con confirmed? =w=
15 years ago
check this out: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2488025/
It's a commission pic I drawn like, 1 year ago. however, I still haven't receive any payment yet.
I contacted the commissioner and ask if he's going to pay or not, but he said that he just don't have the money since he's studying in university and he's so broke that he can't even eat every day.
I asked if he can at least save up 5 bucks every month and pay me little by little, he said that he can't, since saving up 5 bucks every month can also bring stress to him.
The final answer from him is, he'll try to find a better work and when he earns more money, he'll pay me.
nope he never did, not even sending me a single message from then on.
Funny thing is that, I see many of his submissions during the next half year, and some are commissions. if he really is that broke, then why commissioning someone else and not having a single bucks left for paying me?
this morning I finally decided to sent him a message and ask what happened or when he's planning to pay me, but guess what I got?
"You are unable to PM Sportmotor because the user has put you on their block list"
what can I say? I got blocked since he owns me money and not willing to pay anymore? conman approved?
if you don't believe in it and if you are mod/admin, check the database log, and you'll see if this is true. and if you are an artist who takes commissions, a warning to you: never start drawing anything until you have the first half payment in your pocket. if someone don't have money in the first place they probably won't having it in the next, so to speak. And watch out that fur. IDK if he's really a con or not, but what he's been acting really do made me mad, especially when I been patience and wait politely and quietly but end up being blocked. FTW..... =A=

I couldn't say that I am totally not responsible for this, since I start drawing before a final confirm. But hay, blocking me? by blocking me means that he'll never contact me and he's never planning to pay. You can't say that he'll not doing that on purpose...
Also, I think from SOMEWHERE you can sue him for fraud because of this.
what's that SOMEWHERE BTW? OwO"
There's gotta be SOME way you can. It's stealing.
It sucks to people that will honestly pay, but then someone that break your trust you won't trust anyone. Well, I do hope to commission you sometime soon.
got some multiple-character commission on my paws that takes really a lot of time to draw.... @w@""
Well, any single artist will have to deal with the wrong customer...at least once...
Someday I'll make commisions... thanks for the protip BTW
IDK if the mods/admin will care about it, anyway... >.>"
I think there is also a list of blacklisted Commissioners you can get him added to.
But, you did give him a finished product without payment. But you knew that part was your bad already x3

He will yiff in hell.
What a dick.
some of my friend paid 300+ commissioning an artist for a painting, but 3 years passed she still haven't receive anything XD~
*Armstrong hugs* I'm sorry, dude.

then he should be able to pay you as well.
It's a '66 VW Beetle, but fully restored and with a bigger engine.
I guess, a trip to the small claims court is in order here.
that's not right but it wasn't right that he got free art from you IN THAT WAY....
BLOCK HIM TOO!
This will be the end of this. :)
1st, in the last PM, you DID said that you'll paid when you have money. But you didn't keep your promise, and a man who do not keep his word is not a man, but a jerk.
2nd, if you are not felling guilty about it, why blocking me? you are pulling a gun shooting at your own toe, funny!
3rd, do I have to ask the admin to trace back the PM history and see what you said before? you sent me the whole commission info and making it like I am okay to start it. I trusted you'll paid so I start working on it. but you just bait. And if you are not planning to paid, why ask me for the full size image without saying anything else?
honest it is already not the problem of that 40 bucks, you made this personal. if the pic is something you don't want, then don't take it, don't lie in the first place. Don't made the promise that you'll paid. Because by doing that it just humiliate your own self. I don't want your money anymore, but I just need to point this out and let the fandom to just who's right and who's wrong, and who you really are. If you think you got nothing to apologize, then try to ignore me. Ignore me if you can.
I was going to pay you then things came up, things are straight but I will not be paying you(See above). Its the end of the story, so is reading any and all replys upon this subject.
I inall honesty didnt even read this reply I am responding to you. Good day, and good luck in future endeavors but dont try to bully people into paying you either.
the price is ALWAYS here from the first time I start taking a commission, I know that some people NEVER READ before asking a commission slot, but that's not the reason to run away with it. Don't find excuse.
And nope I am not bullying people, I am simply just telling the world what you said to me and what you did before, so that furs can judge, so that other artists will think again before you ask a commission or request or anything from them. Can you deny that anything I said here is not true? I don't think so.
And yes I do agree that it is a waste of time wasting my time on arguing with this. Let the furs judge. they are not fools, not as foolish as me, after all.
I hope Darkgoose hooks you up with this:

Honestly, It really pains me to hear that you were never paid for this comission.
For hecks sake, its a masterpiece. You drew him so well and made him look so awesome, in his intimidating appearence.
All that work and effort for nothing... shucks. I'm really sorry, my friend.
I hope its a consolation though, that you have many customers that CAN be trusted. Myself included.
In addition, if you place a signature or something on it then you can get even more people to like your art that aren't even in the fandom. His loss, your gain.
Personally I'd never want anyone to do anything for me until I had paid them at least half what I owe first. It'd be rude to expect otherwise.
