It has been 8 days, we are still waiting.

Sorry if this platform isn't meant for providing updates, I'm not sure.

I can insert this information into the body of your post if you'd like.

Heads up that they've recently changed names again, they're currently under ZappBeast Costumes, @ZappBEASTcustom. Their other account is @ZappBeast. 

Howdy thank you!  We will update the tags accordingly.

Howdy.

The artist has attempted to post to this beware, but their comments were reserved for rule violations. (Rule 5)  They have also been banned for legal threats against the OP and us.

OP- spamming the link to this beware on the artist's pages is not condoned by us.  In addition, it is against the ToS of many sites.  While we understand that you want to spread the word about your experience, it isn't a good thing to harass others or get banned for harassment on other sites.

It's still uncensored in one of the screenshots? The fourth and fifth screenshots are the same image but the fifth one is censored and the fourth isn't.

The system that runs our images can be quite magical sometimes.  Anyhow, thank you it's fixed.

The screencap featuring the artist's email has been censored.  Please be sure to review what we ask to be censored in the Submission Guidelines!

Holy moly.  This one is intense.  Firstly, never send payment as Friends and Family.  Artists who insist clients only send via F&F can have Paypal restrict or even close their account if they're caught abusing it.  The fees are business operating fees and should never be shifted to the customer.

Second, almost every commission artist has been in a situation where they realized they undercharged.  You bite the bullet and remember it for next time.

Thank you for this.

I'm honestly surprised it took this long for her to earn a beware given that when I ordered my commission in 2014 she was also having issues with keeping her queue in check.  While she has made excellent strides in dealing with it in the past, it doesn't seem to ever significantly get better.  Unfortunately, I've unwatched her since she adopted a "no refunds" policy and defended it despite it being highly unethical.

I actually do have an addition to this caution. Several weeks ago another artist DM'd me on Twitter saying that Vaxis had told them he'd apologized to me and was trying to be a better person. He has NOT spoken to me since before he was removed from the original A_B LJ community. I have had absolutely no contact and he has not made any apologies to me. If he's messaging anyone claiming he has, he's lying. 

We will stick this as an update to your post!

Hello, LMy name is Coraiden, the friend of Eylon who's living with them and I wanted to confess that I am the one that said these things to you through my friend. Do not blame them for my actions. I thought it would have been just a fun joke to mess with my friend and I guess it did real harm. I am very, very sorry to you and my friend Eylon.

Moderators can see your registered email address.  You are Eylon.  Don't even attempt to pull that stunt here.  Any further attempts from you to keep up this charade will simply not be approved.

I want to note preemptively that while Kuro is welcome to participate in our comments, if he attempts to post any doxxing or any threads in relation to Kiwi Farms he will be automatically banned.  That trash is not welcome here.

I've added their other account to your beware.

The "client" / bewaree (cautionee?) in this instance is so ridiculously incorrect that it hurts.  No, they don't just get to toss out a magical "client ToS" and override your copyright.  Copyright is granted unto you upon creation, and unless you signed a contract stipulating what rights the client has then it all automatically defaults to you.  Filing a lawsuit has to be done in your county with your legal details, which they likely don't have.  On top of that, while they could file suit for just about anything this one would be thrown out because there was no signed contract.

If they attempt to upload the sketch anywhere file a DMCA notice.  If they attempt to get the sketch finished by someone else or violate your Moral Right to it in any manner, please update us and we will upgrade this to a full beware.

This is ridiculous.

The user finally gave me the final image, it is really resolved now. All confirmed. No more issues.

That's fantastic to hear!  We will update our social media accounts accordingly.

Just now, DV2 said:

He gave me the artwork (He must send me the final pic, but he has shown me progress).. That's all i'll say.

If he hasn't actually given you the final image then it really isn't resolved, unless you're willing to accept what he's given you thus far.

The issue has been resolved. Please remove this post already

We do not remove posts, but will mark it as resolved.

Howdy went ahead and updated your post. As a note: users can't delete their own content from our site.

A comment was not approved for proxy. Individuals who have had issues with an artist are welcome to share their experiences, but third parties are asked to refrain from doing so.

Just now, theodor said:

So she sent the refund without even confirming you're email, and it wasnt yours? Did you end up actually getting the refund in hand?

OP has confirmed they got a refund~  We've marked it as resolved.

Howdy the comment was not posted as the only way we would allow this kind of ID is if you could prove it's the same person via name or email address.

Unfortunately this looks more and more to be the case that the client was using a credit card that they should not have had access to.  This generally happens when minors or adults get a hold of their parents' credit card.  Or a parent involved in their life has discovered that they are running up a large balance on their own credit card.  If you contact Paypal again there's a chance they can refund you the credit card chargeback fee.
