A warning to artists
5 years ago
General
Sounds very ominous, I know, and it's my first journal, but I feel like I need to get this out there:
My partner,
lady-lizard , has recently had to deal with a vicious and toxic commissioner, namely
whatlurkswithin
They initially commissioned
lady-lizard for an art piece about the red prince, which was delivered to said person without problem.
Payment was done and received and commissioner seemed happy.
Although recently the same commissioner commissioned again, but this time they felt the need to send my partner creepy voice messages and send emotionally manipulative messages about how they were suicidal.
lady-lizard tried their best to stay friendly and kind throughout the interaction but, being their, partner, I saw it was taking it's toll on him.
He started sleeping less and less and he felt uneasy at all times at which point I recommended they refund the commissioner and break contact with them.
After some convincing they finally did and formulated a letter in which they kindly but also directly stated the commissioner was to be reimbursed (which they did immediately after sending the note) and that contact would be broken and requested no contact would follow anymore.
After feeling visibly relieved for a good while, today was the day my partner got a message from paypal where the commissioner,
whatlurkswithin, made a claim not only for the money he had already received back as reimbursement but also the money from the commission he had received months ago about the Red Prince. (Which, by the way, he even commented on)
He claimed he had not received the products and that 'if his house burned down, he would lose it forever'... because the internet obviously dies with his house.

So this person is now attempting to steal hundreds of dollars in money back from work he's received and from work he's already been reimbursed for, whilst spitefully misgendering my partner.
So in short, or TL;DR:
If you're an artist, avoid doing business with
whatlurkswithin at all cost. Unless you like getting stolen from or getting creepy voice messages.
