  • Caution: Coddez


    Kakapotato
    • Who: Coddez
      Where: https://twitch.tv/coddez
      https://youtube.com/channel/UCcn5w69kIdlQvmYfKusdWHQ
      When: 03/21/2021
      What: Commission



    Coddez reached out to me to commission me. I did the work and, knowing that he’s a kid, figured I’d give him some leniency and trust that he’ll pay me when he can. He even said that he’d pay me once he got the money together. Time passes and nothing only for me to learn that he has no intention of paying me at all and that there’s multiple other artists who he’s pulled the same scam on. As he says himself, the way he goes about commissioning artists, is tricking a bunch to do the work and then only paying the one he likes best; or in this case, the one that’s free.

    The only reason he even reached out to me to tell me that he isn’t going to pay me, is because I had another streamer whom both of us know, talk to him and tell him to contact me.

    I’d also like to clarify, in the very last message when I say, “and that’s fine...” his actions are in no way fine and are very harmful to the art community. It’s just the only words my brain came up with at the time.

    This post has been approved, however since the client is a minor it is

    1.  Being locked.  We don't need a bunch of adults piling on a kid.

    2.  Not being boosted on our twitter.  See above.

    If the client sees this:  What you are doing is called speculative work, and it should always be clearly advertised.

    For the artist:  It goes without saying, don't do work for children.  This is unfortunately a lesson learned the hard way.
