Since some folks want to run their mouth when it suits them, here's a bit more articulate version of my last thought, mb roughly a week ago that went up on my Sofurry. Debating on making my 1st youtube video around it, not sure, needs more research.
Had a dream I was fighting a bunch of people off, woke up suddenly remembering who I am, so since it's 230am and my brain won't switch off, here's a much more articulated version of the thought I tried the other night mid poisoning stupor.
Back in, I believe it was the tail end of 2015, I went to commission one of my favorite artists for the hunky muscle version of Ezekiel, Darius Koopa. (The profile of which is still up) Not too long into 2016 that profile was wiped and he moved to FA under Darius Leogator, the name of which is on the ref I mentioned here : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38369780/
The ref turned out great but I paid him for two slots, the second piece is where issues started popping up. I noticed a pattern of posts saying something along the lines of "Another toxic commissioner" Or they were refunded and a conflicting post from the party somewhere else saying otherwise. Which, I get it, it happens, people are gonna people and people suck but then it kept happening and I realized it was a pattern of tells. I was handed one excuse or another as to why it wasn't getting done and time drug on.
It's now been 6 years since then, still haven't seen a finished piece, saw an outline, was offered a refund for a quarter of the price. Again, after 6 years? That is completely unacceptable by any formal business standard and while he's certainly gotten better, there are still more than a few people back from that era whom are still owed. Knowing everything that I know now, what he did and how he was under the names, Darius koopa, Subzero, I would never have contacted the person now known as Darius Leogator or Leogator arts and Darius Leodragon. This is my warning to the viewer, don't waste your money, time, or effort. While I might be a dick on my best day and a raging drunk loon on my worst days, I've still never stolen from anyone. If I give out shoddy work it's something I've offered to do for free but even then I own it.
So yeah, go ahead and add me to the "Just another person who wants to see me fail and is jealous of my success." Or maybe I'm a pissed-off customer, maybe I was a hurt friend with a drinking problem, keyword was. May karma be kind to you. My only real recourse at this point? Satire and mockery which I happen to be decent at, gives me a great idea for a character actually.
That business aside, THE STUDIO'S SETUP!!!!!! XD All the equipment works on a good day, still having to swap some things around as they don't like to play well together but IT WORKS! Art, animating, and writing will be my focus with my goals being an AMV-focused creator, I'd love to put scenes and even loops to great songs with people's OC's. My schedule isn't as full finally as well and this depressed Lul is getting peeled off with spring and my new gym so let's get back to it.
Cheers! And be good my kobolds.
