Good news! She got back to me via e-mail and firstly, since she's a friend I was relieved she's alright, but moreover, she's making things right and being very gracious and professional. I'm just really happy this is being resolved and wanted to make sure everyone knows she's making good on everything :3

I feel ya. We all make mistakes. I really do love the pic of Klandagi
in repose you did but I have one teensy correction for you: the tip of
her tail isn't white ^^;; Everything else is spot on! :DD I really
appreciated it though ^^ *nods* I see you as a friend, but this just
happens to be a business transaction, that's all :)

I think I'll go with the commission, the pic, and the 75 bucks as
it'll prolly go to our new rescue kitten's next vet bill for when he
gets neutered X3 That would help a lot :)
This would be great though, I'd really appreciate it! I DO have a new
mailing addy so here it is for you:
me
my mailing addy
phone # is blah blahblah
email and paypal addy is klandagi.art@gmail.com aka THIS one ;3

Aw, dude your art is awesome, don't be afraid or sell yourself short :)

prayers are with you *hugs*
