Artists Beware: dirt-chomp / dust-bite

[vindictiivespet.livejournal.com]

WHO: dirt-chomp / dust-bite

WHERE: FA; https://www.furaffinity.net/user/dirt-chomp
DA; http://dust-bite.deviantart.com/
Tumblr; http://blog.orange-zombie.com/

WHAT: One Full body, two chara -discounted- piece. Total of $50

WHEN: The piece was ordered on Jun 3rd, 2013 (7ish months ago). On August 21st, 2013, she posted a journal (via FA) mentioning time away due to family issues at home. Journal post here; https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4979554/ That was her last journal on FA. But she has been active on both DA & Tumblr all the way through today.

PROOF: The only note(s) that were made; http://i.imgur.com/HFz7MLB.png she posted a rough sketch of the piece, but that was all I ever received.
Noted on FA, no response.
Noted on DA no response; http://i.imgur.com/7TJE24l.png
Messaged on Tumblr, no response.

EXPLAIN: The art was never done/received =/
It has been about 7 months since I ordered it. I understood that things with life had come up, but from seeing both her DA & her tumblr, its obvious she is still online regularly. Even still doing others art/taking commissions regularly. I messaged approx 5 times trying to get any sort of response. Nothing.
I didn't want to post an A_B on her, as she is an awesome artist, but I am sad that she did this, and I don't want others getting put into the same situation.


***UPDATE: 1/4/2014
DirtChomp has replied via Tumblr with the finished work.

She has not read any of my notes. I have noted her on fa, da, and tumblr. She has not opened any of them. But she continues to post things on tumblr.

Have you started a trouble ticket on her in FA? If not, I highly suggest it. Sadly, some artists need the banhammer held over their heads before they decide to do the right thing and do the work they owe.

Actually, no I have not, but I will go do that now. Thank you!

How about shouting publicly on their page. That usually kicks them in the pants too.

I've always been a bit wary on shouting on people walls. I've seen so much drama arise from it. But yeah, I guess that would be another step to take. I'll move onto that now.
Thanks hun.

I always use them as an absolute LAST resort. It's not cool to bring private maters public but when all else fails and your being blatantly ignored it's only fair to call them out.

True enough, this problem is resolved, but I will def remember that for next time -please I hope I never have a next time- c.c

Assuming you didn't already, don't forget to close your ticket on FA. :3
