Beware of this artist
7 years ago
Well then I've gone long enough, I guess.
Back in the beginning of March I commissioned "ariannafray_pr" ( https://www.furaffinity.net/user/ariannafraypr/ - linking just so you know who to not commission, not who to swarm, ok? I trust you people )
Paid $125 for this too - I think my biggest commission purchase ever.
However, to this day I only have a basic sketchy preview to show for it, all the way back from April.
Months go by without any response, even though I've found evidence of the artist being active on several accounts (discord and VK) as well as a very recent livestream on Twitch.
Notes unread, messages ignored.
Their last journal suggests something horrible happened as it says "I physically can not work and draw now.", but I no longer believe that, as she has the ability to chat on Discord and make livestreams of herself drawing, but not to answer notes or messages from a person she took over $100 from.
So in conclusion, it seems like they just took the money and ran.
Somewhat odd when someone with a full gallery of images does this, but I suppose having talent doesn't automatically give you decency.
Hopefully nobody else gives the artist the time of day.
Man, I should have used that money for something healthier than this... like fast food.

I did ask the artist for a partial refund (so that the sketches aren't free), but it falls within the notes that were never even opened....
Trying to contact Paypal over this, as nothing seems to be reaching the artist themselves
If it would make you feel any better, I'd happily draw something for you. I've enjoyed your free artwork for years now, and since someone's been an ass and scammed you I figure I should extend the offer. I can't promise anything spectacular, but I'd still happily do a drawing for you.
Curse your sophisticated ways!
...That and micro transactions. cx
Seriously, though, it really grinds my gears when people do that kind of thing. Heck, a big reason I -don't- do commissions myself is because my work is so inconsistent these days I'd be worried people would think that's exactly what I'd done! XP
Granted I think I'd only charge, like, five bucks per picture because I'm such a lousy artist! ROFL
or some similar word to describe this kind of behavior, when someone is way more patient than forgiving than is deserved
