WHO: TrickyBunnie (now known as Countess-Noir)-main account: Heavy-Inamorato

WHERE: http://countess-noir.deviantart.com/

WHAT: digital art-2 characters, Lineart-$8 in total

WHEN: August 16th 2011-present

The payment to her Paypal account- http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/AN1ME/Paypaltranscation.jpg

The note i sent to her in January, along with her reply (she replied using her main account) http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/AN1ME/herreplyfromjanuary2012copy.jpg

The final note i got from her before i didn't hear anything more from her-http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/AN1ME/lastnoteigotfromhercopy.jpg


EXPLAIN: I saw that she was doing commissions sometime last year and her prices looked pretty decent-so i sent her a note asking to commission her to draw two of my characters from my WIP project.

We then exchanged notes and i sent her the payment (this was August 2011), i then noted her sometime in 2012 asking her about the progress, she then noted me back apologizing for taking so long (i don't mind waiting for commissions as i'm quite a patient person) so i said to her it was alright.

I then noted her in March 2012 asking about the progress, she replied back saying that it just needed to be inked in and she apologized again for taking so long with the digital drawing ( and the fact she was doing two job shifts)

I noted her back saying "thanks for keeping me informed"..by then i was getting a little anxious.

Since then, i have yet to even see a work in progress of my commission....she has even gone as far as deleted her commission status on her Countess-Noir page.

EDIT-UPDATE-

Just a quick update regarding the year long commission with the artist i mentioned in the previous post.

I sent Countess-Noir a note asking for the progress of the commission and if it was possible for a refund.

An hour later, she noted me back asking me for my Paypal address (which i gave her)...and this morning, she send me my $8 dollars back.

Note regarding refund-http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/AN1ME/noteregardingrefund.jpg

Paypal-refund received!-http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/AN1ME/refund-successful.jpg

Though i'm pleased to get my money back-i won't be commissioning her ever again.
