https://artists-beware.livejournal.com/872392.html WHO: Apocalypse ReFurred, Thysyrael WHERE: Facebook Apocalypse ReFurred page and via messages WHAT: A pair of resin/ polymorph pastic clawed hand paws and feet paws with promise of quick turn around by April 4th. WHEN: March 18th 2015. – Commission placed. March 22nd – Fur I supplied arrived at maker’s address. March 24th – Commission paid for in full. April 3rd – Photo of hand paws WIP received, April 4th – Original deadline. April 16th – Photo received of feet paws in ductape wrap, ready for furring. ( Several different life problems occurred for the artist, such as pet passing, theft etc. throughout the months. I can try to give specific dates for these if required) 6th September – After no updates, I ask again for one or for a partial refund and what’s been made to be sent to me so I can complete myself or resell. 7th September – Refunded and items sent to me 11th September – Items recieved PROOF: ( Me in purple, her in green) Facebook messages part 1 Facebook messages part 2 Paypal receipt Message mentioning the polymorph plastic I missed Items themselves; Overall paw shape ( My ref for character, notice the paws are more lizard or simian shaped) Animal hair 1, 2, 3 Unglued edges Hand paws Claws They look like Fimo to me EXPLAIN: Back in March, I was preparing for a convention on April 4th when I found that my fursuit feet and paws where in very rough condition from general use. I asked about on the UK Furry Facebook groups for a maker or someone seller paws and a maker came forward. I looked at their stuff and while they weren’t high end makers, their paws looked fine and they offered to complete it within the admittedly tight deadline. I already had some fur left over from when I tried to make the fursuit and we agreed for a lower price ( £80) if I sent this fur over. A day before the deadline ( April 4th ) I received a phone photo of the hand paws. They looked a little rough, but I assumed it was just the camera quality. I later received a photo of ductape covered feet paws. They looks a little odd and I asked if the tape was pulling the toes apart, giving them a wider look. She assured me they were fine so I continued with the commission a little apprehensive. Then a myriad of personal and family problems for the maker reared up, from a pet passing away, to a parent being very ill and then robbery. There were also problems with the dye not adhering to the resin claws that I’d asked for. She said she would contact the maker and complain. Every so often, I’d ask for updates and get told that there was a problem and she couldn’t send photos. After the April 4th deadline, I’d hoped that the paws would be ready for Confuzzled in May. No such luck, I ended up going suitless which was kinda sad. 7 months later, I was promised an update within 2 weeks. No update came and I was fed up. I asked for a partial refund ( as some of the commission was complete) and for what was made to be sent to me. She agreed and the £5 refund along with the unattached claws and paws where sent to me. The paws arrived quickly but in very poor condition, which I’ll detail in sections; Feet Paws – They are way too wide and off model, looking more like duck feet. There is glue blobs, holes between the fur and the sole, but the worse thing is the smell. They stink badly of dog so much that it’s as if the animal has sat on the foam or fur. I reported this to the maker ( as some of my family suffer from allergies), she explained that the fur and foam was kept away from the animals and the only way they’d smell is if she’d passed it on from petting the animals. However, there is white and brown animal fur on the paws as well as general fluff. This hair cannot be from when I supplied the fur as we have no pets. Hand Paws – very roughly made, though they are incomplete, they too are smelly. They also fit ill. Claws– These are not polymorph plastic, but instead hand sculpted Fimo clay and have finger prints and dirt in the clay. I googled the plastic, which appears to be a shiney, usually white product similar to glue gun glue. In the end, I am very disappointed. I don’t think I can even sell these items without thorough repair and cleaning. She seems to be a young maker and as such, isn’t very professional yet. Edit: Update 2/10/2015 I contacted the maker a couple of days ago about the animal fur with pictures. I asked her again if the animal had been in contact with the paws and she said the fur ( which is clearly animal with colouring and tapering... plus, y know, the stink!) was faux fur from another suit she was making.

