Just sent off an email, i'm hoping I get lucky with this <3

Quick question. Are the commissions ranging from G-XXX, and what restrictions would you have for these commissions (in terms of kinks/fetishes, etc.)?

Other than that, I'm interested! I'll send out an e-mail to you ASAP. :)

My usual stuff, G - XXX is allowed, no scat/vore/excessive gore/underage. That's all. =3

Okie doke. Hope I get the e-mail to you on time... ;^^ *rushes*

Alrighty, just sent you an e-mail. Hope it got though okay!

Lots of interesting slots, sent out my e-mail to see what you think of it.

What if we're still waiting on previous pics/massive harem thingy?

If you're interested in another picture/commission you can of course pay for a spot and get one now. I just don't want anyone buying two spots at the same time, as it's not fair to others to miss the opportunity.

These commissions are for after the current batch.

Your first commission would be finished before one from this batch then.

I'm hoping you mean 'will', because that was not a hypothetical question. I've been waiting over two years now.

I mean, it's rather difficult to muster the enthusiasm or confidence required to risk more money on a project that may very well take another two or three years when A: I'm not even assured of living that long and B: Other artists of comparable skill and affordability have much faster turnaround.

You can commission anyone you'd like. I just wanted to answer your question and let you know how things would work out in such a 'what if' scenario.

But you haven't answered my question about the commission I'm. Still. Waiting. On. From you.

And that question was what?

You asked 'what if we're still waiting on x' and I answered that.

Unfortunately I can't give you a specific time table for your first commission. I'm working on them and getting them done, and when yours is done you will receive it.

Considering all the other commissions and sketches you've punched out before reaching mine, and given that mine has been 'in the works' for well over two years...I hope you hurry. This is distressingly unprofessional

There are a thousand things I would love to tell you. I've taken enough of your guilt trips and snide and scathing remarks. Id love to refund you just to get you out and away, but thats not how life works. You'll get your art in the order it was received. My life takes precede over your drawing of tits and ass, and I've appologized enough times that I think I deserve a reprieve from your attitude. I don't appreciate being treated like you've treated me. Thank god my other commissioners have the good sense to know that you get more bees with honey...

If ever you meet someone who basically says that theyd like their finished artwork while youre in shock at the death of your parent, and you DON'T go apeshit on them, then you'd be me.

I've handled you the best I can, which isn't good enough for you. Luckily I will not take any further commissions from you. I've never had anyone so determined and heartless.

Also, I'd like nothing more than to take your commission and drop it to the very bottom of my list just to spite you - but that's not what I do or who I am, All you've managed to do is to completely sour me to your commission, so when the time comes and I work on it - even at my best, I'm going to be thinking about how completely irrational and rude you were, and how I'd 'better get this over with'.

There will be no joy in the creation, no joy in the idea that I'll be making someone happy. You won't be happy, even if you love the drawing, because this can have no happy endings.

I will still give you the best product I can make and you will still have your artwork finished in the order it was received. There are people behind you, there are people before you. None have acted like you.

Yeah, most commissioners put artists on Artist Beware after two years of an artist not even responding to polite inquiries for an update on progress on either art or in queue. You have my sympathies, and a refund would be perfectly acceptable at this point.

It's not about the T&A, it hasn't been for a year and a half. It's about being reliable and keeping your word.

The only person who thinks I am out of line, including other artists I've discussed the proper method of handling this issue with, is you.

Someone sure loves being a major douche. Furries.

I was promoted from Major several years ago, but I do thank you for taking notice.

Either way you seem to continuously prefer to be a completely heartless and selfish asshole. Learn to have some patience.

Patience is waiting for a year and a half before asking for an update. Between March of 2010, and December of 2011 when I first inquired on progress.

I received no information, no response. I would have been happy to just know that the queue had progressed.

Instead, I was ignored. I was ignored again when I tried to be discreet and sent another email reminding Miranda that I exist and would like to know where I stand as she was opening up for more commissions.

Again, no response. This is the sort of behavior one sees when encountering artists that scam people. Quite alarming.

So, I inquire in public, and you can see how well that has turned out. I would gladly accept a refund, given that after over two and a half years, the sketches I'd wanted to get as gifts for friends are now out of date regarding their subject matter. One is deceased, one is no longer a friend, and the other has move on to other roleplays.

Were this a cash commission, I'd be asking paypal to resolve it. As it was an item purchased on Amazon in lieu of payment, I do not have that recourse. I'll still accept the cash value of the item at that time, and never be heard from again.

