I commissioned Foxiful at FWA for a badge for my hubby's bday, took their business card and stuck it in my wallet and promptly forgot about it. They were sitting at the booth opposite mine so I remember them quite clearly, but other than a few messages over FA I haven't had much luck getting in touch with them.

Their FA page says to send emails for commission inquiries but they haven't replied to any emails I've sent either.

I'm trying to reach artist called Sapphu ( http://www.furaffinity.net/user/sapphu / https://sapphu.weebly.com/ ) -- they owe me a commission from like... almost a year ago. Last time I had any contact was in May, when I e-mailed their PayPal address (after using FA notes and the form on their site to no avail) they said they were setting up a workspace to be able to work on stuff they owe, and after that nothing. I've tried e-mailing again but have not received any reply.

Their dA ( https://sapphirelullaby.deviantart.com/ ) seems abandoned and tumblr account under sapphirelullaby seems to be in use of some advertising bot.

I also tried googling their PP address but found nothing useful.

Does anyone know if this artist is still active anywhere where I could contact them? It's waaaay beyond PayPal chargeback by now and that's my fault, but I had commissioned this artist in the past with no problems :(

Has anyone heard from Auratoon Doodle since Megaplex. He currently owes me a lenticular con badge commission that I paid for at the convention but have not heard from him since the convention. His Telegram does not seem to be working so I have no alternative ways to communicate with him or get in touch with him.

So if anyone knows how to get a hold of them let me know.

Has anyone heard from Cyniikal? I commissioned them on November 6th 2016 for two blinking icons on their YCH icon and I checked back sometime during this year and found they hadn't been active on their account, core ran out and everything, and the journals they had posted were a tad concerning. I tried contacting them june 4th 2017,but the notes gone unread and any other attempts at contacting them haven't been met with success.

Has there been any information from Wolfblade as of recently? The last I heard from him was last month when he informed me he was avoiding online life and trying to take care of real life issues. He's posted August Patreon stuff but I've not seen anything in regards to September. I'm worried because I've paid $300 for a slavestream from last year and it seems life issues have always gotten in the way of scheduling so just wondering if there's been any updates recently.

UPDATE 11/30

I've spoken with Wolfblade and he is currently working through his owed work queue and refunding those that are currently waiting in that queue.

Update 12/11

I've been refunded the amount for the slavestream

Heya! I'm trying to contact two artists on furaffinity. One known as azure, and the other known as kiwiwallaroo.

Azure has a lovely raptor suit that was made by kiwi, but both of their pages are empty and/or disabled from viewing!

If anyone has any info about them I would greatly appreciate it! I want to inquire about getting a suit of my own and since Azure looks very similar to my own 'sona I thought I would ask them!

What: 15$ Custom Horse Lineart/ Base Commission

Explanation: Back in August of 2016 I remembered, at the time, that I had told Holly (CrystalUniicorn) that I was going to commission her for a custom horse base / lineart because I adored her bases so much... So I sent her a note. ( https://gyazo.com/4c94e44a63c9f835432fff1ad6da13dd ) and our total correspondence lasted less than a few minutes. Over the next few weeks I noticed she'd been pretty active (as was normal for her.) She posted other commissions and such but then suddenly on September 17th she posted a journal stating the following https://gyazo.com/5bcb83830f51d151009f0cca6b3072e7

The last contact that she had on deviant art with ANYONE was a batch of horse adoptables on September 27th 2016.

Honestly this isn't about me wanting my 15$ back (though that might be nice) but she has some comments on her page asking where she is and one that says she'd been active on a cosplaying website but with no link? And her twitch hasn't been active at all. I understand life can get busy but this just seems a bit excessive and I'm also worried, we weren't close friends but she was always nice to chat with.

UPDATE 1: I meant to post this earlier but I'm so forgetful but CrystalUniicorn has made her way back onto deviantart and (thankfully) still has a public to-do list and her previous commissioners are still on it (including myself) but there hasn't been any activity since September 22nd when she posted a "Character Sale" journal, I will have to note her personally to see what can be done about the owed art. Will keep you guys posted.

