WHO: Koachellla

WHERE: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/koachellla/

WHAT: Digital Art  

WHEN: Dec 17th, 2017, 08:03 PM — First Contact Dec 18th, 2017, 09:49 AM — Paid by my friend and myself Feb 18th, 2018, 03:18 PM — First Signs of Trouble

EXPLAIN: In actuality, my friend who I was getting this commission with was the first person to contact this artist, but I filled out the actual details of what we wanted. On December 17th of last year, I wanted to get something with my friend because he wanted to get something with me. We contacted Koachellla about this and we set up a commission with her. We both paid on the 18th of December. It wasn't until February 18th that we received signs of trouble. I hadn't received the commission yet after I told her to send it in, so I contacted her art manager, who happens to also be her mate in this situation. He has a role in this feud as well because he told me he was going to contact her about the situation, and let me know if I was going to get a full on refund or a do-over (which I did not receive any of the sort. A few minutes or so after the message was sent, the hateful journal appeared, which proposed false information about contacting her mate about her own art commissions. Art managers are there for a reason, and if the situation where they need to be contacted is present, then there shouldn't be a problem about contacting the art manager. Following this, I received four malicious notes towards me from Koachellla, and after further reviewing the first note, a threat against me about stealing my money along with my friend.

Resolution: I filed a dispute on the artist this beware is about, and after negotiating terms, the artist has decided to re-draw the image entirely, and give me and my friend what we desired in the beginning.
