Well, this thread is bumming me out because of all the detractors. I got the notification from JJP on my phone, opened the image of the Hobbit PF, and nearly shit my pants with excitement. I'm so glad I preordered - my first take on it was that it looked like something you'd see on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It's simply epic-looking!
And then JJP went and said that I got an extension on the final payment. A great day for pinball...and for me. 
Quoted from Xerico:The problem with getting a bit of education is that ignorance is bliss.
So that's why I'm such a happy guy! I loved the playfield art, and still do...
Quoted from pinball_keefer:Sorry but you are completely wrong here. The art is doing exactly what I wanted it to do. There is no miscommunication there is no ignoring.
I get commenting on various technical issues of design and what not, and some changes have in fact been made already. However, now you're going into contexts which you do not understand (and how could you understand it since we have not disclosed anything in that regard).
I'm not going to go into it right now, either, sorry. Either I'm full of crap and an idiot gameplay designer, or things will work out just fine and won't be that confusing. That's probably an even-money bet. But everything is conveyed properly as far as I'm concerned.
Quoted from TheDude75:As the artist I can thank some people (like you) for their constructive feedback, but all you do now is speculate on the rules which you don't know at this point...
Do you really think I ignore the designer or the programmer while we develop this game as a team?
I think you'll feel better once you see the game lit up, filled with plastics, decals and toys
I feel better already having seen the artwork. As somebody who has preordered TH, I'm so glad that everything is living up to my expectations and exceeding the expectations that WOZ set forth by simply being an amazing game. That being said, I wonder how many of the people being critical of the artwork actually have some skin in the game. I do, and I trust that JJP will deliver the best product they possibly can. Please keep up the great work, gentleman, and remember that it's usually the critics that have the loudest voice. And while they are certainly entitled to their opinion (and sometimes even right!), there are many of us who are VERY happy with what's been done...and what is still to come. 
Quoted from MustangPaul:I wish they could find the time to keep us more informed.
I don't know why they would want to after the shellacking they took from people about the artwork. I'm starting to see things from Stern's POV...keep everything close to the vest, then just release the product. You don't like it? Don't buy it.