Heartless? No. An asshole? Perhaps. But that'd be something she, you, and I all have in common, so I wouldn't go pointing fingers.

I do not wish to be an asshole as it is counterproductive to a good business relationship, but I am given little other option in this matter in order to get even basic information on status and progress that other artists provide as a matter of course.

And yes, commissions are a business and should be treated as such.

I've got to ask... how have you been trying to reach her? Because I've never had any problem reaching her by FA Notes, her streams, or in her forum. And I've seen lots of other people have ease in contacting her too, including people using email. They seemed to get replies pretty quickly. So I'm wondering what methods you've been using for communication, and if maybe there's just a problem with that. Spam filters can be a bitch sometimes. And people don't always check PMs of every forum they've ever posted on. I'm not saying that's definitely the case, I just find it strange you're saying you got no communication when it was so easy for me and for other people I've observed.

I've used email and FA notes. As you've said other people have had little trouble contacting her.

Apparently he's a major crybaby too. Just can't take the fact he's a tactless prick unwilling to listen to reason.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of the amount of crack I would have to smoke before "waiting two and a half years for a commission with no results and getting upset" becomes "is a tactless prick unwilling to listen to reason". Clearly you've already discovered the answer.

I am going to be honest, I am a tactless prick. I blocked AgentKira when it became apparent they'd no interest in logic or reason.

However, I do appreciate your support.

I do shudder to think just how long the people ahead of me have been waiting.

So you've waited at least TWO years and still not a word? That to me sounds like a bit of a scam and you're well within your rights to request an update of sorts on a product you paid for. Agentkira smells like a sockpuppet account anyway so it's not like you blocked anything important. hell even if it's been one year I would have demanded a refund of some type.

I have no idea why everyone is giving you such a hard time about this. If you've really waited 2 years for a commission without reporting the artist you're more than a tactless prick. I don't care (or know) how much you spent on this commission but 2 years (even 1 year) is way too long to wait. You're being a lot more level headed than most.

I've had to wait upwards of 4 years in two cases, and I know a couple of friends have been waiting pretty damn long with another artist.

During my 2, 4 year cases, They kept contact with me throughout. Which is what made it understandable and both of these people fully upgraded my images to the best quality they could do. (Full digital, and full traditional) I've always believed communication is important. I have to agree though waiting more than 1-2 years. . .Should rarely happen.

Communication is key too. And to be honest, refunds should be allowed if it takes over a year otherwise it's just "I know I can fuck you over and you have to put up with it. So please give me money :D" I think it's in very poor taste to continue taking more LARGE commissions (multipage ones as are being offered here) when people have been waiting for over a year.

I admit, I've spent a little bit on icons here or there. The person who did my current icon cranked it out in under a week after paying. I know it's not a huge colored piece of artwork but she got it done fast and was awesome to work with. I asked someone else for a simple headshot, and after 7 months of not doing it (but constantly taking and completing more commissions) she finally just refunded my money. I would've only been out 8 bucks, but still. It made me feel like she figured out "hey, I think my art is worth more than this now... so I don't want to do this anymore for only 8 dollars"

I'm sorry you had to wait, but I'm glad at least the artist kept in touch with you and even went above and beyond to upgrade your commission slot.

Yeah I am gonna say this now, I think it's bullshit when an artist keeps making adopts, icons, smaller comms and always putting them in front of an owed piece :I I understand they need to make ends meet sometimes...I believe really this is going to get out of hand especially if they need more money later on and are filled up with even more panel commissions.

Unfortunately furries aren't going to really read and just presume it's gonna be done fast, all because they want something from a well known artist.

Also yeah those two things right there made it worth it. They kept communication. They upgraded the commissions in apology.

It was only the one..well...two...maybe one person giving me a hard time. Miranda and AgentKira. No idea if they're the same or not, but...Miranda quit talking, and AgentKira started.

In either event, thanks for saying what you did. Even just mentioning it and watching the artists reaction was very telling to any future customers. I hope you can either get a refund or get your artwork... and get it done CORRECTLY too.

A long time ago I purchased a handful of commissions and someone fooled around with delivering. I only waited 7 months. They were so sick of me asking about it politely every other month that they scrawled through it and the end result was an absolute piece of shit picture. the lines were awful, the colors sloppy, the markings incorrect. What a fucking slap to the face.

