    WHO: RottenCanines / Malin -> www.furaffinity.net/user/rottencanines/
    WHERE: Furaffinity.net
    WHAT: Digital Art Trade
    WHEN: Trade initiated May 2011, Updated November 2011
    PROOF:
    My original post has been included beneath the LJ Cut for reference, and is also located here: [LINK]

    I am updating that post with her latest response to a question on how her progress is on her half of our trade. In her latest journal, I asked how her progress was. I don't LIKE doing that, but it seems unless you make a question to her public (I would link that in a screen shot, however she removed it from view), she will happily ignore it.This is the response I received: [Screenshot] -- Which is a complete 180 from the initial response I received about her finishing her part of the trade: [Screenshot]

    And, as I've been writing this, I've received the following  notes in response to my stating I would be updating a post on Artist_Beware about the matter:  Her reply to my note #1: [Screenshot] + Another note she sent a few minutes later: [Screenshot]

    The next screen shows my responses to her in the next few notes, as well as her own. The highlighted portions were my responses - and have been highlighted to make reading it easier as nesting quotes get really ugly in FA. [Screenshot]

    Pretty much at a loss for ideas at this point. I just really want people to be very cautious when dealing with this artist. 


    EDIT 11/08/2011: RottenCanines is making replies in the old thread today. Also, I received this note on FA just now.

    [My Reply]

    [Her reply]

    EDIT 11/08/2011: RottenCanines has stated she will finish the trade. [link] - I will edit again with further information when it arrives.

    EDIT 11/09/2011: She has completed her half - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6825227/

    The following is the original post I made.

    PROOF:

    1: Trade brought up here:
    http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5517582/ (Screen shot of Convo: X )
    2: Her note to me about what she wants from our trade: X
    3: I sent a reply with a reference, and affirmation of what I would like in return (as stated in the reply thread on her submission).
    4: I post my half of our trade. Her response is positive, even though I missed a few things. X
    5: There was a bit of back and forth as I drew up new and improved references for my character, but the subject remained the same. I kept her up to date for 'when she was going to work on it'.
    6: Fast forward to today's exchange. My name disappeared from the owed-art list, so I asked about it.
    7: Screen shot of shouts: X



    EXPLAIN: 

    In response to a question about whether or not she took commissions for a certain style of feral art she was doing, I asked if she would be willing to trade since she was unable to take commissions. She was very receptive to the idea (1). She sent me a note with what she wanted (2), and I replied with what I wanted.

    During the next several months, I changed the species of what I wanted and sent her notes to update her with new references. Each time she replied positively and said she hadn't started on it yet. (5)

    While this was going on, she had my name on her list of 'people she owed art'. Since I was on her to do list I wasn't terribly worried about it. 

    Between the time that I had finished my half (4) and now, she has drawn dozens of personal art pieces and commissions. Commissions are important and should come first, so those I'm not terribly worried about. However, in my perspective, if I owe half of an art trade, that takes priority over numerous personal pieces.

    I noticed today, after seeing another of her submissions in my messages and going to her page, that my name has vanished from her owed-art list. I ask about it (7) and receive a (rather strange) response. 

    At no point prior to her response was I contacted and told that she was not going to follow through with her half. Today is the first I even heard about this, and it was not agreed upon by both parties.


    EDIT: She has contacted me asking what I would like to have drawn, but also says it may take a while due to a lot of things going on in her life. Will post updates as they come.
    The edit above was from the original post and is not current.
