Why: I commissioned Kyton Legacy here on FB for a digital full body and shaded piece on September 14th. After the transaction I waited three weeks and checked in to see how my commission was coming along on October 5th and they said it was taking slow and that they were having personal problems. I did not receive any wips.
So I waited another two weeks without hearing anything from the artist and check in again on October 16th to see if they were alright and if any progress had been made on my commission. They said commissioned would be delayed further due to personal problems. I still haven't been shown any wips or proof that they were working on other commissions(they didn't submit anything).
I wait another two weeks not hearing anything from the artist and check in on October 25th. They replied saying that commissions were slightly delayed due to corrupt data but that they were almost done. Still no wips provided and no proof that they were working on other commissions(didn't post anything)
I then wait another week and check in again on November 4th and ask if they had a Trello or a list of commissions so I can keep up on the progress and maybe see some wips. I am then met with a long paragraph saying I was nagging and pressuring them and that they would be unable to put effort into my commission or might drop it altogether if I continued to nag or pressure them. I reply apologizing if I sounded rude or nagging and try to explain my concern for the commission, since it had been about three months at that point and no proof of work had been shown.
I am neither reassured or acknowledged for two days after expressing my concerns. Uncomfortable continuing the commission I ask for a refund.
On Nov 8th They tell me that they do not do refunds and that they were suffering from a power outage and other life problems. They say if I want the money to be put to good use I'll wait. I confront them about why they wouldn’t give refunds under those conditions if they are unable to work. But despite all that I give them more time to show me wips but that they should notify me of any delays, also that they should give me an update once a month at least.
I made a post today about this Artist and others have come forth claiming that this artist hasn’t been doing their commissions either. Upon this new information I have decided to file a PayPal claim and post this beware publicly. It is a shame I have to do this because this Artist shows talent. But I am afraid with the overwhelming evidence and poor management skills of this Artist it is apparent that they are not trustworthy.