But, I don't want to borrow trouble here. Hopefully everything here ends up well for you. I'd recommend making a listing in that Artist Beware Live Journal account (or whatever it's hosted on these days) and have a screenshot of this journal to submit as well. You've been really wronged here both in waiting this long AND for how people had treated you here. People use Artist Beware as a sort of "reference checker" so it'd be good for people to see this.

I have. And screenshotted the original journal in which she stated she would start on the art as soon as she received the dinosaur toy.

It seems that did not occur.

There are people out there who are so literally stunted that they're incapable of basic understanding. It's like arguing with a lobotomy patient - you're trying to push a point against someone so mentally deficient that it's impossible for them to wrap their mind around this sort of concept.

That said, people need to be told about this stuff. Making a customer wait over a year for a commission that takes 6-12 hours, if even that, is insanely unprofessional if they aren't told explicitly in advance.

I'm going to skip the fluff and be *that* asshole: It's instant gratification because they get the money right away, dump the slot into a queue, yell at customers when their work isn't done, and keep selling commissions. It's sleazy and not exactly well thought-out, but I wouldn't argue that a lot of artists are the brightest tools in the kitchen drawer.

side note: I'd never, ever wait more than two months for a commission. Ever. There are a million artists out there who won't try to fuck you over like this and are awesome to work with as a customer.

...all five of them.
http://i.imgur.com/yDYXf.png

You are either insane or a very bad sockpuppet. If anything this guy has an incredible amount of patience to put up with this. She should have been denounced on Artists_Beware since a long ago.

I agree, I'd be pretty pissed too if I waited 2 years for a commission and haven't even gotten an update. I think he's extremely patient and nice, considering he hasn't asked for a refund by now and posted her to Artists Beware, because I would have a long time ago.

My god, can you POSSIBLY brown-nose any harder? I swear, your head must be clear up the first 2 feet of large intestine by this point. You've gone WELL past just prodding your face against the sphincter, my friend.

I guarantee you this person you'll white-knighting so savagely for has -not- had a non-stop 24-hour crisis-fest in their life, one right after another, without a single moment's pause for the past 2 years (and if they have, taking commissions is NOT the proper line of work for them--it requires the ability to commit and not leave people hanging for obscene amounts of time). People only end up waiting that long for art they've PAID for, for one of 2 reasons (and sometimes even a mix of both):

1) The artist is MAJORLY procrastinating, for any number of reasons.

2) The artist continues to take on new commissions before finishing those that have been paid for but are still incomplete, thus further elongating the que.

Let me make something abundantly clear ... TRUE. PROFESSIONALS. DON'T. DO. THIS. It's called "proper time management for working on art owed". It's called "taking on a reasonable number of commissions that can realistically be completed within a decent amount of time". 3-4 months for a piece to get to its customer isn't unreasonable. Hell, under very bad circumstances, UP to one year is also permissible. But TWO years? With the person literally having to PRY status updates out from the artist? That's some grade-A bullshit, and there's not a SINGLE thing you can say that even REMOTELY justifies it. The fact that she states "no refunds" is just the final little turdlet, atop the massive steaming pile of bullshit.

A -lot- can change in two years. As the person states--one of the people in the picture he's waiting for isn't even ALIVE anymore. Another he's no longer friends with, and the others just lost interest in the subject matter. Now he's out an image that's practically worthless. How is THAT fair? How is that even REMOTELY professional?

Y'know why she doesn't offer refunds? Hrm? Y'know why she's always taking on more and more commissions, despite never finishing the list she's already got stacked up? Because she spends EVERY single dime she acquires the very MOMENT she gets it. And, what a surprise, she goes broke again, needs more spending cash, so what does she do? Open for even MORE commissions, of course! Can't refund what she doesn't have!

If that isn't irresponsible, I dunno what is. This has "scam" written all over it. Anyone who commissions or supports this person's method of doing business is a sucker or a bootlick. Or both.

Oh shut your fucking shit filled mouth. You got to be an absolute fucking retarded autistic shit head for condemning him for waiting 2 years.

Get your delusional head out of your ass.

dude the guy paid money for artwork. wouldn't u be a little pissed if u got something off lets say amazon and it took 2 years to arrive? yes u would ud be on the phone or sending them emails after a month, this guy must have a lot of patience with this artist and i for one would never commission them, im only on this to see if the allegations are true that ive herd around numerous sites about this artist. it appears there true.

