Artist Beware: Dogbone - Iron Artists

[williamca.livejournal.com]

WHO: Dogbone, Dogboneartwork, Leachymonster, Rainbowjokerhound
WHERE: www.weasyl.com/profile/dogbone and www.inkbunny.net/dogboneartwork


WHAT: 20$ Iron Artist Commission back in February

WHEN:  February 12, 2014
Payment was sent same day
Trouble started recently, after she blocked me on twitter cutting off a line of communication. She had responded to me on Inkbunny before this. Along with when I questioned her about blocking me after this

PROOF:
Weasyl Journal (archived incase of deletion) https://archive.today/ROnfW showing I had obtained a slot. I was requested to send money to her email.

Contact requesting update on the IA sketches http://puu.sh/bhPlI/adefcb24b2.png
Shortly after I noticed she had blocked me I contacted her again, and received a snappy response just wondering if the situation had changed since she was cutting off a line of communication suddenly. http://puu.sh/bhPvp/d26a58a8b5.png

EXPLAIN:
I had contacted her on Inkbunny in regards to this. Shortly after she blocked me on twitter which signaled to me she had no desire to finish my sketch. Mind you this was commissioned over half a year ago now. As of current none of the Inkbunny or Weasyl IA sketches have been posted. She has claimed a few times in streams they are being worked on.

I feel I have been more than lenient, but half a year is not acceptable. Not when she continues to take on more new work continuously.

9/7/2014 UPDATE Dogbone insists the Iron Artists are being worked on. Stating it was a lack of communication on Weasyl... Except it was on Inkbunny and I think she blocked me there after the second request of an update. http://puu.sh/boTlh/081aea240c.png

Dogbone has absolutely no sense of professionalism. I still remember when she was posted last and she reacted immaturely and things have not changed it seems.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see her coming here on this post and starting arguments like she did in other posts about her. (Unless she's banned from A_B, of course)

I don't think she even has a sense of believable lines when she's scamming people, let alone actual professionalism.

She strung me along for something like one or two years on a $5 sketch that I didn't make too big a deal over because, I mean, it was $5. Just the principle of the thing was bugging me, though, so I would send her pokes every few months just because I wanted closure more than anything else. And one time her excuse was, "Oh, yeah, I actually posted that a while ago, it's in my gallery, maybe you missed it? :3" (spoiler: it wasn't, and I didn't, because it wasn't.) Did she not think that was a thing I would ... you know ... check? Was I supposed to say, "Oh, well, I don't remember ever seeing it but if she says it's in there, that's good enough for me! I don't need to look for the picture for me I bought and paid for or anything, just her word that it's in there somewhere is all I need. Putting her in the positive review post right now! :D" What was she expecting to happen, exactly? That isn't even rhetorical; I am genuinely curious.

Honestly, I think the other big reason I didn't raise too much of a stink over it at the time is because it was almost worth the $5 just to experience that and have that story to tell. Now I can say that she actually tried to use that one on me. Just, wow.

I'm surprised you haven't received more replies to this.

Trying to tell you it was uploaded when she knew it wasn't is just so wrong. I mean she couldn't have just dropped you a link to it if it was uploaded?

What a bald-face lie!

Her art is good, but attitude towards customers not so much :/
