undelivered commission Beware: L00dwitch / Witchness / PastelHues

October 3rd - 7th, 2023

Witchness posted that she was open for stream slots that were supposed to be done next day or the day after in stream, I filled out and submitted a form and she messaged me the next day saying that she would be sending me an invoice. I paid once it was sent and waited for her to post that she was streaming, which she never did.

On the 7th she sent me a message saying her stream wasn't working and that she had to work out of stream. She sent me a WIP (which I approved of) and told me she would be finishing it next day. I didn't hear anything from her personally outside of her posting personal issues on her page.

January 4th-10th 2024

I honestly cannot remember the exact date but I ended up joining her server for commission progress at some point and she had a ticket system for that. I received a response from her on the 10th, explaining that she had a lot of "other people on (her) plate" but that she should finish my piece "in a couple weeks at most!" so I reacted with an emoji and waited.

May 14th, 2024

Since I hadn't heard anything from her since her last response I sent a message asking for an update since it had been five months without a word from her.

June 27th, 2024

She responded to me saying she was going through owed work and she was sorry for the delays.

June 30th, 2024

Her manager had sent me a message saying that Witchness needed updated information from me and sent me a form to fill out and reply with. I ended up having surgery and I think I cleared my notifications and missed Biba's message. 

July 14th-15th, 2024

I went to check on my ticket and noticed the response I missed, I apologized for not responding sooner, mentioning my surgery and replied with the filled out form. The next day, Biba responded telling me that it was fine and sent me a link to Witch's Trello so I could "keep track" and that she'd ping me again when there were updates.

September 1st, 2024

Another one of her managers/ mods replied to my ticket to tell me that Witch had said she'd be going through her tickets and delivering wips so I should expect a response soon.

October 11th, - November 1st, 2024

In October I was starting to get impatient after several empty promises, alongside Witch constantly taking on new commissions and doing huge adopt sheets and personal work and decided to message her. So I sent a message in the ticket thread stating that I understood that she was having issues but it was completely unfair that I had been waiting over a year for my head shot and that I understood she had a lot of commissions owed but I wanted an update.

I didn't get a response until the 1st of November, where another moderator basically relayed what I had already known from her server updates and public Twitter posts. Mentioning eviction and stating she was in a bind because several people had been charging her back so she was taking the time to make adopts to make up for that and that they didn't have an ETA for me and wouldn't for a while. 

I didn't respond because I didn't know what to say at that point.

February 19th, 2025

I ended up messaging again as I had seen her publicly taking on new commissions, I stated it had been four months and that I'd seen her taking and doing the new commissions. I was ignored and didn't receive a response until October.

October 18th - 21st, 2025

Another mod messaged me saying they "Reached out" (?) and that I should ping Witch on the following Monday. I was busy with IRL happenings and forgot to ping her until it was Tuesday and explained as such. Witch had replied stating that it was okay and that her mental health was doing better and that my wait time shouldn't be over 2 weeks. She said after she sent me a WIP, she'd be giving me a stream day where I could watch my commission be finished, and she was sorry because she had to do a lot of refunds.

November 4th - 10th, 2025

I messaged saying I was getting fed up from another false deadline, especially since I already had a wip from 2 years ago.

She replied to me on the 7th, saying that she had thought she sent me a message letting me know she was going to be delayed. She apologized and said she "thought I didn't respond" and "was okay with the delay" because I @'d myself in the message. (I had replied to my form message.)

She gave me a WIP that I wasn't that happy with. In the time since I commissioned Witch, her style had changed a bit and one of the biggest changes was doing bigger bottom lips as well as a top lip. I told her it was mostly looking good but I had two complaints, the lips (as they're not my cup of tea) and then I felt like her face shape didn't look right, that her facial structure looked too long so I asked her if she could change it to be more like this other piece she did back around the time I initially commissioned her.

She responded telling me she "couldn't edit the face shape" but she could fix the lips. She said the face wasn't different from the sketch besides "moving the eye down." She then sent an overlay of the sketch on the piece and then a separate image of the WIP with the fixed lips. I honestly did not feel like arguing this, I just told her the lips looked better. She responded to me two days later to say "good" and that it would be finished soon.

December 10th - 12th, 2025

Literally the day after I initially posted this Beware to Artist Beware (Dec 10th) she just so happened to message me to tell me my comm would be done soon. (Dec 11th)

Then the next day (Dec 12th) she made a post in her updates about how she wasn't going to be able to work on commissions because her pen nib broke but then also said she'd be able to because she has her IPAD.

Later that same day she stated she was ordering a new pen and would start work again on the 17th, it is now the 18th and I haven't heard anything.