I apologize if the details are a bit fuzzy on this one, as I'm unable to access the account where I placed the commission. But I commissioned FilthHigh on FA for a badge of my fursona at the time. They completed it and sent me a scan of it and it was absolutely fantastic. In a note, they promised to send it out at some point (I think they may have admitted up front they were bad about mailing things). I promised to check in with them on occasion to sort of prompt and remind them.

The next time I went to their page, it was deactivated and has never been reactivated since (that I know of at least). I never did receive the badge.

Because I don't have access to the notes, I'm not sure of when I commissioned it. The closest I have is a date on the original file saved from FA of Monday, ‎October ‎19, ‎2009. I know it's been 8 years but I just got a wild hair up my rear to see if anyone knew of any place where they were still active online. I found a DA account that was also deactivated and a smackjeeves under that username with their e-mail and a name, but didn't find much with the latter.

I was just curious if anyone knew them personally. I don't quite expect the badge to still exist after 8 years but as much as I love that badge, I'd still really love to get my hands on it. Thanks!

Does anybody know how to contact junkshopheibon on deviantart? Their main account is Vaireus and another joint account they used to be on was Talurea. I have sent them numerous notes and emails and haven't gotten a response to any of these. Additionally, I've reached out to the people they've shared accounts with, but those individuals also don't know how to contact this artist.

Me and my best friend commissioned junkshopheibon for redesigns back in August-September 2016. We'd very much like a way of getting into contact with them for our commissions or possible refunds!

1) [updated] Caltroplay

Commissioned them in July 2016 on weasyl. They disappeared from weasyl. I emailed them to reconnect October 2016, no response. I found their FA, saw they posted things all the way up until December 2016, then disappeared from there as well. I emailed again March 2017, as well as noted on both FA and weasyl. No response to anything. Emailed/noted once more in June, and again a few days ago, still nothing. I found their twitter and saw they posted in January, then disappeared until May saying they have been having life issues... which is fine, but I'd really like to reestablish communications with them, even if it's just for them to tell me they have to cancel/delay indefinitely. Lack of communication is the worst T_T

[update]
7/12/17 A friend of Caltroplay emailed me from her email address to explain the situation - resolved

2) Lika

Since June 2016, commissioned on weasyl, but they stopped using it I guess. I asked if anyone knew how to find them elsewhere, and I was given their FA: Razzyglider. I have noted them there, but have not received a response. I saw they had a journal up saying they hit a rough patch, but I just want to reconnect. Same as above.

I commissioned Chioro ( https://www.furaffinity.net/user/chioro/ ) on February 20th of this year. Just recently I discovered that they have disabled their Fur Affinity account, which is where I had commissioned them. I have attempted to contact them via the PayPal e-mail they provided me when I paid, as well as on their Weasyl, SoFurry, DeviantArt and Tumblr accounts. They have not been active on most of these sites for months, or sometimes years, but I had thought it prudent to try. I'm not looking for a reason why they shut down their account. That's their business. I just want them to get into contact with me, and to get either the art I paid for or a refund. If anyone knows where they may be reached, that would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: after a year of waiting and no contact do you think its appropriate to create a beware on this artist as well?

Original Post:

This is a lost contact of Dragondoodles or Draconemignis of Furaffinity. I commissioned them back in 2015 at BLFC (biggest little fur con) for a badge, and have been promised multiple times of its completion, and have apparently been dropped out of contact.

They have deactivated FA, and the email provided for contact bounces now so I'm assuming thats been disabled. Did they do a name change? Does ANYONE have contact as this was a 40 dollar badge and Id love to fund another honest artist with that money rather than just be out the cash. I've asked for refunds over email, notes on FA (pre-disable), and shouts. Have yet to be contacted and since it was an in person cash transaction (I have a physical receipt however) I cant file a dispute.

