artists_bewareI had to give this a long think before deciding to post here. A friend suggested I should, so here goes:
Nearly 3 years ago, I commissioned http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tinyfoxtaur aka http://www.furaffinity.net/user/gafoxtaur for an expensive commission. I've since paid it in full; a total of $500 for a 4-page comic. He has since finished the linework. Since then, trying to reach him is like pulling teeth. He has yet to finish coloring my commission. The few times I was fortunate to finally chat with him on YIM, he seemed very apologetic and kept promising me to finish it. Since then, nothing.
I understand my friend and others are in the same boat, waiting for him to finish their art. I don't know if his schedule prevents him from finishing his obligations, but come on! Three years for mine? I'm not asking for my money back, I just want him to finish what he promised.
Here are the PayPal receipts:

Date: 2011-02-14 08:48 pm (UTC)I pulled his information, but wikifur says he was born in 67'. Makes me wonder if he is still kicking.

Date: 2011-02-14 09:01 pm (UTC)"I gave him a timeline in the assumption he was genuine. However as more than one victim has since surfaced and a continuous refusal to redeem. He may be a good artist but he this is not a good business. People simply
need to know what they're buying into with this artist. I don't believe or trust his promises any more. And people shouldn't commission him until he gets his business straight and delivers what he was paid for."
I've never heard of this particular artist before, but there may be a history behind this which might need looking into.

Date: 2011-02-14 09:54 pm (UTC)It sounds to me like perhaps a smalls claims court thing might be in order. [but I don't know about that. ]

Date: 2011-02-14 09:45 pm (UTC)Since he still owes me art as well. I paid him in full, and have since sent him a note asking for at least an update. And his notes have been left unread.
I know he's still active, and he's still asking for commissions.
It's been a year for me waiting. I know others have waited longer.
[edited to add]
I have saved all my convos with him on Fa, if links, or something is needed, I'll be happy to provide them. Please know I am a Very patient person, When I know what is going on. But if someone chooses to ignore, then I'm not so patient.

Date: 2011-02-15 08:29 pm (UTC)If not that, then keep trying to get a hold of him, or even just threaten the suit. Sometimes knowing someone is just considering doing it is enough to kick someone in the butt y'know?
