Hasbro doesn’t always give them reference sheets for characters. I imagine when deadlines are tight they have no choice but to do research on their own time because it’s faster than asking and waiting for Hasbro to get back to them.

Shouldnt they have those on hand already? These aren’t SUPER SEKRIT paper only things, they just need to send a folder of model sheets for characters and objects to the IDW artists with new ones as new characters show up.
 
Also while it may be legal to use fan designs because IP and shit, it’s still scummy to just do a 1:1 copy of a fan design for armor instead of making your own.

Ah yes, now I remember why I was pissy about Fleecs the other year. I was extremely ill at the time and suffering profound memory issues, so I’d forgotten.

They should. They do. It’s an intermittent problem with all the artists. It’s chronic with Fosgitt.

The worst thing is the wonderbolt “jet packs”.

Okay, I guess.
@Itsthinking  
It would be good if somebody could ask Curnow about that.
 
Because come on, if you are going to release a blatant toy advertising comic, at least get sure the toys from the comic look like the goddamn toy you are trying to advertise.

Curnow always has an excuse or a rationalization for every screw up.
 
After IDW shut down it’s boards he simply stopped caring, but come ON, they are paying him to do nothing at all or what.

@Anonycat  
well, there IS the constant conspiracy theory that he resents MLP and hates having to keep doing it and would rather do “real” comics rather than MLP.

@Background Pony #F7AB
If he dislikes his job so much he always could resign or ask for a replacement on FiM instead of performing career suicide as the conspiracy says.
 
Most likely he likes working on IDW but not MLP work.
 
Finding jobs is hard. Though seemingly he can do just fine by entrepreneurship.