Any suggestions? help please...

Update 11/23/2016: I reached out to the "Dragondoodles" Facebook page via facebook chat not expecting anything since the page seems abandoned. However; the message has been seen. No response though. Ive sent the message below:

https://imgur.com/a/tTCi7

And noticed they were not responding. So I left this as a message, hopefully they get in contact with me. Blocked out my email since its not needed here in this forum.

"I see this message has been seen, if you could email me at xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com again id like to discuss my refund for my badge please."

Edit to update 11/23/2016: My second message has been seen on facebook but not responded to. I have left them a message stating they have 24 hours from a specific time to respond or a full beware will be posted.

Feeling like I wont be seeing my art or my money, but I'd like to just warn others of this potential scam.

Greycat is an artist that has not been in contact with me for a very long time.

I first contacted him through his DeviantArt page at: http://greycat-rademenes.deviantart.com/

I tried contacting him again through his G-mail, through DeviantArt, through FurAffinity, and even through Tumblr, but he hasn't been in touch with me. He even took the time to respond to someone else on his DA page a few days ago, but didn't respond to me.

I did receive one part of my commission through his Google Drive, but it would be really helpful if he sent me the links to my other pic which may be on his Google Drive. Both pics I commissioned are NSFW pics.

I just sent him an email through his old e-mail address from Yahoo. I just hope he responds to that one.

If anyone here has any other method of contacting him, any help would be appreciated.

Hello, AB! I need an advice about some adoptables I bought from another artists. Recently, I noticed I have some interesting character designs I don't use and I don't plan to use ever, so, I decided to sell them. Honestly, I purchased them because I wanted to support the artists and to have character designs by them. These ones (adoptables) aren't just plain one side pictures, they are good reference sheets. I have a problem with one of them. I wanted to contact an artist about reselling this adoptable, but they deleted their FA page, and I don't even remember their email address (so I don't know how much I paid for this reference). What should I do? Is it OK to resell it without artist knowing, or is it absolute no-no?

I also don't remember any friends of this artist, but I know some people who drew commissions for them. But it's kinda creepy to contact them about their commissioner.

The artist nickname was Nonus, hope it's OK to mention it.

This isn't a beware, however I am wary that it will become one. I've been out of contact with my artist for 4 months now from a commission I paid for back at BLFC 2015 (June). There was steady communication from june 12- july 1st where we were locking down the character id like to change it to. We came to a very easy agreement and I was told "I really like the persona!! I don't get to draw humans enough haha. However I'd need to know what name to put with it! Yours is up next, (I'll be working on it in a few minutes haha) so if you could get back to me asap that'd be great! Thank you!-Caius" This was on SEPTEMBER 14th. Ok sure a wait for commission queue that's fine. I didn't pester them about it I figured I was just waiting my turn in the queue.

This was the last time I've heard from them. I'm hoping someone has been in contact with them and can just relay that they should respond to my shouts or email me or something?

SadisticFiend on DA commissioned me for a "Halloween Icon" during October, contact was a little spotty during the month and into November and it took me longer than I planned to finish all my work at the end of October through November (my bad, they were informed about the delay and were fine with it) - I noted them on DA on December 9th to inform them their icon was complete but haven't received a reply. D:
I sent them another note as a nudge on the 15th of this month, but both notes are thus-far unread and I don't know their email or any site they're more active on to get in touch with them.
They haven't yet sent payment, but I also hold off on sending completed images until payment is complete so I'm not especially worried about that, I'd just really like to get their icon to them so I can tick it off my queue. ;u;

Does anyone here happen to know if they have an FA or Weasyl account? Or perhaps be able to point them my way?

Hi, everyone! This isn't a beware, but a lost contact with someone I paid for a small commission in June 2015.