You're trying too broski, nice trolling though.

Yeah because harassing someone constantly is totally the right way to go right?

Your jabs leave as much to be desired as your reading comprehension. What part of years and months between messages constitutes harassment? I think we're done talking here.

question.. since when demanding someone YOU PAID FOR and HAVE WAITED FOR YEARS is "harassing" and being "entitled" ?

Do you live in reality? I just wanted to know because what part of reality is it considered harassment to ask for an update on a product that the man paid for TWO YEARS AGO and DIDN'T RECEIVE?! If anything, the artist should be held accountable for his or her lack of getting their ass in gear and doing their damn work. Because I'm sorry, but when I pay for a service for product, I expect that product or service to be done in a reasonable amount of time. I'm sure the commissioner didn't pay for the artist to create a 1:1 replica of the damn "The last supper". No, the artist is just being lazy, or being a thief. The artist should either pay back the money he/she took, or shut the hell up and get their ass to work.

He's been waiting TWO FUCKING YEARS. Stop kissing the artist's ass.

If he's been waiting for two years for his commission, I think he's well within his right to inquire when his picture is going to be done. O.o

Ironic how you responded only after he made the comment that Miranda was the only one having an issue with it. I smell an alt account in the works here. Then Miranda stops responding all together. Yep... alt.

I have no business interjecting but it takes 1 easy step to shut him up

Make a list of what commissions you have to do before you get to his, and show it to him.

1. John Doe
2. Jane Doe
3. Jane Fonda
4. Eviscerator
5. John Fonda

> Also, I'd like nothing more than to take your commission and drop it to the very bottom of my list just to spite you

I'd love nothing more than to drop dox on you, so he can call your boss at work and your mate's boss at work until you do his pic.

Are you kidding me? This is NOT how you run a business and this is NOT how you treat customers. I'll be shocked if anyone who reads this journal will ever commission you.

I know I most certainly will not be.. Wow. Just..wow..

^ This. I know I sure as heck would not want to commission someone with this poor attitude. This shows a high level of unprofessionalism. I also do art for a site (IMVU) and at times take commissions. I give professionalism, and expect professionalism as a result from other artists.

If I see I will not get the work done in time for the client, I WILL refund them in full. Or at least give a time frame of when their work will be finished. 2+ years, even 1 year or a few months of waiting for an UPDATE, is preposterous. I can understand real life comes first and will not allow for immediate responses.

From what I gather the client has shown a lot of patience far more than I think I would ever want to handle from an artist.

'I've taken enough of your guilt trips and snide and scathing remarks.'

QFT

Well if you'd finish his damn comission HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE SNIDE REMARKS!! God people like you make me so angry.

You need to pick up the pace and get your outstanding commissions finished before you take on anymore new ones.

This, this, THIS, a HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES THIS. Nothing pisses me off more than artists with overdue commission lists 3 years long opening up to take yet MORE money from their customers and then fuck off again for another 3 years while not delivering product.

I doubt she got so behind on purpose, but she does need to correct this - not pile it on thicker.

What's happening here is similar to a bank issuing a loan to an individual who is incapable of paying it off... Does not speak too well of the artist's ability to manage their workload and finances. By this point overdue commissions are just going to be a burden and a nuisance, so you can also expect the quality of the work to deteriorate rapidly. My suggestion for any possible commissioner would be not to invest here.

So pretty much you're accepting commissions and hoping people forget about them because they're long term? You probably won't be getting any business until you finish your current business.

Those terms up there are freaky as hell. So you're planning on making people wait 6 months(or possibly another 2 years like that poor fellow above) and hope they just forget about their money or something?

aaaand looks like an alt account.

If you can believe it they are NOT a sock for Miranda, as to my knowledge having seen them being a troll for the last three years, I can safely say they're just an asshole.

Mirandaleigh has been on the site much longer than 3 years. AgentKira is not watching her, so how would he know to check in her journal to find someone ripe for the trolling? And why is he defending her? Trolls get on people asses, but not that specifically, and they NEVER EVER defend people, especially some idiot artist who's been holding her commissions hostage for years. If he has been trolling the last 3 years, then I wouldn't be surprised if he was simply her troll account doing dirty work she didn't have the guts to do out in the open.

Let's be honest, they even type the exact same, and it's not hard to see hat AgentKira started up right after Mirandaleigh stopped responding(and by responding I mean treating her customer like trash). The fact she had to say her true words in a sockpuppet just shames her even further.

