Advice with this commission

[kirinafa.livejournal.com]

WHO: Will keep private in case situation is resolved

WHERE: Furbuy

WHAT: Inked two character colored with background.

WHEN: June 10, 2012

PROOF: http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6003/proofjtk.png

EXPLAIN: I bought this commission on furbuy about a month ago. I sent payment right away, and he said he will be working on it at anthrocon. I sent a note every two weeks asking for a update. He kept giving me excuses about being sick, and even asked me who i was since he had forgotten about me. He didn't even have me on his commission list, and was posting art that he got commissioned to doing at anthrocon. I finally sent him a note asking i be put on the top of his list, since it was before the convention commissions he took on. He did so, and finally sent me a draft yesterday. Everything looked fine, and today he gave me the final. Except one thing, its not colored. If you look at the above image of the auction, it clearly sais colored. Or maybe i am misunderstanding it?

I sent him a email asking if he is going to color it and i received this as a reply:
This one was just for the inked image. (link of auction) will be sending it in the mail once you give me an address.

And i replied with:
"Inked adult commission of two characters colored with background. "
It sais colored?

I'm not sure what to do from here. I am waiting on a reply from him. Any advice would help.

WHAT: 4 full colour, fullbody pictures (1 is completed) and 1 flat colour bust. traded for 2 shirts totalling 42 dollars.

EXPLAIN: Commissioned her, at the time her paypal account was closed. So we traded art for shirts. She is great to deal with right up untill she gets paid. Then the real fun begins. She has already stated many times that she does not care about artist beware as it paints an unfair picture of her. Well, I suggest to anyone reading this, dont fall for it. Find another artist!


Edit: I have since been put on her block list on FA, so looks like my refund or art will be quickly coming........
Edit: hmm, not sure what this giant space down here is about, I can not delete it......
