Disreputable

There’s an update! I alerted the artist that I did make a beware and that I would resolve this when I received the final art. I have screenshots of all the way to my latest reply. I did originally say that it would be deleted, but I quickly noticed that I’m unable to and changed it to “resolve.” I did add this in another message. They didn’t reply to this, so I asked for my money back. To that point, I received nothing. I said I would not resolve it until I actually received the final piece  

and finally I received my first WIPS

they followed it up with this message as well. I won’t say any interpretations as I don’t want to upset the artist.

I thought this was very mature and stated this. At this point I did use the term resolve as well. 

I tried to come off as understanding of the situation, and today I received these messages. They had just noticed I said I made a beware. This resulted in more messages. 

I made it clear on my main post that even the original art would not change my opinions about the situation. I made my thoughts clear in that^ last message, saying that I cannot just get rid of this like I wasn’t treated poorly. The term “resolved” has a meaning. 
 

I did feel bad as they did add extra art (found below). I  was just able to get access to my images. All credit to artsyposy of course:

and here are the sketches included with the art for the amount of time I had to wait:

Make of this what you will. I got my art and that’s why I originally made my main post. This is resolved as an art transaction, and I may do another update if they have anything important to add. 

@zeshi23 oh yikes! I always feel bad when this stuff happens to other people!  :0 do you know roughly how long you waited and was it a large piece? I mean it’s odd that it’s taken so long for a chibi piece, but I can’t imagine the wait for a possible large project. 

@Sivi yeah, and I can’t tell if they’ve seen my messages either. If I ever get the art, I’ll update or resolve this, but I doubt that’ll happen. I’m “lucky” that I only got a chibi because I can only imagine how much more I’d be annoyed if it was for the price of their fullbodies. I feel kind of dumb that I was too passive for too long, but I don’t think I could have predicted this would happen- I tend to see the best in people. Now that you mentioned the rabbit thing… that is really weird. I hadn’t thought of how strange that was. They were able to message me without the cable, so I’m sure they could have made some post? Their post said they were stressed with college but that was not what they told me. To be fair, I think both played a part because they at least sent a pic of the gnawed on cords.
