Artist Beware: Junebuq / junies cuties

Oh man that's a long wait for a painting, especially if it's for two separate people. Hope you're not getting any flak from the person you're sharing it with. Don't think restarting it was the smart thing to do on the artists part and offering more art to compensate for the lack of it is also never a good move. I hope this can be resolved soon.

That being said, I am a little bit confused about the raffle. The post on fA says "this YCH will NOT be "first come first serve" but rather randomly chosen from the list of entries for the slot! ", but in the second screenshot you two are talking as if you were picking a winner by hand, so which one was it? 

Hello! I am the artist. Raven has been nothing but understanding and generally nice most times with occasional clearly upset messages they have sent me 

The commission they mention in this post is a painting something I was new at at the time of commissioning (i believe this was also discussed with raven at the time) I explained countless times the issues i was having and my reasons for restarting the commission was purely out of the desire to make the commission better and more detailed for my paying customers. Raven seemed understanding of this and really didnt seem upset or unhappy about this decision at the time.

In early August of this year I moved with my partner and to my knowledge was upfront about this to raven. At no point have they been ignored or have I been rude, further more when I offered raven this sketch they vaguely seemed interested and gave no info what so ever as to the content or even what they'd want. I truly believed they didnt really want it. All other commissions that raven has bought have been completed. Only one previously has had delays. They have commissioned 2 pinups and 1 or 2 sketches that to my knowledge they have liked! 

Raven has also never formally requested a refund. A few days ago they contacted me suggesting they would possibly like a refund IF I didnt give them an expected completion date. So I provided them with a date. That was that and they have not contacted me since, nor did they warn me about this beware.

I believe this beware was rather undeserved but I suppose I am biased

Anyone who has asked for a refund has either gotten one or been put on a waiting list to receive one. Any commissioner that has asked me for updates has received relatively fast updates. I do not believe I ever came off as rude or awful to raven nor did I scam or manipulate them. They have had contact with me this entire time.

Perhaps our wording was off in the description of the ych I let raven pick the winner ( if I remember correctly)

As for the colored sketch that was offered to them, sketches were completed every month so I believed giving them art in the now would make them more patient with the painting that was taking a while
