Ok im getting to the point now where i have been owed 3 commisons by some one for over 3 years now in all costing aroundt 265 bucks and all because they were in need of money bad, Another one where i have been whateing close to 4 years. and there is one now which has been over a year and its finaly broken the back of the camle.
For name sake i wont mention names but firstly the first guy. Is some one i considder a friend, but if you commit to doing something because you need the money you do it, You dont get more work makeing a longer list so people get pushed back more and more its just bad bussniess,
the second is some one who hasnt done anything for ages exspet for a cople of pices for his friends, Once agen if you get people to pay for something they exsept resaults
and the final one that has pist me off ever so much is Some one who first asked for the money up frount and sead they would give a basic sketch in a little while, which they didnt and then they sead they forgot and would start on it asap. After that they sead they had done the sketch and just had to scan it in and then AFTER THAT they told me it would be done once they got back from a con, Beyond that point they stoped replying to notes have blocked me on one of the message system i used and have been doing OTHER PEOPLES NEW COMMISONS before my one when i had been whateing a long time. Keep in mind this was given 3 deadlines non of which the artist had kept to.
This goes really for all types of artists, but guys if you want money to do something and you dont do it by the time its promissed or "forgot about it" its your duty to DO IT, If this was in real life and was say a buss's you would had been sued or worse by now.

I feel your pain. I have 2 both in the £30 region that I still haven't received.

Joys of paying up front. Haven't had to wait anywhere near three years, but having waited several months for a few I paid for up front, I certainly can understand the grievance. Always in a tough spot once you've paid. I always ask for a rough turnaround time before paying, but even with that, you're trusting an artist to give a reasonable time estimate.
