Beware Space (Spacemuttt)

This beware is concerning the artist Space (spacemuttt) who did not deliver commissioned artwork and since disappeared.

On October 29th of 2018 (verified by payment detail below) I purchased an icon from the artist Space.

Subsequently, on November the 1st of 2018 (conversation confirming payment occurring the following day) I decided to also claim a slot in a single-slot YCH the artist was hosting.

The artist did not ever deliver the items, and instead only dodged contact attempts or made excuses.

On the 29th of November, the artist contacted me claiming personal reasons that prevented them from completing the art, and noted it would be done soon.

I'm quite a patient commissioner, so the net time I follow up isn't until around February 16th of 2019.

I again hear nothing for a while, and decide to follow up in April, asking for the art or a refund. I get the following response on April 10th, 2019.

This is the continued conversation after following up as requested. The artist claims they finished the chibi headshot, but doesn't provide me any link, nor do they post it.

I respond thanking them for the update, and also noting that they never sent the headshot.

On the 18th of April 2019, 6 days later, I follow up again with no response. As you can see, my FA Outbox has registered that the note sent was never read by the recipient.

On the 20th of July 2019, I send this note as a final status check, it too is unread as seen below.

The artist then disables their FA page.

This artist clearly dodged communication and made up excuses as to why they couldn't complete the art. As shown, I tried to be as patient as possible with them.

After attempting to work this out via the above communications, I attempted to file a chargeback on both charges but, as is PayPal policy, too much time had elapsed.

I no longer want the artwork, the only acceptable resolution at this time is for the money to be refunded.
