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

I'd like to mention that I entered the same Iron Artist queue back when it opened on Weasyl. After grabbing a slot, I researched her and found the many Artist Bewares posted about her work practices. I didn't feel comfortable staying in the queue after that, and requested being taken off of it. I'd just sent payment as well. I emailed her and tried to cancel the commission. Unfortunately what I received in response was rude. She said I had to find someone to take my slot, which I don't even understand. Then she said she would only refund half of the payment. I disagreed with this since she was keeping half of my money for absolutely zero work done. I then proceeded to do a Paypal chargeback and now I'm banned from commissioning her in the future. That's fine with me though, considering how she treats her commissioners.
