Update: Taking SilverFoxx420/GhettoImmortal to small claims court.

I posted earlier with my ongoing issues with trying to get a refund or commission for  $600 from SilverFoxx420/GhettoImmortal. After sending her a message regarding her recent commission work and a possible payment plan, I waited two weeks before sending her a final resolution request. She was informed of my intention to take the commission issue to court if she would not provide a resolution plan. She responded saying that I should take her to court.


It was at this time she uploaded the only physical work I've seen her complete for this commission in the entire five and a half years it was in progress. She also was able to respond to my message in one evening, but was unable to do so prior for the past two weeks or ever before.
It's entirely unfortunate that this commission has gone this way, but there appears to be no other way to regain losses.

She's probably bluffing under the not-entirely-unreasonable assumption that no one actually goes through the trouble of suing artists. Lots of people threaten it, very few actually do it.

That's probably the most reasonable reason behind it. I've seen legal threats at least three times that I can think of out of this comm alone. It's still pretty stupid.

Her whole message struck me as guilty trippy and arrogant. Flat out telling the commissioner you don't care about their artwork and basically saying "BRING IT ON. TRY TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF ME NYA NYA"? Beware needed.