Nov. 9th, 2012 at 12:44 AM annoyeddragon It should be noted that this beware is similar to one that already exists on Paint, posted by Acroth. http://artists-beware.livejournal.com/tag/artist-paint As you can see from this old journal by Paint. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2950583/ We're both on there (I'm ADF). The only difference is Acroth had the sense to go after a refund opportunity were as I stuck around longer, naively thinking if I was just patient and showed understanding during delays; that Paint would either do my art or refund me eventually. But here I am months on, still waiting. I stuck with her all this time and I'm afraid to say I am no better off for it 😞 I wish I didn't have to post this, but I haven't much choice given the present situation. Who: Paint, they prefer Skink but I'm used to calling them Paint. Where: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/paint/ (NSFW page content if you have an account) What: Three separate commissions agreed at different dates. I've created copies of the conversations concerning each one, censoring out e-mails and any mature details. They are in order of when they were taken on, with the first being the most late. Conversation - http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6821/paint1q.png These were eight different nude poses of a character I called Emily for fun, which was an unusual human/lizard hybrid from a transformation story I wrote. They were coloured sketches and the price tag came to $50. Unlike the other two commissions, this one was half completed and I have received four of the eight images. But progress inexplicably stopped. Conversation - http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/4240/paint2a.png This was a character sheet for a new lizard sona I was hoping to get as an alt to my current one. It involved a clean/adult version of the same sheet. The price came to $71. No progress has been made on this commission. Conversation - http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/94/paint3jd.png A transformation comic of a mature nature where a couple turn into anthro iguanas. Most of the details for this commission were agreed during a livestream so there is no record of those conversations, the above was just getting the details down so they had something to reference during the stream. The price came to $75. The stream ended before Paint could get around to my commission, so she told me to attend tomorrows stream where she would work on it. I did, but she was too busy doing newly paid for commissions from that stream to work on my one, so it never got done. Some may ask why I would be silly enough to take up a third commission with Paint when she already owed me two that were late... I was assured the reason they were delayed so long was because Paint worked better during a stream, that work gets done during a stream. So I trusted her when she said a commission taken on during the stream would get done, but of course it didn't... When: When I started to feel no progress had been made for too long, I started contacting Paint regarding this. A record of these conversations can be found here. http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7392/paint4.png As you can see, the artist/customer relationship slowly disintegrated over time. While initially expressing a will to get these commissions completed, communication later collapsed. Proof: Here are the payment details for these commissions. Most of the discussion regarding these commissions are in the links included in the above section. http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/541/paypaltransactions.png Explain: I feel I have done everything I could of to resolve this matter. I kept in touch, I attended streams when I was told she could do them then, I was open for negotiation on how to move forward with them. I went above and beyond some others when it comes to showing patience and understanding with Paints regular problems, but ignoring my messages has really left the situation hopeless. The only alternative to maintain conversation would be to invade a journal or stream and hijack the discussion for this purpose, which inevitably would have led to me being made to look the bad guy... The worst part is, and probably why I've tolerated this for so long, is because I don't want Paint to dislike me 😞 I still don't, but I cannot imagine she will be happy to see I have posted this. My question to her would be "what else could I have done?" because I tried everything. I begged you to work with me to resolve this matter in the end and you responded with the silent treatment, what more could I have done? I hope she cares enough about what other people think that being posted up on Artists Beware will prompt her to want to get this matter sorted. But given she is already up here for reasons similiar to my own, I'm just not sure... Best case scenario is I'm refunded for the commissions (accounting for reductions for the completed Emily poses) and we can both move on. Maybe in time even get over this experience and get back on good terms again? But that's just me being hopeful. Refunds $171/ $171 Refunds are to be made every Friday over six weeks, so $28.50 per payment. 17/11/12 - $28.50 received 24/11/12 - $28.50 received 30/11/12 - No payment was receieved this Friday. 03/12/12 - Paint had forgotten and apologised, will be getting payment later. 04/12/12 - $28.50 received 07/12/12 - $28.50 received 15/12/12 - $28.50 received 24/12/12 - $28.50 received

