Subject: Artist Beware: Commissioner fr0stbit3 also known as Wyldfire

WHO: fr0stbit3 or Wyldfire

WHERE: Commission was taken via twitter and google docs. Communication was done through email.

WHAT: Wing-it Chibi Commission

WHEN: Initial commission form was completed 3/21, commission was completed 5/18, final changes to the image were completed 5/19
(should be noted that these are generally completed faster but I was envoled in a car accident)

PROOF: All screenshots and art will be posted below

EXPLAIN:

On 3/21 I took my 4th batch of chibi commissions, this being one of them. Commissioner provided their details and paid promptly. Commission cost $50.



Here is the screenshot of the commission form splashpage.

Please note the guidelines and the examples.

On 5/18 I emailed the completed commission to Fr0stbit3. Here is the response.

At this point I figured the commissioner was not as happy as they could have been, but I did the work as described and figured the commission complete. The commissioner agreed that he would take the commission as is. He seemed fine with it and then asked about me making changes. I let him know the cost of re-sketching, re-inking and re-coloring those areas to his specifications.

This is where communication went downhill. After I let him know the costs for changes he became frustrated with the cost and I explained that characters are simplified as part of the commission.

You can see in the screencaps that the commissioner continues to become more irate as time went on and I contiued to re-state my TOS. Finally, the emails came to a point where they were causing me stress and distracting me from work so rather than argue more, I went ahead and made the requested changes free of charge.

I enformed him of the TOS: http://imgur.com/IRswaqU

My email in return explaining my reasoning and letting him know to not commission me again: http://imgur.com/fXrHStv

The client then emailed me back with the image and circled all of the errors in the image.

Email about the errors: http://imgur.com/D1h7Jqo

After this, there were a few more rude emails so I stopped responding.

I have NEVER had bad experience with other artists in the past. You were the first one and the first thing you did was complain on twitter. I can gather comments from other artists I commissioned and they will say I was great to work with. Also thank you for slandering me. I had one of my most anticipated artists refund me explicitly because of what you posted. So thank you for ruining my chances with him

Never had bad experiences? What about with me where you pulled this exact same stunt to a T.

Maybe other artists you've worked with don't know their rights and are just more prone to do anything a commissioner asks because they are afraid, but you have tried breaking TOS with me and then tried making claims about me (that I knew you were underage at the time you commissioned me for porn, even though I have proof to the contrary because I keep logs).

Trying to guilt trip OP isn't really helping your case re: nobody giving you a chance to fix things.

Yeah, sorry - no. I recall an incident where you caused some trouble with another artist (someone you didn't even commission) based on a color palette auction she had up and running, at the time.

You also had an issue with me after I refused to take a commission from you (my decision being based on how you attacked the aforementioned artist).

Even though I complimented your work

Compliment my work all you want - treating other artists like shit because you don't agree with how they conduct their business (in the case I'm referring to - criticizing how much they were charging for a color customizable adoptable) gave me plenty reason to refuse/block you.

Got the links to prove your behavior, if you're interested in having a reminder (someone grabbed screencaps of the journal before you deleted it).

We don't mind people mentioning they may have had a bad experience, but ultimately we're trying to keep this post focused on Tojo's issues, so please don't share caps here. If you'd like to discuss it with them further feel free to take it to PMs!
