EXPLAIN: These were suppose to be Free Art to anyone. However, those who donated would get one regaurdless and recieve a little something extra (maybe color or something).
My friend suggested him to me in a journal (which she deleted, and I didn't Screenshoot I didn't seem the harm when I trusted her judgement).
Of course, happily I donated to help.
Not really expecting it right away but within at least a month.
However, in his journals and gallery you can see he continues to take commission after commission. Never even thinking of giving back to those who graciously helped him in his time of need.
Now, I'm not really worried about it, personally.
But I thought I would write an A_B in case someone else might fall into this trap.
I have contacted him once in a journal that got deleted as well, again trying to trust them i didn't get a screenshot, he told me he would get them done within the week.
That was about 2 weeks ago.
EDIT: Got contact and an apology from the artist with a WIP shot of the picture.

Agreed to be worked out for reimbursement for the long wait.

Date: 2012-03-25 07:52 am (UTC)And the artist goes on to say, "Goal of $40 has been reached.
everyone is to be inked and flat colored (unless i fell extra work is needed with anyone's)"

Date: 2012-03-25 08:17 am (UTC)What caught my eye, also, was the newer journal asking for 'donated' fursuit material in exchange for art. With the list of still-owed pieces on it...

Date: 2012-03-25 08:20 am (UTC)Someone is nice enough to help the least you can do is return the favor.
What upsets me really is he is begging people continuously to buy him things.
Then on top of that taking commission after commission.
Payment
Date: 2012-03-25 08:03 am (UTC)Sorry here is the screencap, I only Donated literally what I had in my Paypal.
That is why I am not really worried about it.
It was only 2.50$
But I am more worried about others who had donated more and had been burned.

Date: 2012-03-27 01:27 am (UTC)And if it is a donation I don't want money back which I hardly think he has the money to give.
I just want even an apology.
no subject
Date: 2012-03-27 04:51 pm (UTC)I'm also curious if he's even aware that you posted this here?
UPDATE!!
Date: 2012-04-03 04:36 pm (UTC)Finally got a WIP sketch.
Hopefully will get it finished here soon.
Though I am happy with the detail...
More info in entry :)
