EXPLAIN: .7 months ago, we agreed to a trade. And I finished mine, as seen above. He said He'd finish his. I kept reminding him after a month later, so I waited again... he was busy. So I was like "ok~ :3" And 7 months pass. he opens many journals stating "trades open" (I only found this one) So I reminded him again. he quickly shied out.

I dont know what to do here... X__X any help?

he offered to finish it after he finished some commsions, but he keeps taking commisions and getting backed up again.
And now because of incidents like this, I CANT do trades with strangers.

Ahh yeah, I think I didn't explain it well enough then. :( I'm totally ok with the artist taking as long as they want on a piece! And while I completely appreciate an artist letting me know his or her schedule, its only that in conjunction with no refunds, regardless of why.
Anywho, I hope that better explains what I mean. I should really try to avoid trying to explain anything after 2Am. It just doesnt work for me, haha :)

Oh! No, that's not what I meant c: I think it's fine if you don't want it to take months. I was just saying it's professional that he's actually letting people know. A lot of people post here because it's been a few months because the artist never mentioned having a huge list or being that slow.

But yes, couplying it with the no refund and attitude, I'd be very turned off as well.
