It isn't a surprise that I commission a lot. You might as well call it an addiction at this point. I'm very patient when it comes to the progress of my commissions. Three months is usually when I start asking for updates and I may wait even longer if they're an artist I'm familiar with or they are extremely transparent with wait time, delays, etc... However, my patience doesn't last forever and it gets to the point where I might as well cut my losses with that artist after asking month after month, and basically getting ghosted.

I've been ripped out of a combined total of $407.50...
One from a legit piece of shit scammer
two from this site
and another two from twitter

I'm not going to make this a callout post since the amount of money I've given them is relatively pennies compared to what other artists normally charge, but please be aware that even artists can be the ones who steal from people.

actually yeah wait, If someone approaches you on Discord or Fiverr with the name "Harpekhe" and they offer to do 3D work for you, tell them to fuck off.
They grift me out of $270.50!

Other than that, yeah, pennies.

I usually don't post shit like this but it absolutely fucking ruins me when i put my money where my trust is and all they do is give me the cold shoulder...
