Wow, you'd think the story would move a lot faster if it's that short.
.
Lane once said he pays the artist whenever he can afford to, so that probably means he'll pay for one page at atime and the artist, schedule permitting, will draw that one page.
 
Damn, I can't believe first Alec and now Lane keep managing to rope people with real industry cred into this. I guess nobody does any research before getting involved in this kind of stuff.
Personally, if I was invited into a project like this, the first thing I would do is look up the people involved and see if they are people I'd want to my name associated with. If I went into this blind, and researched Alec, Johnathan, and Axanar and saw everything going on around them, I wouldn't go within 100 miles of anything associated with them.
 
Having come from a slightly similar background in multimedia/video production many years ago, I don’t think it’s as much of a case of not doing due diligence, but rather an opportunity that can be later placed on a resume/portfolio demo, irrespective of the final outcome. It’s one more thing for an artist to show future prospective clientele. AP may be a complete con-artist, and may not even pay the artists for their work, but the artists will retain control of the work they’re guaranteed to complete and, therefore, show off to someone else, under the pretense of “pro-bono” end-product. I did this many times myself back in the 90’s before work became more solid and reliable. Honestly, I think it’s quite a common practice.

In today's AxaMonitor Daily:

  • We have an overview of details that have come to light in Alec Peters’ dealings with the widow of Emmy-winning Star Trek VFX artist Gary Hutzel. She has a $94,400 beef with his sale of the Entreprise model featured in the 1996 DS9 episode, “Trials and Tribble-ations.”
  • The public revelation of this dispute (we've been working on this story for months) hasn’t made Peters happy. Read the list of the people he says he’s suing over the Hutzel story. Hint: It includes a “guaranteed” lawsuit against yours truly for publishing this story at all.
  • Finally, take a look at our timeline of the sale of the Enterprise model, which includes details and downloadable documents demonstrating what happened. And didn’t.

Alec reaches a new low.
At least we now know how he managed to get by during the lawsuit.
 
And Alec Peters has yet to prevail in ANY legal action that he's brought. In fact he still owes $26,000 in legal and other court fees to the last person Peters attempted to sue for defamation. (IE the Judge found in favor of the defendant Peters sued and Peters is liable for said Defendants court fees and legal costs. Of course Peters still hasn't paid that.)
