I have more in depth thoughts, but since I'm on my phone: as a heads up transactions cam only be refunded up to a certain period of time. The chargeback time is longer, so Mo more than likely didn't have the option to refund the original transaction. I would still be wary about chargebacks though.

Also, users have no ability to edit or delete their own posts. As a general shout out to anyone who may want to pressure OP to remove it. They can't. 

Edit: Mo's pronouns are they/ them.

I disagree. I'm not implying the post shouldn't be here but I can see how it can be seen that way. With the mistakes the artist made, granted, the references provided were not usual ref-sheets, I still feel the artist had left out too many details themselves and thus makes the post come off that way, at least to me. There's no issue with the Beware being here.

This wasn't something to agree or disagree on.  It's a polite reminder to read our rules.

Even when the piece was corrected the only thing that seems to of changed was giving the goo-girl character more goop and changing the tail of the other character to purple, then had the audacity to say the commissioner would need to pay "Editing Fees" if they wanted anything else changed...while the artist themselves had still missed some details.

It reads more like the artist felt the client was asking for the bunny to be more "goopy" which would require some shading.  Though I agree they should have linked examples, and the collar needed to be fixed as it was in the ref.

This comes off as scummy on part of the artist, not to mention making this artist-beware seem petty and even vindictive.

I've let your comment through despite this line toeing the line on Rule 5:  "Do not imply a beware doesn't belong here".  Please be sure to read over the rules before participating further.

Given that I've lived in a place with mildew issues, I absolutely am baffled that if this was this strong that the rest of your clients didn't say anything.  I am also similarly mystified that cleaning it didn't get the smell out.  For context the day we moved in the smell of mildew was so intense that I, someone without allergies, had a headache for weeks whenever I'd go home.  Our items, including my clothing, reeked.  I had to keep a set of my uniform at work just so it wouldn't smell while I was at work.  Yet once we moved out the smell went away after a wash or two. A few months out everything that couldn't be washed has already let the smell go.  This includes my fursuit parts.

I'm sorry, they absolutely did not deserve a full refund.

Please don't post real life pictures to our website, even if it may not be the artist itself.

Went ahead and got that new name added

Howdy!

We went ahead and marked this as resolved for you, but I had to remove the cap from your comment as it had the artist's name uncensored.

Quality looks about the same to me, it's always hard to compare existing animals in a semi realistic style to made up creatures. I'm pretty sure I would have messed this up aswell, many of the areas the artist got wrong don't look entirely clear to me. The horns kinda read as brown dots (maybe markings) in the hair so unless the artist went to hunt for more reference pictures in your gallery that could be an issue.

I would suggest to be specific with the areas artists typically get wrong and/or mention the species somewhere on the page to avoid future headache.
 

 

I said something similar in the mod chat. The ears I know I would have done like a lop bunny. It really needs a note on the ref, because it's a very common way to do ears.

Heyo OP, while this was approved as a beware because she agreed to do changes and is now ignoring you.  The quality looks the same to multiple mods, so we didn't approve it on that account.

My charms have been shipped.

Hooray! Let us know when it's in your hands so we can mark it as resolved. 

Heya folks. Quick mod note not to offer services (even free) in our comments. This includes offering to edit someone else's work.

@SilverNares

Howdy! Your comment was not approved as secondary accounts must have definite proof provided that they are the same person. Only same name, same email, or same characters/ art. Were you able to grab screenshots before they deleted?

Howdy, everyone.

I've had to edit nearly every comment coming in, so:  Vani's pronouns are they/them.

(As a note to users we know there are duplicate caps;  The IPS system isn't being nice as of making this post.)

Unfortunately, Teahound has had issues delivering for a number of years.  I'm glad you got your money back in the end.  This is being marked as resolved, but will retain the beware tag.

Hey OP!  Have you been able to find out if the others were traced, too?  Also has the artist responded to you about this?

Hid your post for a split second to censor the Paypal cap and fix the ordering of caps.

Also want to double check that you did get the rest of the money so I can mark this as resolved.

Okidokey time to pop in and call dogpiling. Scourge is going to be the last person to have their reply to Zuazhes's comments approved.  Please use the like feature from here.

OP knew of Toast as a person and financial state.

It does not make the artist look better, but this doesn't make Eelowyn look good either.

Eelowyn can contact me if they want their 6 to 8$ back so badly

Artists are businesses not charity cases. If you can't get an item that at most should be 2 hours of work done in 7 months, then this may not be the field for you. 

When a client asks for a refund and no work has been shown to them, nor the trello is updated, then all work must stop and a refund should be issued. It's the artist's job to maintain the administrative side of their business or outsource it. Punishing the client for not keeping a trello up to date is unprofessional. This stops being a hobby when you take someone's money whether it be $5, $10, or $1000. 

Edit: I also want to point out the artist's prices are drastically low along with the discount for a second one. When you're suffering from a queue a mile long and are also trying to survive off of your art it's imperative to raise your prices the highest your market can bear. Not only for the sake of your hands, but also for the sake of your clients. If you can make the same amount taking half of what you normally do, then there's time to chip away at the backlog.

I get it. Not everyone has the luxury to not spend what they haven't earned. I've been doing commission work for over ten years, and have been there before. However excusing this artist's current behavior doesn't do them any good, and it belittles those of us who strive to offer a good commission experience to our customers.
