I don't like doing this, but being out a decent sum of money, for nothing does tend to make one angry. Until now, I have never had a bad experince with artists, they almost always complete my commission in a short amount of time, and I am not picky, and am almost always satasfied with the first sketch, and even more so with the finial product.

Recently, two artists have taken my money and ran

EDIT: 07/10/2008
The post originally pertained to two artists who I felt I was burned by, in all reality it turns out I was more wrong then I was right. I was only a little bit right from the aspect that I had waited to very long, and had nothing to show, for having paid such a large amount of money for a commission.

After talking to Rackun a bit, I have come to discover that it was all a very huge mistake, and mis-communication, messages though Fur Affinity not making it to their destination, ect. We came to an arrangement finally, granted it was not what I wanted it to be, but still proper arrangements were made, and I relise that I was wrong.

He is someone worth doing business with, this was MY OWN STUPIDITY, not his.

I am deeply sorry to both Rackun, and Mark Wulfgar, this was a TERRIBLE misunderstanding.

I put in a commission with him about 6 months ago now, and when I try to contact him by IM, he ignores me and never responds. I have had him respond a couple times to me on Fur Affinity telling me he's still going to do it, then like usual, nothing. He just ignores me some more.

I met him at MFF '07, and he told me he would do me a commission, but I was extreamly sick the entire convention so I waited until it was over to catch up to him on FA, and I did, and then I pay him, though paypal, and nothing.

I'm out that money to them, they'll never complete my commissions, and I think everyone deserved to know that they just burn people, steal their money and run. I could have taken the money I paid them, and commissioned someone better and gotten EXTREAMLY professional results. But no, I commissioned these two for something neat and unique, and they think I was a charity, take my money and run off in to the night. Good job guys. Bravo.
