For future art trades, I would strongly recommend setting hard deadlines and not providing the full image without some form of heavy watermarking to the other party. Some people may not even finish their end until they see some progress, that way if things stall out? You didn't spend too much effort on your part.
And this is just something I observed in the overall post and how you communicated with the artist throughout this endeavor.
It isn't right that the artist left you on read, but much of your correspondence regarding a follow-up to the trade does not state intent.Yeah I definitely have learned from this aha, I do generally screenshot it now to check if everything's okay then wait for them to post something, since usually whoever I'm trading with finishes before me, I post a screenshot with the PNG grid background and a transparent scribble of my name over it to show that I'm done, then they'll usually send their part then I send the whole version.

While you're both doing the work for fun and in your spare time, it is another form of a transaction and communication should be a bit more formal so there's no mixed messages in the event that things go belly-up for whatever reason.
This is also part of the reason I was a bit hesistant with uploading this too -- at that point I was mainly just starting to do stuff in the art world, art trades etc, and just getting better at art, so I have changed how I speak online to a great degree. I do agree I could have acted a lot better, but honestly I'm just so tired of it now so
But tysm for the response :0

This is actually the first time that actually occured to me, wow. I have not had much coverage to the less happy side of the art world since I tend to stay away from people involved in any conflict in general, so I didn't even imagine that someone would ask for an art trade while not being able to make art.. that really rubs me the wrong way, I hope that's not the case and it's more a motivation thing or something, but I don't know. Tysm for taking the time to comment though :>
