I'm tired.
I'm in "polar bear/Tunder mode where I just don't give a fuck.
So, I poked at an artist who has owed me art for years VIA skype.
No response.
Waited a bit... Still no response.
Said person KNOWS how to contact me and hasn't. Last I heard was that my art would be worked on once home from a con.
Now, I plan on posting a copy of said message here, but let me say something first: When an artist says "I am too busy with work", but then has time to go to a convention that's one HELL of a drive away... Yeah... No... That doesn't typically go over well. Which is where This came from.

I'll be up front and honest with you. I don't expect my commissions to get done any time soon, if ever.
I don't want to sound like a dick, but... It's been what... Three years now? Before, you said that you were busy with work, which is fine, because... It's work. I can't expect you to not go just to do what you owe me and potentially put yourself out of a place to live. I'm not that kind of person. But when you have time to go to cons (where, as an artist, I'd assume you'd draw for people there) and stay for however long, but lack the time to draw owed art... That's frustrating. It really is.
As things stand now, Once I am working again, I doubt I'll be commissioning anyone that doesn't provide art before payment, as that trust is gone. This has not only happened with you, but another artist who has had me waiting for a year now. It may not be your intention (or it may be, I dunno), but I feel scammed. Like every time you tell me that you're going to work on my art, or you plan on doing it, you really don't intend to at all.
I've tried trusting. I've tried waiting... And waiting... But patience only goes for so long, and I'm about at the end of mine, and at the point where I don't really care anymore. To me, that money is gone. Spent, and of no further value to you, or myself, and since it is no longer of use, as is our agreement. The one from customer to artist (Ie: I give you money, you give me art).
As stated before, I have given up all hope of even seeing a single scrap of art, and if you need to ask, just know that no, I'm not angry. I'm just... Disappointed. In you, and myself. Primarily myself because I let myself get my hopes up, expecting something to happen time and time again, even though deep down, I really felt that it was highly unlikely...
Take this as you will, but... I'm just tired of waiting. Tired of expecting and getting nothing. Tired of being told "It will be done" and getting no results at all. We can still talk and such, but at the end of the day,there's a slim chance I'll be a returning customer, nor will I be able to recommend you for any form of commission in good conscience in the future.

So... Yep. That's the note/message. I'm not gonna say who it is. I don't want anyone TO say who it is in the comments. As I have stated in the past; I'm not looking to start any fires, so to speak. I'm not looking to amass an army.
All I'm saying is "This person owes me art, and HAS owed me art. And I feel good, cause I sent a message that is clear and to the point. Mostly because I'm in polar bear mode, but... What the hell"
Yay polar bear mode.
Yay inner Tunder...
Yay sleep! Speaking of: I found a way to stay asleep longer now. Still have bad dreams, but...
Headphones. I go to sleep, listening to my MP3 player. Blocks out all sound and such. So... Yeah.

To lazy to read everything? Let me summarize.
Stuff things, something about an artist and sleeping. Maybe a sleeping artist.
Peace out, and all them testicles!