Disclaimer: the screenshots I have are the best I can get from discord chats where I talked with others about the commission months ago. Commissioner blocked me (see attachment 1) immediately after my saying I wasn't content with my commission compared to others they've done, thus I cannot get any other screenshots than those I have here. -- Proper: Our first contact about the commission was right after they posted they were open for commissions and (of I remember right) in need of help financially. I had talked with them previously, as they made a nice little $10 pinup of my lizard boy (Attachment 2), and I even made them a little art as thanks in return. They seemed nice, so why not help them out and see what they can do for a full piece? April 7th, I paid the $140 (attachment 3) for a full shaded piece with a background and showed them all my references for my Y/veltal and U/mbreon characters performing missionary position and its supposed to be romantic. I will note that shaded characters is worth more than background (attachment 4), and the background ended up being the subject in the end piece. After the start of our commission, they seemed to go pretty fast! They got me the first sketch within 3 days, which came in the form of just a fully lined "background". (attachment 5) Took me off-guard because that never happens, getting the background (lined) before even seeing a sketch of any sort, especially the subjects. Thought maybe the subjects would go on the couch or floor or something (since I didn't specify where, which was in retrospect may have been my first mistake, and they wouldn't tell me what they were about to do). I figured I would wait it out and see what they do. Waited quite a while, a month went by, another month...I was beginning to wonder, so I asked if there was any progress. Each time I asked, they simply answered "no progress". Meanwhile on Twitter I had noticed them saying they were too depressed to work or some such thing, then it turned to them being in art school all of a sudden. And whenever they were in the mood, they'd spit out about 5 pinup commissions at a given time. By the time I even got an update (which I will touch on in a moment), there had to have been about 30 to 40 commissions finished by them. That is not an exaggeration. I confronted them about it and after a few times of trying, they did indeed confirm that they took many MANY commissions at once, and it's been piling up ever since. And yet they are still asking for commissions and taking over a year to finish what I assume to be most of them. Moving on, the first update I got since the lined background was on February 11th, 2020 (attachment 6) I voiced my concern that the subjects weren't in the foreground and were instead in the background (attachment 7) while also trying to be nice because they were supposedly my friend, and the fact they'd been going through a lot (allegedly). Their only response was "this is what it looks like zoomed in" (attachment 8 ) which is a big yikes because, not only was it low res if you did zoom in, but it's also the fact it's not the focus, is a big no-no. I voiced my concerns again, and she left me on read. February 13th, another update. They only showed that they had colored and shaded the "background" which I thought looked pretty dang good, all things considered. (attachment 9) But no sign of whether Chio decided to move the characters anywhere else. Figured I would wait and see. Fast forward to APRIL 15TH with no prior WIPs, the characters were lined and flat colored already. I was so done and tired at this point and just wanted it done that I just couldn't bear to say anything. Other than just shade them, because obviously there was nothing I could do at this point. They had already got it set in stone without my permission. (attachment 10) Their reaction to "shading" the characters? (like I had bloody paid for) They darken the room. (attachment 11) So I figure, well, if you're going to do that, maybe can shade it nice with some glow effects from the U/mbreon that bounce off the Y/veltal and the walls and all? No. All that happens is that they add a glow around the markings. (attachment 12) Nothing spectacular. I paid full price for this. And the BACKGROUND is the FOREGROUND, and the characters aren't even shaded. Full piece: (attachment 13) Friend asking if full piece is a wip: (attachment 14) Proof of talking with my friends about this even early on when I found out it was in the background: (attachment 15) Other examples of art released at the same time that is better: (attachment 16) I'm sorry, but that is a failure to do what you have to do. Failure to communicate and make sure. Failure to get things done. Failure on the level of taking on way too many commissions and getting none done for an eternity. And then screwing up a full piece, which should be considered having /more/ care and effort put into it than your average pinup. Tl;dr -Takes too many commissions, and thus takes over a year to do your art -Not good at communication on commissions to make sure its what the commissioner wants -Overly sensitive if you say anything negative at all There were no WIPs before this.

She was fantastic about the sudden change, making a slight mod to one of the figures, and swapping out eye colours. I would seriously, without hesitation, recommend folks throw money at her to make pretty pictures. circlingfreedom Oct. 1st, 2011 07:07 pm (local) 1. WolfyT 2. http://wolfy-t.deviantart.com/ 3.

