I saw this thread on Serenity and was very concerned at just.. the complete lack of any kind of update when people were making posts worrying about how long it was taking. I seriously do not agree with pose presales, because I've seen how often it just goes wrong. Once the artist has your money it seems there is rather little incentive to finish the work. Obviously not true of every artist, but still something people should be wary of.

Waiting a year for poses that were apparently 'almost done' at the time the initial preview was posted is just ridiculous. Gala, finish them or give these people their refunds. It's going to hurt your bank balance for a while but you owe it to them.
