EXPLAIN: I fell in love with SiliasCrown's work when I first saw it, I thought they seemed to be a trust worthy artist because they seemed to pump out art like nobody's business. So they opened for emergency commissions, which was killing two birds with one stone, I was about to commission someone I've idolised and it was to help them when they were in need. So I commissioned them, the ordering went without a hitch and I began on the waiting process. The original time of wait was estimated to be about roughly a month.
A month and more went by and I saw nothing, eventually, thinking I've given enough time I asked for an update, what's going on, how long I'm going to have to wait. I got a note back eventually saying an excuse and that they'd do it in so many days. I was like okay, that's understandable, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The time went by, I gave it a lot longer before I messaged, again giving time then I finally got another response, with guess what another excuse. It happened like this over and over again until I eventually asked for a refund. Have not heard anything since. Have left messages but nothing. This started 20th of feb 2013 and its now 12/10/2014 its been long over a year. I do not have any art, no sketch, no preview, no refund all I got is shoddy excuses and no communication since the last link. I believe this person should NOT be commissioned they are unreliable will give you every excuse under the sun and just never get back to you. I will never commission them again.
Update: Found out he's been on tumblr and posting art he's been doing throughout the whole time I've been waiting for my commission. Look at this. Tumblr is NSFW http://madcarnival.tumblr.com/tagged/madcarnival/

MOD COMMENT
Date: 2014-10-18 02:20 am (UTC)Rather than reject again and make you resubmit, can you edit your dropbox links to https://dl.dropbox instead of https://www.dropbox? That way the screencaps can be readable to our members better.
Also, you copied in a bit of LJ's rejection for.

Date: 2014-10-18 06:20 am (UTC)So just edit each link at the start. Where the www normally is, put in dl instead. For instance, to get to the fullsize of the paypal screencap, you would use this URL instead of what you have: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/x8hja5k1m0nv5v1/PAYPAL PROOF.png?dl=0

Date: 2014-10-18 04:09 am (UTC)He's very active on his tumblr (madcarnival) and when I told him way back when that people were looking for him, he told me to direct them to his tumblr so they could send him an ask there.
His art is beautiful and he's very quick at getting it done when he actually gets going, but his work ethic is less than great. I really wish I could say it was better.

Date: 2014-10-18 06:46 am (UTC)I actually haven't been in contact with him for a few months. Without getting into details, his lack of communication is actually a big reason why we're no longer together. It isn't just customers he has trouble keeping up to date, it extends to his friends and everyone else too.