Mary Mouse 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/marymouse (among other places) 3. Midwest FurFest 2006 4. I commissioned a conbadge from her. She had it finished and I was able to catch up with her to pay and collect it the next day. The artwork was awesome and I continue to use that image as one of my avatars to this day. The only disappointment was that the hole punch for the badge holder was through part of the headfur. Later I scanned the badge and sent her a courtesy copy (as I try to do with all badges and artwork I commission, though it sometimes it takes me a while to get access to a scanner). She sent it back to me less than a day later, with the hole punch repaired in the virtual copy, and with the colors brightened as well. You can't tell it was there! poizenkat Oct. 2nd, 2011 10:19 am (local) Oh yes! Mary Mouse is great! celestinaketzia Oct. 2nd, 2011 09:08 am (local) -pancakes- 1. -Pancakes- 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/-pancakes-/ 3. Commissioned her yesterday for a chibi via Teenycom. 4. She's new, and her transaction with me was absolutely fabulous. Firstly, I had info and payment sent in the morning. By the afternoon she was already showing me sketches, and had the whole thing finished by that night. It was amazing! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6602176 Here's my commission. :3 poizenkat Oct. 2nd, 2011 09:33 am (local) Dipper 1. Dipper 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/dipper/ 3. a few weeks ago 4. Dipper was a pleasure to commission. Fast replies, very sweet, and she finished it in GREAT timing! Her art is absolutely stunning and she REALLY pays attention to detail. I just LOVE the outfit and just about every little thing in this piece (hair, boots, tail, ears, headshape, hands, etc.) Well done and i hope to commission her again! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6535330/ poizenkat Oct. 2nd, 2011 09:40 am (local) Corriezodori 1.

She never fails to impress me with her talent, especially at such a young age! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6528033/ a picture for me and my girlfriend. She did a stunning job and added even more detail then i had paid for! Beautiful piece and i hope to print it and hang it up sometime! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6473005/ A nice vore picture that was paid for and finished right away in a stream! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6477742/ a beautifully done gift that i feel deserves to be shared. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6522753/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6445244/ Two collab commissions done by her and Ayriea.

They was very nice and understanding when i had a small paypal issue (cant send in CAD unless im invoiced). They worked fast and did a WONDERFUL job at it! It fits the characters personality perfectly and is a very well done piece, especially since its called a sketch XD http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6519159/ I'm a big fan of their works and hope to commission them again! poizenkat Oct. 2nd, 2011 10:15 am (local) 1. Zipperface 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/zipperface/ 3. about a month ago 4. I've commissioned Zipperface quite a few times and i LOVE their art style! This time i commissioned them for a picture for my friend and a second one for myself. Their toony style is ADORABLE! They even decided to put more detail into my piece and make it more than a chibi! http://i.imgur.com/jBokh.png http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6507893 puritikoneko Oct. 2nd, 2011 11:13 am (local) Dawniie 1.

I have always admired Dawniie's style of art, so when she was open for commissions, I jumped at the chance. Her use of bright, soft colors is amazing, and she won't leave you disappointed. She has a decent turn-around time, and is ALWAYS open for communication and is very friendly with her responses. She also pays a great attention to detail and makes sure that you get WIPs during the course of her work.

Nekophoenix is a phenomenal traditional artist, who I've only had the pleasure of commissioning twice. She did an absolutely outstanding job on the traditional piece I commissioned her to do, and when she wasn't able to complete it in the initial time she gave me as an estimate, she even went as far as to include some extra sketches in the package she sent me as compensation. A friendly person to work with, she will ship you the original and may include extra goodies in your package.

Shikaro took a reference sheet commission Wednesday, details were exchanged Thursday morning, and the entire sheet, along with a preview sketch was all completed that very night! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6615178/ 2 views, 3 detail shots, and information added for only 40$, less then a day's wait! This girl's work is hilly overlooked! Her queue is empty, and she's willing to do edits and revisions untilmshe gets your reference just right! Definitely recommend this girl. I'm also going back to hop in her queue ❤️ laurenashleyart Oct. 6th, 2011 04:47 pm (local) Re: Shikaro Highly* not hilly... latiro Oct. 10th, 2011 08:51 pm (local) suan-cat 1. suan-cat 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/suan-cat/ 3. from Oct. 7 to Oct. 10 4. she was surprisingly fast on the commission I got (it took approximately 2 days).

Kayla-Na 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kayla-na/ 3. First picture: 9/18/11; second picture 10/08/11 4. Details: Overall I have to say that the artist is, in all honesty, very professional in her conduct. Her communication skills were excellent, the quality of her work was as I had expected it to be if not more so. All in all, if there was an artist who I would most certainly recommend, she is one of them. For an idea of her work, here is the picture that I had purchased on September 18th: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6593140/ And here is the one that I had purchased on October 8th (there is a mistake in the secondary coloration of the dragon character but that is my own fault not hers, as I had forgotten to give her the reference of the character, believing she may have remembered from a picture I had commissioned from her before that): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6666048/ If you are looking for an artist who is fair in her prices and has good turnaround time, Kayla-Na/MeltheHybrid (the latter here on A_B) is an artist I highly recommend. latiro Oct. 22nd, 2011 04:47 pm (local) Hoot/Dictator 1.

