So If you are an artist and someone commissions you may I be so blunt as to ask you NOT just fucking ghost them? I have had this too many times now, and it has happened again. I pay for work ad up front and then the artist ghosts me. I am dealing with someone now who yes I took a while to pay for it in full, but did not ask that they continue until it was paid, and now that I have paid them, they are just fucking gone. I have messaged them several times and nothing. Prior to me paying they were easily reachable, not that they have my money Poof! Not a word in at least a couple wesks solid. 58 to be specific. I am trying to be patient but rn I am starting to loose my shit because I have see this shit happen before and it has ended badly. Honestly not sure if I should try being more direct but I can't handle this shit rn. So yeah as an artist a simple message back REALLY goes a long way. Don't just leave people hanging for over a week without a fucking word....
