justcheezit (justcheezit) wrote in artists_beware, @ 2019-01-14 17:59 Commissioner beware: Loftyk9 WHO: Loftyk9 WHERE: Tumblr/Fur Affinity WHAT: 4 part sketch sequence/ mini comic WHEN: Nov. 16th 2018 - Jan. 6th 2019 EXPLAIN: I did a commission for Loftyk9 back in November 16th of 2018; of which hadn't been paid for until January 6th of 2019. Initially they had an error with the payment due to an unstable connection,I had given them time to rectify this error as I had other clients drafts to handle. More hindrances came about, ranging from being in the hospital,handling holiday related expenses and once again running into more transaction errors when reminded of the invoice a month and a half after the commission had been completed. I will openly admit to having handled it poorly on my behalf by not enforcing my pay up front policy; however, having given them more than enough time to have the transaction handled, being promised it would be handled at the moment of being reminded,and finally being told of a similar transaction error or simply getting no response until asked again, their credibility has been damaged and I'm unable to say that they're pleasant to do business with.

Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no that's a mistake.

I personally would not as it would read to me like they aren't professional, and I do not think it's appropriate to ask. Much in the same way I would not appreciate a client pressing for details if I needed to cancel. If someone makes a habit of canceling transactions and asking for refunds, then I'd probably blacklist them for the inconvenience.

What is the screenshot pointing out?

Alright y'all let's keep this focused on the beware, not the ethics of tracing.

Greetings! Would like to discuss about my prices.
Eden replied to HoshinoArts's topic in Pricing Talk
This looks like fair pricing if not slightly under charged, but as you said this is a base price to be moved up if a client has a more complex character. Your style is lovely. -

I had received a deadline of October for this one but sadly that was delayed. I questioned the artist about it a few times after that and the days kept getting pushed further and further back before finally when it came to being asked last week (after failing to complete the commission back on Christmas) as they promised to complete it Monday. They were not in discussion at all and I'm afraid I felt as if I was waiting way too long without any real response so I had to issue a refund. Following months of asking for updates or any signs of life and only being pushed back more and more and more, I'm a bit exhausted of waiting... I'm tired of attempting to comment or note them to little avail until they say "Hey, my internet was out for x long." But, as an artist myself you don't really need the internet to use most programs or continue drawing.

You would be correct. We were under the assumption that users could still see their hidden comments like on the old site, but upon further testing the "mod note" option is simply for us for personal notes. We will have to pm users manually for rejected comments.

I attached a moderator note explaining why. We do not accept excessive personal information. Please review our commenting rules. Artist to artist that kind of information really isn't the client's problem. There was nothing stopping you in that time from contacting them about a personal delay.

I get a lot of work through a single apparel company, and this is exactly the kind of agreement I send them at the close of every transaction.

This is the mirror from a Livejournal post, but I'll point the OP to this.

Your feelings are definitely valid as it is your friend's job to make sure to keep track of what you are owed. Unfortunately there's not going to be an easy solution to this. You know your friend's personality better than us, so how do you think your friend would react? Either way a good friend should be able to hear you out that you feel concerned that you're having to do the legwork for them. You wouldn't be out of line to have a polite conversation with them about how your friend is lacking in organization, and now you want a time frame for completion of your work or a refund.

Added submission guidelines. Added a light theme (thanks Alex!) Added rules page. Tag searching information is now on bewares. I broke the slider, but added in a new slide for "So, you've been posted to Artists Beware" (don't tell Alex I broke the slider) Slider is fixed, reduced in size, and has a longer delay between slides. About US page added Commenting rules now in an announcement rather than cluttering beware page.

Category for Impersonation/ Stolen Characters Cautions?

It would most likely be a beware. But submitters don't have to worry about trying to categorize their submission. We'll do that for you. -
Category for Impersonation/ Stolen Characters Cautions?
Eden replied to Rendrassa's topic in Site Questions
Commissioning art of a character without permission is something we allow. Provided it's the exact character and not a "seems similar" situation. -
This precisely. A basic First Class envelope with tracking costs under $5. I don't understand why the artist didn't ship it in that manner.

That's enough. You have a refund, and this is being locked as there are no more productive things to be said. All that's happening are potshots at each other, and that's not what we are here for. Edit: I also want to stress that the artist is within their rights to refund you. He didn't claim that you threatened with a chargeback. He said that he felt you were the type of client who might do so when they aren't getting their way. This is his way of washing his hands of this transaction, and at this point you need to leave him alone from here on out. He's establish
