upgrade rewards in Mythic0 dungeons.
      This has been happening since patch launch, as neither crests nor flightstones are given as rewards, and Mythic0 is the only source for the Drake level mats in dungeons (you can get them from Normal raids as well). There is a way to still get Drakes from dungeons, however, as NartheRaytei points out, since you can cap out on Wyrm crests and then start receiving Drakes after that.

      It seems only Mythic0 is affected for sure, although there have been a few reports of issues with Heroic as well, but those may have been incorrect. Hopefully this issue gets resolved soon.
