Summary:
Mixi accepted a commission, delayed it multiple times for over a year while providing countless excuses, and has since began to ignore messages, outright refusing to communicate. She is not inactive, still streaming and posting new works.
March 9th, 2018
I emailed Mixi with the details of my commission. It was to have two characters, with a large amount of variant versions of the image. Mixi agreed to the request as stated, and placed a rather high price tag on it, which we the commissioners agreed to, specifically stating it was reasonable due to the amount of work requested.
March 10th, 2018
After some difficulty on her part, in regards to the invoice being done correctly, it was finally sent. The invoice was split between the two commissioners - $200 each. This amount was paid in full, along with an additional $20 tip.

Mixi sends an email excusing her delays.

Mixi finally provides the first sketch of the piece.
We have a short conversation back and forth regarding needed changes.

I message Mixi as I have not heard from her in a month.
June 6th, 2018
Mixi messages back an excuse.
Sept 10th, 2018
I message Mixi as there has been no further communication or updates. She replies with further excuses.
Sept 19th, 2018
Mixi sends an image with more work put into it. This is the last update we have received, though the piece is still not completed as per the original specifications. The artist was requested to make some changes to their coloring as they did not reflect the character accurately, and to move forward with the variant versions. This final provided image is unsatisfactory even as a stand-alone, due to the inaccurate depiction of the character, and Mixi agrees to make adjustments.

I message Mixi asking if there was an update. This message was never responded to.
April 22nd, 2019
I message Mixi further stating my dissatisfaction. She replies, stating she is willing to offer a partial refund. I request that she offer specifics on what she is willing to do. She has not replied since.
April 26th, 28th, May 2nd, 2019
I have sent emails on these dates that have gone unreplied to, requesting that she provide specific terms for what she was offering.
Update from comments:
No contact from Mixi in 8 days. Mixi has not clarified on what she is offering in a manner which I can take as a sincere offer.
