  • Beware: latiro - Larka / Heartlesswyvern


    James
    • Who: Larka / Heartlesswyvern
      Where: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/larka
      http://heartlesswyvern.deviantart.com/
      When: 02/28/2010
      What: Commission



    • Jun. 10th, 2011 at 12:09 AM
    ETA: Larka returned and has internet connection, apologized that the commission is taking too long, and promised me to pay me back and finish the commission free of charge, according to her comment to this entry. Thusly, everything's resolved

    WHO: Larka/Heartlesswyvern

    WHERE:
    http://www.furaffinity.net/user/larka
    http://heartlesswyvern.deviantart.com/

    WHAT: a full colored, BioShock-themed digital commission with two characters and a complex bg

    WHEN: February 2010 and current

    PROOF:

    Unfortunately, I don’t have screencaps of the Paypal receipt or the FA PMs (the PMs were deleted due to some FA hack incident), but as far as I remember, the pic cost $20. I do, however, have some screencaps of a few PMs sent to her on DA and can certainly explain what happened

    February 28, 2010:
    I paid her $20 for the pic

    March 6, 2010:
    I've watched her starting on the pic on Livestream, and all was fine (though she did take a break from it). I asked her to work more of it tomorrow and she agree

    March 12, 2010:
    Here’s the pic’s current state (as retrieved from one of her journals on DA) http://i39.tinypic.com/k6kvk.jpg

    Since then, I’ve been contacting her on MSN, asking if she’s working on the commission and her response is “Yeah, I’m working on it.” Unfortunately, I still hadn’t got the finished version of the drawing since the updated one

    March 13, 2011:
    a year later, I’ve sent her a PM on DA regarding my commission since several months have passed

    Unfortunately, it’s read and ignored. Weird

    March 22, 2011:
    Since 9 days past and the note is left unanswered, I’ve sent her another PM, but only this time, I politely asked her to either finish the pic altogether or refund if she didn’t had it finished (ignore the fact that I wrote $32 instead of $20 in the PM)

    NQx865S9OjtRYu2jziONJR0oPQW0JCFF6J8f61QXccfTmsGiX_uzAEOfnqMfOKzSEdy2UHmZbaeIRWHxVvUunQ

    The response:
    NQx865S9OjtRYu2jziONJeRKwVxn7RaCNo5wl3lY8Q1nL654nQ3ZxPX6IE2IZy63mSTwJitlGvr3nTXnL0-66w

    My reply:
    NQx865S9OjtRYu2jziONJZ-CYDfWmt_paM3DJLCpfJBFEmC-IgxeTTpfH2RclN8yOJPSE3wv33Yb3kSi9zzsIg

    So here am I am, keeping my fingers crossed for it to be finished for good... but I haven't heard from her since then. She hasn't been on FA or DA since April 30

    I know she has a busy time moving to a new house and has no internet, but I really don't wanna be left screwed over



    EXPLAIN: I’ve known her and adored her art for a long time, but I’m not too happy about her taking too long on the commission I paid $20 for and not finishing it (though she did finished two other commissions I paid for, which is good).

    Usually, I don’t mind having mildly tardy/late commissions and I always remind artists the pics I paid for (heck, I waited, like, nearly two years very patiently for one artist to finish a commission and got an extra pic to make up for the long wait), but having to pay $20 for a commission and waiting for a year without the final product? I’m... quite bewildered

    So Larka is quite tardy on the commission updates, implied that she’ll get around working on it (as I politely told her on IMs), and sometimes ignores PMs (regarding commission updates) after reading them (methinks she’s a little tough to contact via PMs). My deepest apologies for not having enough screencaps

    On different note to Larka: I deeply apologize for making this AB complaint about you, but I still haven’t received the final version of the commission that you promised you’d get around to. Whether I actually got the final product or not, whether you refund $20 or not, I probably won’t be commissioning you again. Sorry ?

    please note that that this was NOT an attack on Larka and her artistic reputation. I honestly didn't mean to do so, and yet she's angry at me for this and mentions that I've disrespected her. What she said about me was a lesson to me to not start drama like this anymore
