I have been nice, patience, and willing to give chances but not any more. I am here today to warn all of the two artists that have more then ran away with, between the two, over $1,000.00 USD of my hard earned money. The two I am referring to is a artist named Synxirazu-niam and another by7 the name of Jace. Both of which can be found on FA. Synxirazu-niam was commissioned as of now nearly two years ago for a amount of over $500.00 USD for two comic commissions and have yet to give a single sketch of any progress of working on it. However during our transaction together he did make a small change it the format of the commission and turned it into a flash animation project, with my agreement of course. He did so and so far the only thing I have seen out of it was this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2876847/
Now then, Jace on the other hand has done the EXACT thing to me without so much as a single note, sketch, or anything about my art. He has since posted many new artworks, sketches and gift pics he has gotten or done on his FA account LOOOOONG after I have commissioned him. He was commissioned roughly around the same time I commissioned Synx, so you can agree with me that I am more then ready to give a rant about him and Synx. Jace has a bad habit of changing the subject as well when I ask him about my commissions to how he is depressed or heartbroken,. Sad to say I have even told him in these words before "I dont care about your RL drama love life, you did a business transaction with me and so I expect payment for what I have bought in terms of art. That is my thought to it, put your RL drama aside and give me what I paid for or refund me the $500.00 USD." The quote may be abit of my thought during what I really wanted to say to him, but yea, it was close to that. either way BEWARE BEEEEWARRRRE!
Ok now that LJ allowed me to post the image I have of my paypal transactions you can clearly see the amount of money I gave him back in 2009, a wowing $530.00 USD.
And heres the Jace proof of how much I paid. And as you can see I have been a very nice dragon to wait this long from Jace to not have a single sketch flipped my way. Also note the black smuged spot near his name, that is there to protect his email accounts handler so trolls wont try to go and bomb him, but that is indeed Jace.

Date: 2011-08-01 03:01 am (UTC)For someone who does not want to be involved in our community, you have suddenly decided to become quite active and comment all over the place. You have broken several of our rules in the process. (Saying the cost of a commission isn't worth a beware, insulting people, toeing the line of being a troll.)
You have been warned multiple times to read and follow our rules (http://artists-beware.livejournal.com/profile). I see further down that you have apologized for your behavior. I appreciate that, and I hope you will follow through on that. However, I want to officially let you know that if you continue to break our rules, you will receive a two-week ban. Being upset about being posted on here is one thing, but going around to multiple posts and breaking the rules there is unacceptable.

Date: 2011-08-02 01:46 am (UTC)Yes, it's different for everyone, but if his/her fibro is bad to the point of not even being able to draw and the like, they shouldn't be taking commissions in the first place.

Date: 2011-08-01 04:34 pm (UTC)And holy crap. I agree with yoka_neko below; because of the sheer amount of money spent, you should probably take it to small claims or at least threaten legal action.

Date: 2011-08-02 04:41 pm (UTC)500 dollars is a lot of money, probably worth a lot of beware posts and a bad internet reputation to these artists. I'm sorry for your loss but at least you can take away a learning experience from this, no? From now on I'd not only research more into the artists you commission, but when dealing with such a large amount of money I'd only pay in installments. Negotiate a fair payment plan with the artist in question, and if they insist on everything up front, don't go forward with the transaction. Say, pay a fraction of the total cost as down-payment first, to cover materials and time for preliminary sketches, and as the project progresses, you pay further.
About Synx.
Date: 2012-08-23 02:42 pm (UTC)He'll do you scraps if your 'family' but before he had a job [Now he has one since Ive posted this.] he basically milked people like me, his 'Brother' for constant food and supply stuffs through paypal, started off as a few bucks, then it got upto about $180.
Note - Still bought himself games like Skyrim and such, funny how thats a needed supply?
Now he agreed do me and my girlfriends ref sheets for it, so I thought ok.
Now Im still waiting for the actual finished ref sheets since his colouring was sloppy, not even FINISHED the adult sheet and now I am reliant on a close friend fix up the sloppy job he's done.
And he lies consistantly, told me done all the linework after 2 weeks away at work, come home, he's done one body pose and thats it, I work 2 weeks away at my job at a time and he just doesnt bother with you unless you either had more tips on standby [10-20 bucks again] to get him actually working.
Also recently had a kid, so he can get state benefits added onto his lifestyle.
Still owes me at least $60-$80 in refund and an apologie to my girlfriend for lieing about doing her sheet, I have the works as he's done on my HD if proof is needed, getting the rundown charges of my paypal, now that be a pain but grabable from archives.
Also he is trying run his sales through his 'Sister' Folsehs now on another account - dont give up your money, the deal seems too good be true and it really, REALLY is.
FA should simply flatout ban his type as a debt mongerer.
