artists_bewareWHO: Galagya/Siedend(I don't know if she still uses this second one)
WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/galagya/
WHAT: A $30 traditional commission, that was then changed into a $30 digital commission.
WHEN: This has been going on for almost 5 years.
PROOF: My original payment back in '08; http://www.antifaro.com/images/Carristo/galagyaproof_1.png
A note from about 7 months ago reminding her about my commission for the thousandth time(you can clearly see the date); http://www.antifaro.com/images/Carristo/galaproof2.png
EXPLAIN: This has been going on for almost half a decade, so forgive me for the lack of screenshots, I was unaware of A_B until probably last year.
Back in '08, she posted a thread on the Wolfhome forums offering a traditional full-colored commission. She either deleted the thread since or posted it under a different name, because I can't seem to find it now. It's been a long time, so I have no specifics, but ever since she either forgets about my commission, or has some reason why she can't complete it. While taking on a never-ending amount of new commissions(here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3917606/ and basically every other journal she has up, offering free art as well! There are literally too many to link) or makes a new premade set. Along with taking on new commissions despite mine being almost 5 years overdue, she has a long, unprofessional journal basically freaking out and lashing out at the community for not giving her money because of her situation here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3897246/
She frequently has "issues" that cause her to disappear, not have internet access, her computer breaks, or she has no money to refund anybody, so I had given up for the longest time about getting anything from her. I have given her my commission information over and over, and have bugged her several different times but I have had no success in even getting a sketch at this point, despite being listed as my commission being "35% done" on her journal tag, before she apparently had her computer stolen(as I stated before, FREQUENT issues) and therefore had no one's art. At this point, I have heard nothing from her for 7 months(since that last note linked up there ^) and instead of noting me(or any other commissioners, I'm assuming) directly, she posts a journal asking commissioners to send her commission info.
Galagya has been pleasant in any contact I've had with her, but this runaround and the wait has been beyond infuriating. I would just like a refund at this point, but I don't expect to get either the art or the refund at this point.
Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'll fix them asap if there are!

Date: 2013-01-31 09:49 pm (UTC)I asked for a refund some weeks back(before this was even posted) and I still haven't even heard back from her to say "sorry no money", so I think it's safe to assume she's going to take the "ignore it and it will go away" approach with me(again). I don't mean to be rude, but I don't really even want the art anymore, and I just want a refund. Her newer stuff looks pretty rushed, and even if I do miraculously get my commission from her, I didn't give her $30 to get... rushed art.

Date: 2016-05-12 08:04 pm (UTC)Not gonna lie, it kind of hurts my ego a bit! But, y'know, I know my art isn't the best out there. Not by a long shot. I can't help that - I can only keep trying. But you don't need to insult it, because again - it was not rushed. & I wasn't asking for critique, so. Y'know!
Hell, maybe my stuff /should/ be done quicker. At my worst, people waited YEARS - yikes. A bit of fire under my ass in the very beginning to get things rushed along may have been better! ...note, this is a joke. Sadly, I feel the need to emphasize that fact.
Okay, gonna stop posting on here, I swear. I actually need to go anyway. Just, lots of stuff left behind, since I was too upset to comment when it initially happened, so long ago. I really need to just shut up here & make a new post.