If by some chance AgentKira is not her sockpuppet, then it just means someone she knows heard her bitch and moan about someone asking for his overdue commission and proceeded to "defend" her, but only helped dig her deeper into her already slaughtered reputation as an artist.

Mrf, I'll give you that.

That said this journal is being posted all over so very easily they could hop in from elsewhere.
This guy is a known troll.

Oh I was here when it was just miranda, eviscerator, and agentkira.
No doubt, this journal needed to surface REALLY BADLY.

My one query is this: why did his trolling stop when everybody else rushed in? There are a lot of angry people here, and that's like a feast for this guy. What happened?

Mrf, Iunno. But I have seen this guy around before. If it is miranda, it makes her a pretty open troll.

I'm going to assume we'll see a lot less from AgentKira.

I hope so.

This reeks of scam to me. Hopefully the admins decide to intervene.

Yes most definitely a red flag

Yes, the journal is definitely a scam. Why people scam furries for money is beyond me, OP just finishes the work if he/she wants, else just takes the money and runs.

Looks like most of the slots sold anyways. Oh well. Some people will learn the hard way.

Mir, I'd suggest clearing out your entie backlog of commissions -- including the two-year-old commission as noted in the comments above -- before adding to your workpile even further.

No refunds and 6+ months waiting time? The fact that there are some furs willing to abide by these rules is really astounding to me.

Oh wow, you must be taking the piss.

http://lulz.net/furi/res/2333389.html

Since you're obviously an idiot in business let me give you a couple of rules to help keep you in business:

Rule #1:: Don't piss off your customers

Rule #2:: DON'T PISS OFF YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!

Rule #3:: If you pissed off your customers, see rule #1 and #2

Rule #4:: Communicate with your customers, especially if it's taking you TWO YEARS to finish a damn commission.

Rule #5:: Don't assume your customer is understanding and not communicate with him/her when you are tardy with the commission.

Rule #6:: If you feel you can't complete the damn Commission in a proper time, communicate with your customer and offer them a refund.

Rule #7:: STOP TAKING FUCKING COMMISSIONS WHEN YOU STILL HAVE COMMISSIONS TO COMPLETE.

^This, so much this.

Thank you, I offer this and so much more advice on my handy dandy DVD entitled "Stop acting stupid or I'll pop you in the mouth" for only five easy payments of 19.95!

I think for people like this, it should be free. They need the help.

I'm always ready to donate my time and knuckles to the helpless mush heads who have lost the ability to have a rational thought.

Good to know there are others :3

>Id love to refund you just to get you out and away, but thats not how life works.
It's not how life works, but when you're doing business for a customer it sure as hell is.

>If ever you meet someone who basically says that theyd like their finished artwork while youre in shock at the death of your parent, and you DON'T go apeshit on them, then you'd be me.
Keep work and life separate if you can't handle IRL stress verses customer demand.

>Luckily I will not take any further commissions from you.
Not that they'd ever be produced in a timely manner regardless.

>Also, I'd like nothing more than to take your commission and drop it to the very bottom of my list just to spite you - but that's not what I do or who I am,
This may as well be equivalent to saying I'm so great and powerful and I have the option to hurt you greatly, but I won't do it... But I'm going to rub it in your face that I can anyways. There was no reason for you to need to state this.

Oh mirandaleigh, you hilarious.

Your TOS will not cover you if you're engaging in an illegal activity; denying people refunds constitutes as theft, which is illegal.
Which means that your TOS is meaningless.

Well, theft if she doesn't deliver. Which by the sounds of it, chances are she won't.

Wow, real professional

lols

lol

Wow, I'll be sure to warn anyone I know about you. Your are the reason so many people stop commissioning art all together, because they get sick and tired of people like you who take their money and then vanish/fail to communicate for years on end and then when, on the rare chance, an artist like you actually finishes what you owe, you do a shit job and blame it on how the commissioner "annoyed you so you just hurried up and finished it".

I am also thoroughly ashamed of the people who continue to commission you with your disgusting behavior and never ending back log of commissions owed. It's a shame, your art is good but your attitude is shit and in a fandom where most artist's business comes from word-of-mouth, the worst thing you can do is build a poor reputation for yourself.

Man/woman up and give refunds to those tired of waiting.

Look, don't be ashamed of them. Streaming art is done in real time, and really...most people bought these before I posted and did the AB. They didn't know. Ain't their fault.

