Totally feel you on that one, man. Speaking from experience, if you start selling pieces, people who are unhappy will ALWAYS be louder about it than people who are happy. But that's just business in general.
The best thing you can do is to make sure you accurately advertise your work. If you think there are flaws, point them out. I did this when I sold my work, none of which is the best there is, but I was honest in my own opinions of my work and as a result, had maybe two people get upset with the final product over the span of a year.
Honesty is the best policy. The fact is that many people who go out looking to buy custom cosplays have a a tiny budget and yet HUGE expectations. You just gotta be on your toes.
Whether or not you start to sell, I'm looking forward to updates! Between your mask sculpt and the dye-sub that Shades is working on, I'm looking at my Deadpool version 2 and thinking I might have to scrap it and do better! And that's a good thing!!!
I like your mask.
Hurry on the Task master, we all want you to finish the Deadpool mask!
As soon as I get Tasky all molded up and have a free styrofoam head again I'll get right on the Deadpool sculpt. I just got pissed after the silicone stuck to my belt buckle...again...and ruined it. So I needed a break :lol But trust me. Things are coming!

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we are excited to see your work! Keep it up!
I have a sonjou deadpool costume I am working on now. I would like to see a maybe 3/4 mask, so my jaw can still move, but my eye holes would be black mask like yours. And ones with expression would be cool too. Like the classic wink, one big eye, one little eye. Your work is awesome
Until further notice I'm done with this build. Sorry.
-Cubone.
Noooo!!! That sucks. You did an awesome job
Thanks man. I just don't have the resources to finish this build how I want right now. I can't afford more latex sadly haha =/ Just had to pay graduate school application fees, graduation fees etc...But once I get more money...hopefully my next pay check will put me over the top...I should be able to continue it. So maybe a week or two of putting it on hold. I promise it will come back.

It looks good, do a small run next time to fund your projects!
Yeah I probably will with my Taskmaster bucket. I'm not sure with my Deadpool. AZSpidey has done a pretty epic mask, and I honestly would say check with him for commissions on his, because I'm not going to be in a position to produce any Deadpool masks for a while. And he accomplished the look I was trying to produce.
Anyways no new updates here. Money is still tight, so no latex for a while...but I'll update when I get some more done. Right now I'm trying to get my Taskmaster mold done.

Yea, I ordered one from him. We are pulling for you
