      What: Commission



    Chronology below. Time stamped in Discord and Deviantart Chat is GMT+7.

    - The artist contacted me through Deviantart Chat on 24/01/22, offering commission service. We agreed to continue the conversation through Discord DM.

    - The artist and I discussed the details of the commission through Discord DM on 25/01/22. I agreed to commission a Low-grade Pin Up commission and paid for the commission through Patreon on 25/01/22. Artist confirmed that payment had been accepted on 25/01/22.

    - I contacted the artist on 01/03/22 to ask for update on the commission. The artist replied on 02/03/22, citing delay due to bereavement.

    - I contacted the artist on 08/05/22 to ask for update on the commission. The artist replied on the same day, citing delay due to real-life issues.

    - I contacted the artist on 12/07/22 to ask for update on the commission. The artist replied on 16/07/22, claiming that they had a WIP of the commission ready. I requested the WIP as proof of progress, but WIP was not provided.

    - I contacted the artist on 25/08/22 to ask for update on the commission. The artist replied on the same day, citing delay due to health issues.

    - I contacted the artist on 24/10/22 to ask for update on the commission and possibility of refund due to lack of communication initiated by the artist. The artist replied on the same day with a long, unclear response. I reiterated my firm request for updates and consistent communication from their end in regards for any delays.

    - The artist provided the WIP of the character I commissioned on 26/10/22 and I confirmed on the same day that the WIP had been accepted and I was satisfied with the progress.

    The artist has attempted to make a claim on their twitter that the image is finished, but as you can clearly see, it's the same exact image that was posted in the record. In addition to this, the artist has decided to make these claims on their twitter, instead of contesting it here, because they know they did not actually finish the image.

    And as a reminder since the post is long, this is what the render level was supposed to be:

    It is very clear that despite the artists claims on their twitter, they did not complete the image, at all.

    I shared the link to the approved beware on Twitter. The artist found this tweet and left the comments screenshotted by a mutual, which I was unable to see because I was blocked. Per armaina's post above, the artist's claimed 'finished product' is of different quality than the advertised product.

    Considering this is his 4th beware and he considering this beware cyber buying on top of his constant ban evasions on FA and history of this of his previous three bewares. He's certainly making sure no one would want to commission him.

    This is probably why the artist solicits customers in DMs. Just one more reason to do one's due diligence to look up who you're working with.
