What: A full colored commission
When: Going on for close to a year now
Explain: Well in October I was recommended by a friend to check out her art which I did and I brought a commission from her at the time because she was open and had reasonable prices. So she posted a journal (which she deleted) saying she was giving a special on pics for $25. this my transaction http://imageshack.us/f/838/incidentone.jpg/
In November I got tired of waiting and looked at her Commission Queue to my surprise my name wasn't there for a commission so I contacted her which went well and reasonable. So after a few days (again...) a new journal was posted saying she was taking new art and such. So then of course another journal posted about an art block. Later that week other people art was posted and still my name wasn't added to the queue. So I was fed up with it and filed a refund because I was tired of waiting and being ignored. So of course instead a well way to settle stuff in a mature manner I got a rage note saying "No I'm not refunding you your money its not my problem this was well hard earn money so don't give me the BS''. She made threats to me as well saying she was going to sue me.shown here http://imageshack.us/f/545/incident5.jpg/
Recently she has went MIA from her account with more people money she begged for a tablet and she has left her account without doing people art. shown here http://imageshack.us/f/600/scammerza.jp
She recently returned with pics of tattoos she has gotten along with a journal full of rage against those who were very unhappy with her taking too long and felt she used the commission money she owe to get the tattoos http://imageshack.us/f/268/rudeness.jpg/
This issue has been resolve. She has refunded my money so no need to comment here anymore.

Though sadly it seems it's still not a generally given thing that you don't spend the money from commissions until the work is done so people seem to get themselves stuck when they spend the money and then take a long time to do the art and people ask for refunds.
However it is, beware well warranted and I certainly won't be commissioning this person. x__x

Buh -_- Beware well warranted.

Date: 2012-02-12 12:14 am (UTC)Especially this bit:
Refunds
I will not give refunds. All money goes towards bills and other living expenses that are important to me. Unless you are in a financial emergency, you will not receive a refund from me. If you do have a financial emergency, I will try to refund you by replacing your slot. But there are still no guarantees. So please, DO NOT ask me for refunds, EVER. unless you truly need it I take a while to do my work, longer then other artists but I ALWAYS provide work, ask that for people that have commissioned me in the past.

Date: 2012-02-12 12:59 am (UTC)What bothers me the most is the way the artist is blaming their commissioners for wanting a refund when their art isn't delivered. It is not their hard earned money, it's the commissioner's. What they want to spend it on is their own damn business. I've never seen an artist feel so entitled to a commissioner's money when they aren't doing the work. The artist's financial situation is not their customer's business, let alone their responsibility!
I am glad that the artist seems receptive to change, but this beware is very valid, and I certainly wouldn't commission them for a very long time!

I'm so sorry you had to go through this, OP.

Date: 2012-02-12 03:05 am (UTC)People are always very quick to point the finger at someone else until THEY'RE the ones being burned by a transaction of some sort (Referring to the comments her watchers are leaving on her journal).
I'm really not sure who to be more disgusted with at this point- her and her shoddy attitude and business practices, or her watchers who think that "just because she's a talented artist she can walk all over the people who pay her to do a job". It never ceases to amaze me how people can look past someone's wrong-doings just because they can draw. :\ Why is it so damned difficult to put yourself in someone else's shoes for two freakin' seconds instead of lashing out and making whiny, childish journals and leave comments about something that has absolutely nothing to do with you?
I was going to give her props for changing her TOS to accommodate customers who wanted refunds, but after seeing the way she's attempted to make the unsatisfied customer the bad guy in her latest journal, I've changed my mind. I think both her AND some of her watchers have some growing up to do.
From the looks of it, instead of trying to resolve the issue in a way that would make her look, you know, professional, she's trying to get the OP to take down the post to "avoid being hammered by more rude comments".

If she did this sort of thing with a professional client like a company, you can bet they'll fire her and probably try to get their money back if she was paid in advance. Just because some of her watchers claim she's a "professional", doesn't actually mean she's a professional.
