Zephriam

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

WHO:
Zephriam on DeviantART.
Zephriam on FurAffinity.
And another FurAffinity account.

Zephriam on Furcadia, among many other alts. I am not sure what alts she has currently, because she's a known trader, but I know she won't part with Zephriam, and I know some alt names are listed in the thread below.

WHERE: Art trade between me and her turned commission.

WHAT: She asked for character lineart. Agreed price was $12.00. Art can be viewed here.

WHEN: 2010. Image was originally submitted on my old deviantART account in August 2010.

PROOF: Screenshots of notes are provided here. I am the OP, Lau.

EXPLAIN: Originally, this started as an art trade. Then we decided she'd pay me 12 dollars paypal for the art. And then she never paid, and when I tried to contact her about it, repeatedly, she always never had the money or had some sort of crisis. While commissioning and paying other artists. I didn't want to resort to this but I see no other options. All details are explained in the thread linked in "Proof".



EDIT: Added DA/FA links.
EDIT 2: Added the new FA link as well.

Maybe it would be best if you listed the alt names she is under? There are quite a few of them posted in the thread.

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

I didn't list them because I didn't know which ones were still current beyond Zephriam and Jassica. She's really good at having an alt for a week and then selling it, it seems like.

I know she's had... Tinct, Red Paw, Reptilian, Hunger, and a few others, but I really don't know if she's sold them or not yet.

I read the whole thread x_x she is horrible, I know you've already given up but I wish and all the artists luck on getting your money back. I dunno if threatening with legal actions might help or even how to go about it but if you know or have a family lawyer of sorts even for the small amount I'd take some sort of action.

Also you didn't need to make a LJ account to post here, if you have social networks you can log in from there like I do with twitter.

Read the whole thing and wow. Avoiding her like the plague. I hope she never comes to FA -_- Beware well warranted.

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

EDIT AGAIN. Oh holy Christ totally different person. Removed because they have NOTHING to do with this. The names were really close and I got confused because they've been brought up together before.


MY BAD.

Read through most of it, but wow. 2 years now and she still couldn't fork over $12, but went around commissioning others? I second, Cyiakanami and hope she never comes by FA.

I'm sorry you got scammed out of your pay.

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't understand it either. ): I also edited the journal entry to add her FA.

[copper-curls.livejournal.com]

I'm with Cyiakanami and Tropicalblaze... that is a train-wreck indeed.

[mistresswolf.livejournal.com]

I read the whole thread. If she couldn't pay you the $12 she promised... and seems to be having so much trouble getting a hold of, why wouldn't she just do her half of the trade like you originally agreed? That would have made the most sense.

Then she goes on to commission more people? Don't commission people if you don't have any money! Jeez.

Sorry you got scammed like that.

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

I added an edit to the journal providing proper links to her DeviantART and her FurAffinity accounts. I don't know if she knows of this thread or not, though if she checks the FurcArtZone thread, I'm sure she'll find it.

[lyrium-otogi.livejournal.com]

Just to let people here know, she has been up to no good once again. Another thread was created about her with new alt names she uses on Furcadia. http://www.furcartzone.com/index.php?topic=17355.0

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

I was just about to post that. But you beat me to it. xD

[lyrium-otogi.livejournal.com]

Ha! Yeah, I am pretty quick with things. Gingerbread Lady there on FAZ.

My thread on getting scammed by her. Pish... I'm honesty mad at the fact that she thinks I am to blame for everything and that I am greedy.... Considering that she talked a $10 commissions artist down to $2.5.......

[lyrium-otogi.livejournal.com]

Oh, it appears she has another FA account under the name leatherdemon [https://www.furaffinity.net/user/leatherdemon/ ]. She is also trying to cut her losses on Furcadia and making the move to Second Life, info found from her facebook page which one can find if you just search for Zephriam Blackwing.

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

Added that link to the main entry as well. Thank you.

[zombieyaoi.livejournal.com]

She's apparently deactivated her DeviantART accounts. Dunno about the FurAffinity ones.
