This is a follow up posting to my previous entries seen here:

I am mostly posting this to advise others that this artist has not refunded me or the other people she owes and has in fact, skipped accounts, while claiming that she has no inspiration and can't meet her obligations.

PROOF:
On Nov. 4th, 2013, Nathradas posts this journal explaining her situation.
Feeling pretty fed up at this point, I do post a response because I've really had enough of this, especially when I've only found out about her leaving the internet "forever" months after the fact.
At the beginning of July, this year, a personal friend of Nathradas sends me a private message informing me of her new accounts. I have edited out the username and any incriminating details as per the user's request.
Another person who knows Nathradas in person messages me on Twitter to inform me that she is at EF, taking commissions, and is using her new username on FA as well as Weasyl and Tumblr.
I fire a note over to her on Weasyl, this note has still gone unread.
I tried messaging her on FA, this note has still gone unread.
The second comment I have left on her userpage- the first one was deleted within a week of it's posting and I neglected to screencap it as proof.

EXPLAIN:
I have been pursuing this transaction for just over three years with very, very little success. This artist has ignored correspondence, taken on commissions while still owing others work and/or refunds, and then has gone so far as to abandon her previous account and responsibilities to start anew with a new username.

At this point, I just want others to be very much aware of this person's business practices and to think twice about paying Nathradas for art because there's a huge possibility that they will never see their art or a refund.

[edit]I have been blocked from her page.

This is a follow up posting to my previous entry seen here:

As of my writing this, I have yet to receive any sort of refund and have had hardly any communication from Nathradas in regards to the owed refund. It is only because this artist is continuing to take commissions via Flight Rising and is blatantly ignoring correspondence, that I felt the need to submit an update.

PROOF:
The complete collection of our e-mail correspondence from June to November.
Nathradas stating that commissions are on hold due to the state of her health and other life issues.
Starting up a donation drive in order to pay for her life expenses, I highly doubt that any of this will be going towards those of us who are still awaiting a refund.
Nathradas opens up for commissions on Flight Rising[original thread here], despite owing people both artwork and refunds.

EXPLAIN:
I have been pursuing this for well over a year now and have been met with constant excuses and/or silence from Nathradas' end. She has stated that she cannot send out commission files due to complications, is without internet, and that she cannot work on commissions, while still posting to FA, uploading and working upon donation drive pieces[NSFW], and now she is taking commissions for in-game items on Flight Rising on top of being fairly active on the site during a good portion of the time she has claimed to be without internet access, and has been creating and uploading FR themed works.

At this point, I'm starting to wonder if I will ever see my refund and I honestly feel as though I, as well as others, have been given a complete runaround by this artist.

WHERE: ON FurAffinity via notes and through e-mails.

WHAT: It was a SKETCH for $35. I know that seems a bit pricey for a sketch but I really liked their style and I figured they would draw my chara epicly.

WHEN: April 14th, 2013

PROOF:
This started out on one of Nathradas' streams. I should have taken a screen shot then but I didn't, thinking that there WOULDN'T be any problems in getting what I want. She said to e-mail me the form and so, I did.

And here is proof I sent payment:

And she said mine will be drawn tomorrow! So I was excited.

EXPLAIN: I commissioned this artist thinking that they'd do my character justice so after waiting for the next day for the stream... That never came. So, I was patient since I did say that there was no deadline for my commission but after receiving not a single message at all since then, I was growing a bit worried. So, after 9 days I messaged her again.

And I got a fast reply.

So she said she'll be working on it in a few days so naturally, I waited. Then, I saw a journal posting on FA saying that she'll be streaming! So I was hoping that this would be the day of her doing my sketch and sadly... it was not. She was sculpting and I did not want to just out right ask while in stream so I waited once more. After it was nearing a month, I sent her another note, asking for a refund. I figure at this time, she was either not wanting to draw my char because she was uploading lots of art on her tumblr and ignored my latest sent note.

This was when I sent her several e-mails and even a message through skype about my commission. None of which she ever replied to.

Skype: http://gyazo.com/3186377c2d5ee4f72f82fa72d01415e6
E-mail: http://gyazo.com/9c3660e875b0fcda3f06400c2aedb54c (sent to her teatime one)
other e-mail: http://gyazo.com/1f677200cf1e1e61c8987f14ff6e2168 (sent to her rukh oone)
All of which are listed under contacts on her website. (Didn't bother blocking out my name since it's common, idgaf)

And I have a feeling she's ignoring me or whatever since she's been uploading art on her tumblr ever since... And I did not see her tumblr until it has been a month passed. I still believe as a commissioner, I should be sending notes/e-mails to know how things are going, right? But at this point, I am unsure of what to do. I cannot do a paypal charge back because it was sent as a gift at the time because I thought it would be done soon.

EDIT!
Seems she replied to her new e-mail she posted up and said she'll be giving me my refund by the end of the month or by the new commissions she'll be taking.

Now to wait about a  week for any results.

EDIT 2!:
Refunded in full.
