Massive Rave Commissioners, Please Read!
12 years ago
Please read my Terms of Service before requesting a commission - thank you!
I've been getting questions here and there about the status of the Massive Rave Commission, so I'm going to address those as best as I can here:
-Yes, it has taken longer than my original estimate of September to finish the image. Having never done a project on this scale before, my estimate was off, and I do apologize for this. Please remember that I did state in my journals initially that "no hard deadline is set." My new estimate for completion is sometime in November.
-No, I am NOT able to post a WIP at this time, due to computer issues (dead power supply). The Longer Explanation: all of my files are backed up to an external drive which is, unfortunately, formatted as Mac-only, so I cannot access my data from the windows laptop I am currently borrowing (and nobody else I know locally owns a Mac). Trust me, I'm just as frustrated by this as you are, but there's nothing I can really do until my computer turns on again.
-I'm currently waiting for my new (refurb) power supply to arrive in the mail, at which point I'll install it, and hopefully be good to go. This should happen sometime next week. Until then, again, I do NOT have any access to any of my stored data.
-As soon as I possibly can, I will be posting WIP images to FA, and sending out an update email to everyone who got a slot.
-I hope to have the image completed in November - but again - this is an estimate, not a deadline, and is based on my successfully repairing my computer. I will update the estimate if the situation warrants.
-If anyone would like a refund, please read: email me at electricgecko at gmail dot com, and I can discuss this with you individually. Include the FA username under which you bid for a slot, as well as the paypal email address you used for payment. (Please keep in mind I will re-auction any forfeited slots, and you will not be eligible to bid on them again.)
-Refunds are only available from now until such time as I have posted WIPs online; once art has been posted publicly, I will no longer accept requests for refunds.
-To everyone who has been patient and understanding (and that's the vast majority of you!): THANK YOU, I appreciate it tremendously. <3 I'll be in touch with all of you directly, just as soon as I have access to the files, and I think you won't be disappointed!

I think there are a few programs and tricks you could try to at least view your external drive and its files if you wanted to get anything off of it. A google search for something like "reading mac drives with windows" should get you a few options. Sadly I don't see a lot of Mac stuff personally and so I don't have much experience to help you out in that regard but I can at least point you in the right directions if you need/want help. Up to you of course.
Hope you get a new PSU soon, I know waiting around for stuff to be able to work again is maddening D: (and then you can throw the old PSU at those kids on your lawn :D)