She sent several preliminary sketches and was more than happy to make minor corrections.

I had her draw me a full-body color image of my OC, Mena Mynxxx. I explained her that I'd pay on payday, gave her references and details. Paid on Payday as promised! She sent me a sketch that wasn't quite right so I pointed them out and she fixed it no problem! She got the final piece done just yesterday! I love her portrayal of Mynxxx! When she was done, she had asked if she needed me to change her skin color, and would be willing to fix, but I told her it was fine! Her style is amazing, so I recommend commissioning her <3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v327/notorious_hunty/Mynxxxfinal.jpg notorious_hunty Jun. 18th, 2011 07:12 am (local) Wave-chan! 1.

I loved her meovel vs. catcom and Megaman Chibis so I just had to get one from her! ^_^ Communication was flawless and even got the sketch for me before I paid! Since it was a chibi, I didn't add too much detail, but forgot to ask what my character's relationship is with the canon character for a pose. I had explained it, but had no clue for a pose in particular, so I gave her some artistic freedom. There was a small error I pointed out, and she fixed it, no problem! And having done that.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v327/notorious_hunty/axlmynxx_col.jpg I'm really pleased with this piece, and so was she! ^_^ She had a lot of fun with it, which is what's the best part as a commissioning customer!

Around May/June. 4. She purchased one of my originals for sale and commissioned a companion piece for it as soon as it arrived. Communication went fine, fast and uncomplicated. Fast payment, no issues at all. This was fun. korsetkoat Jun. 18th, 2011 06:13 pm (local) Samyena 1. Samyena on FA 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/samyena/ 3. Two days ago. 4. Sam is real friendly, and quick too. My commission (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5946526) took less than an hour, as has almost anything I've commissioned her. I also have a personal preference to how she does shading, and her willingness to do strange looking creatures. hunter_san Jun. 19th, 2011 04:39 am (local) Lucareon 1. Lucareon on FA 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/lucareon 3. Last week/early June 2011 4. Commissioned me for the works (background/shading/colour/lines/ffx). Lucareon was a really polite and organised commissioner. Everything was straight-forward (used my quote query form! 10 points +), paid promptly, was really pleased with everything and just left me warm fuzzy feelings over. A+++ Will accept commissions from again ;) The absolute best point was when they encouraged me to rest after I mentioned being a day behind due to illness. mmyesidosay Jun. 20th, 2011 08:52 am (local) Vekke (had to delete previous comment due to having the wrong link in there X( ) 1.

She had an injured wrist (which she let me know about before I placed the commission, and still got it out in great time.

It looks great, I'm incredibly impressed, and the artist was very fast and professional. Would definitely love to nab something else from here again whenever she has the time :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/51631428@N05/5853013970/in/photostream/ mmyesidosay Jun. 20th, 2011 09:03 am (local) excess-0 1. excess-0 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/excess-0/ 3. Ordered earlier in the month, and waited in a queue. It was very short, considering how much work she had, and she was so polite and sweet by apologizing for the wait, when it really wasn't bad in any manner. 4. My frist ref sheet~ :D Based on a picture or two that I gave her, and maybe a short written description, she nailed Aunburian's look perfectly. I was taken aback by how perfectly she'd gotten my gryphonchica to look! So fast too, perhaps literally over night and it was done. And the artist is an absolute sweetheart to boot. Ive never had fun having quick, tiny chats with an artist like I did with her. Especially from such an incredibly talented artist, as they can come across as a bit intimidating at times, she was just amazing, and by the end I just wanted to give her a hug. haha http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5949168 unicorn_magic Jun. 21st, 2011 04:47 pm (local) hunter_san/weavermage 1. hunter_san/weavermage 2. Her Deviantart 3. April 2011 4. I think this was the best commission experience I've had. Weavermage was very prompt in all communications and the final art was exactly what I wanted. She worked with my suggestions and was pleasant to talk to. Everything was finished ahead of schedule. I definitely recommend her!

