artists_bewareWHO: absinthe stellary
WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/stellary/
WHAT: 4 full colour, fullbody pictures (1 is completed) and 1 flat colour bust. traded for 2 shirts totalling 42 dollars.
WHEN: Originally commissioned June 2011, problems started 3 months later.

EXPLAIN: Commissioned her, at the time her paypal account was closed. So we traded art for shirts. She is great to deal with right up untill she gets paid. Then the real fun begins. She has already stated many times that she does not care about artist beware as it paints an unfair picture of her. Well, I suggest to anyone reading this, dont fall for it. Find another artist!
Edit: I have since been put on her block list on FA, so looks like my refund or art will be quickly coming........
Edit: hmm, not sure what this giant space down here is about, I can not delete it......

Date: 2012-07-18 03:54 am (UTC)You have two real options that I can see:
1. Keep on this path, taking all of these commissions *BUT* (and I cannot stress this enough!!!) doing the work you take on. You always say that your life is busy, but listen - I work 40 hours a week at one job, 10ish at a second, 4 at a third, and 5 at a fourth and I still take time to do things for myself. The reason that I can do this is because of *time management.* If you need someone to help you set up a plan to follow, then do it. And then stick to it.
2. Raise your prices so that you can make ends meet with less work for yourself. So for this you did what? 2 busts and 2 full images for $40? Do the busts for $40 a piece or something. You now get the same amount of money and only have to do ONE thing.
A third option that I'm sure a lot of people would like to see happen is you stop taking commissions all together. Since your life gets so crazy all the time, then you should SERIOUSLY consider this option as well.
