Beware of RainbowJokerHound / Dog-Bone

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

Edit of an Edit! She sent me.. $10.. when.. I paid her $6. :/ I'm sending $4 back, I don't need extra money, and I refuse to take it.
Edit: She sent me this very lovely note: http://i52.tinypic.com/14tuf7n.jpg
Now this lovely LiveJournal entry: http://pics.livejournal.com/lackoflollies/pic/00003pcw
My first REAL post, bear with me. Yes, I am AuroraBorealia.
WHO: RainbowJokerHound / Dog-Bone

WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rainbowjokerhound/
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/dog-bone

WHAT: 2 $3 icons when she was having some kind of offer, journal is here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2120709/
It has been capped in case she deletes or modifies it.

WHEN: It had been a month or two before I noticed trouble. I asked for updates, first she said her desktop computer or laptop was not working and she was unable to do digital art, but she had been submitting digital works while stating that. So, again I asked for updates after I presumed it was fixed, and she got VERY rude with me, stating I had to wait my turn just like everybody else. As of then, she has been continually submitting things digitally, and ignoring me when I asked for updates. NOW she's saying I never paid her.

Edit: She saw my paypal screenshot and apologized for saying that, so that's situated. Everything else, however is still valid.
This journal she says she owes me two icons, and my unanswered comment about updates.

PROOF: http://i54.tinypic.com/r0v3o1.png Paypal transaction proving I sent the money for this.

EXPLAIN: I commissioned her in February because I had wanted some new icons, and noticed she was open. So I sent off my details via PM, and sent her the $6. I wanted for a month noticed she had completed every one else before me. I aske dher how my icons were coming once, and she said she was anable to do digital work because her computer was broken and she lost the files, I said alright and went on my merry way, I figured things would look up. A month or so later, maybe more, I notice she started submitting again, and when I asked for an update I got a nasty PM stating I needed to wait my turn just like every one else. Once I find the screenshot of this I will add it into the post.

It is now July, and i've flat out asked for my money back. However, she is now stating I never paid her, which in the above screenshot, and based on the paypal in her journal, I totally did. This is the first time i've ever had issues with an artist, so I waited WAY too long to file a dispute, let alone properly save and record messages pertaining to this due to being a victim of FA leaks, I delete my PMs regularly, so i'm desperately searching for proof i DID get to add to this post.

So, this is just a little beware to avoid this artist.

From now on, take anything commission-related straight to emails. Furaffinity is both too cluttered note-wise and too unreliable/unstable to rely on for things you pay money for. With email, you can slap on labels and keep everything easy to find just for stuff like this.

Second, I'm looking to do some example icons, how about you send me some refs?

[fuzibuni.livejournal.com]

She is very immature. Some time ago I paid her $40 for a set of couples badges... It took me over a year to get them, and I only got one badge at that point and had given up. I would have posted her to here, but I've lost access to the email account the emails were on so I saw it as pointless.

I could pull up some of the notes though if needed.

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

After her, I e-mail every artist. x_x

Aww you don't haveta do that :c I appreciate the offer though.

[kayla-la.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? It's something I've been meaning to do anyway (I don't have ANY recent icon examples for commissioners to look at) so it really wouldn't be putting me out!

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

she said she'd get them done when she 'got home'. At first, I said I wanted them in a week, but she's not even read my note yet, so I said screw it and told I flat out want my money back, and she doesn't deserve a week long extension when I wanted five months. It's rude, but at this point i've lost all patience with her. It's just $6, so she should have no problems.

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

x_x If you're sure.. I just hate the feeling like i'm imposing even if you say i'm not, do you have an e-mail I can shoot them at? I haveta get to work here in a minute

[kayla-la.livejournal.com]

It's no problem! Really! Haha, I wouldn't offer if I didn't mean it.

Send any and all refs and info to danimissions@gmail.com , please!

[fuzibuni.livejournal.com]

I kept hearing that as well... When I feel up to it I may dig up everything I have on her and make a post as well.

[teahound.livejournal.com]

That's a big accusation to make without proof.

[gaturguts.livejournal.com]

Is there proof of this?
I'm not defending her, but a rumor like that without proof is harsh.

[cesarin.livejournal.com]

I agree, no idea why some people still want to push for notes..

I've had 30 bucks stolen from me by someone on FA. Pocketbatinc. 6 dollars is nothing to be upset about.

[erkgloom.livejournal.com]

I wish there were more people like you around...

(frozen)

[kayla-la.livejournal.com]

Knock it off.

(frozen)

[erkgloom.livejournal.com]

what'd I do? I just thought I'd relate a little bit. Sorry.

(frozen)

[kayla-la.livejournal.com]

You're being intentionally obnoxious in many comment threads on several posts and trying to start trouble. It will only be tolerated for so long. I'm asking you politely to stop.

For the record, don't tell someone six dollars doesn't matter. Any amount of money that is stolen matters, and AB doesn't discriminate on amount.

It's not about the value of what wasn't delivered, it's that the artist didn't deliver in the first place. Frankly $30 isn't that much, either, but you still have a right to post here with a beware.

I'd love to however Im really keen on abandoning this particular community group on livejournal because of the type of arguments it tends to generate. they get so low-brow sometimes that its hard to tell if its all staged. beyond that, it leads to hurt feelings and spread negativity, which the world does not need.

/rant

and I apologize to Kayla for my comments

(frozen)

[erkgloom.livejournal.com]

a valid point, and I am sincerely sorry

(frozen)

[commodoremarie.livejournal.com]

Um... sure? I was not commenting on anything other than the fact that $6 is plenty to warrant a post here.

[tailsxfoxxninja.livejournal.com]

i know her personaly i find it weird that this has happend since i have never seen nor heard any trouble so i will talk to her

[gaturguts.livejournal.com]

Huh? Why?

[flynxflink.livejournal.com]

I've known her for a tad bit and I've seen how she is with commissions. She takes on so much then doesn't hardly deliver. I think maybe she gets bored with it and she takes on more then completes the ones she newly gotten then works on personal pieces. DIGITAL personal pieces. I'm not sure if she DOES have a computer or not, but a digital pieces is a digital pieces and it's not hard to work on a few commission than gift pieces and new commissions when there is a crap ton of others to be done.

[flynxflink.livejournal.com]

you may need to, she is SO backed up on art yet she still accepts commissions and such and does them then goes back to personal digital art.