Someone needs to put this person on that thing "Artist beware" or w/e

They have, it was regrettable but became necessary.

:s someone needs to make an official freewebs of artist beware XD

Even when art is done in real time and I know I'd get my piece, I still refuse to support artists who show this kind of piss-poor attitude and business ethic, but I guess I can't fault those who don't know.

In my opinion she should reach out to Eviscerator and if she hasn't started his art maybe offer a compromise. He has said the pieces he requested are outdated so if she can't refund him maybe see if she can do some other art for him when his turn on the queue comes up. Seems to be a fair idea to me if she values her art as more now she can see if maybe He'll take a few less pages on a changed subject that way he'll at least get something out of it instead of a hurried piece because she is upset with him? I don't usually get involved in these things but felt this time I should. Any body else agree with me or am I crazy?

You cray-cray! I'd settle for fifteen bucks. Just the price of the dino.

After this..I..I just dunno if she could focus on the art without getting mad or rushing through it.

FYI she'll probably remove this journal and re-make one XD just saying

"Id love to refund you just to get you out and away, but thats not how life works."
see: i already spent your dosh and you are going to see neither your money nor your product

jesus christ how did anyone even consider commissioning such an immature, irresponsible artist

I've taken screen caps of this entire journal incase of deletion.

Your attitude, unprofessionalism and childishness ("oh you moaned that I take years to work so I won't put effort into yours") means iv blacklisted you, told my friends not to ever commission you and fully support the artist beware post about you!

You know what we really need, we have a list devoted to artists NOT to commish. We need a list of artists that you SHOULD commission from.

I think there is a page on here for artists with excellent service. Need to see if I still have te link

Actually, never mind got it
 trustedartists

HORAY!!!

There is a page for that. Artists Beware on Livejournal. Sadly, FA probably wouldn't let us have a group on FA of artists NOT to trust, because that'd be "Calling out" and "slander". Despite the fact what is written would be true, they'd still see it as "inciting drama".

yet they allow for trolls and such to stay on fa most of the time.....? id still say itd be worth a shot to try it.

That depends on your definition of troll. Most people classify anyone who disagrees with them or doesn't share their opinion, or just don't plain like, as trolls. When in actuality, a troll is someone who is only on this site to post gore, or cause massive drama. And accounts like that are indeed suspended promptly.

I'd say a group like that is not worth getting the account(s) of the people who create it suspended. Which very realistically could happen. If people really want to do it, I'd say do it off-site. Maybe create a blog or something.

I really dont like getting involved in these sorts of things, but i must say you need to get your priorities straight, clear your backlog and THEN, and only then, take on new commissions.

Hmmm... open for comissions, it'll take forever to do, you won't get your money back if it doesn't get done within a month, judging by the posts I've read in this journal it will probably never get done.

Stop praying on the minds of gullible people of this fandom. I use the word gullible because alot of people in this community are too nice to make a stand against this sort of behaviour. It makes me sick to the back teeth seeing people like you doing shit like this. Don't care how popular you are, it doesn't give you ANY right whatsoever to make people wait 2 years for a comission.

Your art is great but that timeframe is wayyyyy too long for my liking. Maybe times are tough, but if it were me, I'd try and get all my commissions out of the way before taking more.

The world Didn't end on May 21, 2011 so u Better get started on all Of your Commissionz....

Finish what you have got fucking started before you start any more.

Get a fucking clue, finish peoples art.

such a scam this. ppl waiting 2 years for some art and ure still accepting commissions? why dont you put them on hold for 2 years so u can catch up?

I'm sad to say after reading through this journal, and observing all the behaviors displayed towards customers, that I have removed you from my watch list. You are operating as a business, and the only way real life can have such a profound effect as to delay the making of an individual's commission for two years is if you're the one who's been hospitalized. Either issue a refund, or get your mind and hands back to your craft.

I am sorry for any loss you may have had during this period, but you cannot cite it as an excuse for lack of productivity, and horrid work ethic, and just plain dysfunctional "ToS", which in actuality will not hold up in court, were anyone to take you to one over this. I strongly advise you to take initiative, and sort personal life out of your business, and either cut off work, and issue refunds.... Or stop complaining and bitching at the people who pay for a part of your way of life, and do some quality work for them.

How about finishing commissions before starting new ones? Business skills. You apparently have none if you treat your customers badly.

unwatched, your attitude is horrible
