Artist Beware: ectoflorist/kettucutie

I  began a commission process of a two page a comic from ectoflorist/kettucutie on Februrary 16th 2024. The artist seemed nice and welcoming at first.  The total for the commission was $70, although I was given the option to put a down payment of $20 first and pay the rest at a later date and agreed. 




After sending the $20 down payment for the commission, the artist sent a rough sketch of the first page of the comic.


On March 17th 2024, I then had the rest of the payment, which was $50,  and sent it to them as well. Both transactions were made via  CashApp.

I've waited until April  23rd and April 28th 2024 to as for an update on the commission. But was greeted with a bit of a hostile reply.

After apologizing, I waited for a response, unfortunately, the artist became unresponsive.
I waited for months sending check up messages while trying to be respective of the artist's space as much as possible.
However, the artist did not respond at all.

Strangely, as I made the transaction and contacted the artist on Discord, they still seem to be active on there.

Unfortunately, the artist's Furaffinity page has been inactive for months, and there's no other place to reach them other than Discord.

On January 22nd I tried contacting the artist through private message on their Tumblr. However, they have blocked me and had not sent a reply.

The artist is currently still posting on their tumblr, reblogging posts from others even though they've not sent a response.
