EXPLAIN:
47+ e-mails of asking for art wips, updates, and extensions.

For a two-character commission co-owned by a friend, we had contacted CS, and after the payment went through, communication became erratic & uncooperative/avoidant.

I. Consistently made & broke promised deadlines for WIP & finished piece.
II. Never provided WIPs (despite in the contract) unless asked, AFTER repeated requests.
III. Art progress was next to nil for 5 months, a total of 4 WIPs & a revision. (sketch, rough inked lines, cleaned lines, 5% coloured flats cleanup) provided.
IV. Never followed up with an apology & work progress after missing a deadline. Had to chase with more e-mails.
V. At one point ignored a deadline for finished art & repeated attempts to make contact, then made another promise immediately after we threatened Paypal dispute.
accepting our payment. (See proof linked above)
VI. As of 6th August he had ignored e-mails asking for our refund, after missing the final extension deadline on the 4th of August.
VII. Responded to third e-mail & promised refund.
VIII. Received 2nd half of the commission's price same night.