On June 25th, 2015, I paid Computernurd @ deviantART for a "Your Character Here" pixel doll. This was around the time that the deviantART community became aware that commissions should be paid for via the "goods/services" option, as paying for commissions as gifts had been commonplace previously. Thus, I paid via "friends/family" and didn't see the issue with it until later, so I'm as much at fault here as the artist.

Seven months later, I still haven't seen the commission and my requests for an update on August 31st and a refund on November 11th have been unanswered. In fact, it seems that this artist hasn't been online at all since then. Does anyone here happen to know how to get into contact with them? There are no alternate accounts listed on their page, unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

WolfyDarkPaws requested a commission last year around October when I was very busy, I told them I would only be able to really start working on their picture January 2016 but they would have a spot in my waiting list. They were alright with this and paid me in full before hand, even though they were aware no real progress would be done until January.

A month later, about November or so I managed to sketch out their commission and email it to them. They are very grateful and excited for the picture and told me to continue on.

Fast Forward to January and now with less work on my hands I start working on their commission again. However this time when I email them a WIP I received no response. Concerned about this I went to check their FurAffinity as an alternate means of contacting them but they seem to have disabled their page and so far I have found no other way of contacting them.

This raises the following issue: I was paid in full and if the commissioner cannot be contacted in the next month the abandonment clause of my ToS states I can drop the commission and refund them, however some degree of progress was already started on the picture, should I still do a full refund or should I keep the equivalent of the progress so far.

If you have any information on WolfyDarkPaws or advice on how to handle the refund situation do let me know.
Thank you!

EDIT: I finally managed to communicate with the commissioner again. It appears it was a case of emails not being recieved. Thank you for your feedback!

Okay so this post may be a bit backward to what people are used to, but bear with me.

At Anthrocon this year I had my artbox lost or stolen at the very end of my trip, in that I lost $250++ in art supplies, but more importantly, I lost all my receipts and and commission files that I had commissioners fill out at the con. I've spent months chasing the hotel/motels I stayed at and airports I used trying to get them to see if they had it incase it ever popped up, but repeatedly never got any responses from them beyond "we'll keep an eye out".

I had my phone number, address, email, social media links etc etc in it, but its clear someone prefered to keep all my art supplies instead.

At this point I have completed about a dozen AC commissions, the ones I could remeber.

This is where I need help, I suffer from memory loss and recall disabilities and I just cannot for the life of me remember or figure out who else commissioned me at AC this year and for what, so I'm hoping at least some of my commisioners will see this!

Also if you know someone who commissioned me and is waiting on me please send them my way! I've responded to everyone who's contacted me since AC but unfortunately that was only a few people, and I don't have anyones contact info.

Fastest way to get a hold of me is through email at Chronidu[AT]gmail[DOT]com!

EDIT: Here is a list of commissons that I am aware of and/or have completed

Jinash - Minion badge (done this week)
Zippner - 2x Minion Badges (done this week)
Jigglemeats - 2x Minion Badges (done this week)
Narf - Minion Badge (done this week)

WHO: Email on form was given as Hallyosy@gmail that's all I have to go on for this.

WHERE: In person at the Ohio furry convention, Morphicon this past May.

WHAT: Badge commission to be completed at the convention.

WHEN: Paid in full for a badge slot on Saturday of Morphicon.

EXPLAIN: I had a buyer pay in full for a badge commission to be done at the con, they did not however have access to the character references right then, took my business card and told me they'd email me them shortly. I never received any email, and the buyer never returned to my table the remainder of the convention.

After the convention I sent out an email to the one provided on the buyer's commission form in hopes of touching base and getting the badge done. I still have not received replies to my messages. Since they paid up front in cash, I can't refund without contact.

The character they wanted was pretty unique (they had a costume of it at Morphicon from what I recall?), and I hope someone in the area might know who this is and how to contact them based on this. The character had a CRT monitor/TV head with a humanoid body and punkrocker jacket.

Just a shot in the dark, I'd hate for such a nice person to lose out on getting a badge, and for this to be the first 'missing person' I've dealt with at a con before.
