artists_beware | Beware: nukafoxy3

EDIT: After the artist saw the livejournal she has completed and posted the artwork owed. This beware still serves as a warning about this artist, but let me be clear that this was not a scam, instead a large delay and lack of proper contact.

WHO: Nukafoxy3

WHERE: furaffinity.net

WHAT: 3 digital pictures, two chibi style and one with more details.

WHEN: paid on the february 27th, march 18 was when the 'never delivered' art was first contacted about.

PROOF:
1:

EXPLAIN:

I commissioned the artist for a series of three digital commissions, paid for them accordingly as seen in the first screenshot. The first picture was delivered on time, surprisingly as it was less than a week between payment and due date. The second picture was not uploaded on its due date and i noted about it, as seen in screenshot two. This note was ignored and i only got a reply on a second note 5 days later , when both the second and third images in my commissions were past their due date on delivery. Her reply is seen in screenshot 3 - one image was uploaded soon after, the second of three i paid for.

My next note to the artist was on the first of april, after quite some waiting on the third piece. This is screenshot 4, and after 8 days i got a reply and we noted back and forth, the result seen in screenshot 5. I was promised it would be done soon, and i was offered (and accepted) a wip shot, which is screenshot 6 and screenshot 7 shows my reply to it.

After another month of patiently waiting for an update, contact or the finished art, i noted again asking for an update. I did get a confusing reply, apparently pointing back to the month old sketch - this is shown in screenshot 8.

In the final screenshot, you can see i finally lost hope of receiving the art, and i requested a refund. I was told i could not get it right away, and paypal only offers support if a ticket is opened within (i believe) 45 days. Between then and now, i have contacted her once more via the furaffinity shouts but sadly do not have screenshots; i asked an update on the refund and she stated she was still in red. At the date of writing, the 28th of July, i have still not had any word from her and still do not have a refund.

I am accepting this as a loss seeing as it's been so long, and it was only four or five dollars, but i do hope i can help protect others by making this post. Not a single time was i contacted by the artist, even when the due date she agreed to passed. She is still continuing to take commissions, and has been the entire time, but is finally beginning to deliver on her months old commissions... However, in my eyes it is far too little, too late, as she never did deliver the art, let alone by the date she agreed upon.

I don't think people should buy from nukafoxy3 any more. I too have not gotten my work. I have all the emails to prove it too. I also have spoken to others who also have not gotten their work. I am very sad, and think most of us will not ever see our work we payed for. The thing that makes me the most upset is that I thought I was helping her out because she always saying she needed help and money. I guess she was just not telling the truth about that along with all the pictures we are all due. :(

Might want to make a beware about this if it's still continuing.

Yes this is still continuing, I paid for two full chibi commissions from her back in mid 2013 and she still has come through, she claims to have finished one - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14104546/ - however it is not the discription i laid out for her, though i had also given refs for it as well, I've tried contacting her multiple times but i always get one of three replies - A: ill them done tonight/uploading them tonight - B: keep a look at a journals you'll find more there - C: ive been to busy to work on them. Now she did offer to fix the one linked above and I told her yes please, thats the last I heard from her, id proof it but ive forgotten how to screen shot, do you know how? .*.

Hi, OP here. First of all, i'm simply baffled that even after all this time, the same issue is still going on. The three replies you listed are almost exactly the things i recall being told after multiple messages / requests for update on the art. :/

Screenshotting is pretty simple - just hit the "prt scr" button on your keyboard, just to the right of your F12 key. You can then open paint and hit ctrl+v or rightclick and select paste. Then it's up to you to decide wether you'd like to trim the picture with the crop tool (as i did in my post).

For OSX i had to look it up, but command + shift + 3 is the screenshot combination on it. command + shift + 4 should let you drag an area to screenshot, achieving the same result as i did but in a different way.

Failing those methods, there's specific screenshot software out there that lets you make up your own hotkey and automatically names and saves the file in a location. I used lightscreen a long time ago, and there's a portable version of that so if you want you don't even need to really install it.

(Wow, really long post to explain such a simple feature. :P)

oh okies thank you, ill have to remember that, ill post said proof if asked otherwise ill wait a bit longer to see if she responds, been a couple weeks now...and truth be told ALL the art commissioned has gone this way, s'why i find myself in a spot of weather or not to trust ANY artists anymore, the longest ive gone waiting was MFF 2011 >*<

If your using firefox you can get an add on called screengrab which helps a lot. Akadiro has posted a long detail about how to screenshot.

And wow this is pretty bad that you had to wait for nearly a year and not get it right.

as ive posted above for Akadiro - yeeeaaah......i need to stop this track record T*T