I rarely commission other artists, because usually when I want something panned out on a canvas, I do it myself. However, I'm too busy with commissions atm to really produce something nice for myself. So I asked PurpleKecleon to do a Pokemon-themed picture for me. Waited for about a month, but the wait was worth it (I think she had a fairly large list anyway). Anywho, the picture she made for me was just eye-candy in all aspects. I actually found myself drawn towards the fire and the water more in the image then the characters themselves. Expensive commission, but worth every penny. Plus, she's very nice to boot. :) Picture can be found here(WARNING: NSFW): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5910646/ straychowchow Jun. 23rd, 2011 03:21 am (local) SoulsPoison 1.

Not only was she very kind and prompt in her responses, the art was recieved the very next day. I highly suggest commissioning her, especially for her wonderful brush pen pieces. I may be getting another one, soon. For those curious, the finished commission: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5971188

Details: Tarorae had indicated that she had a need for some fast cash, what with a wedding coming up and a new house, etc. I offered a substantial sum in exchange for four or five unspecified commissions. I am a photographer and she is a talented artist. We did a good handful of shoots and life went on. She got in contact with me eight or nine months later to remind me that I still had commissions outstanding. We discussed an item (reversible two-toned collar) and I, again, promptly forgot about it. Until she delivered it. No drama, no mess, no hassle. Tarorae has consistently delivered quality products and material. She recognizes her own limitations and is willing to work to spec or collaborate, as appropriate. xtheroguewolfx Feb. 4th, 2012 07:40 am (local) 1. Name: Cookiehana 2.

XD She was very quick and did an awesome job with the characters. Did a great job capturing personalities from just a couple descriptive words. She also was more than willing to use my suggestions on Rooster's and Trist's clothes/weapons and didn't shy from taking on three commissions at once from just me (Roy, Rooster, and Trist).

The sketch was a join.me stream commission and she was kind enough to let me pay the day after she did it. I'm so pleased with how she handled both my characters, and the strongest recommendation I can give her is that I very much want her to do a reference sheet for my lizard-girl as well, and have booked a spot in her February commission list. The Xmas pic was a gift from someone and if I had any remaining, lingering doubts that Demona could handle drawing my little scalie, this completely destroyed them. Now it's February and she's working on the ref sheet for Sh'sthress and I have no doubts at all that it will be magnificent.

I'm also happy to say that the subsequent pieces I've commissioned from her have been an equally delightful experience. The headshot is lovely as well; it has a kind of wistful quality to it, and there is a lovely liquidness to hir eyes in this. The solo pic of Sh'sthress is a prime example of where she applied her experience as an artist to achieve the feeling I wanted for a piece; she took the rather generic pose idea I had and turned it into something much, much more than I had envisioned. At the moment, Taasla is working out the preliminary sketch for a trade piece with me, and I'm looking forward to seeing it!

He does both digital and tradtional work, and I've been the recipient of both. The first pic is traditional, and is his part of a trade we did. I love the whimsical quality of his work, and he is another artist who keeps excellent communication and feedback with his commissioners. I'm proud and pleased to say I have another piece of work in progress; he's doing the reference sheet for my newest character, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the draft. Also, though I haven't gotten any stories from him, he does those as well, and very good ones. tornaderman Feb. 5th, 2012 02:48 pm (local) 1. Name of the person you recommend: SpaceVoyager 2.

Though I consider her a friend, she treated me with the same professionalism / businesslike air as any other customer (a boon IMO!). She's also extremely honest about wait times as well as being very open about progress and providing a more than fair amount of WIPs. Not to mention the final product is astounding.

Link to their website or art page. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/driprat, http://pholph.com, his webcomic JACK which is very NSFW. 3. Approximate time period of when you did business with them. Began a month ago, concluded 9 days ago. 4. Details (Here's where you tell us why they are so awesome! What made the transaction go so well? Perhaps link to the art or suit you bought/sold if you feel like sharing. Please mark NSFW if the subject matter is adult!!) DripRat was doing 20 dollar commissions just to make ends meet and I had a little bit of disposable income so I ordered an image of my interpretation of Anubis. He accepted and I was added to his queue. I got to watch him work on it on Livestream and he was in constant communication. While waiting in his queue my laptop power cord died so I emailed him to let him know I might not be around and my payment might be late. Luckily the stars aligned and I got a new cord before the commission was complete.

Two weeks ago 4. This was the first thing I ever commissioned with USD and I'm more than happy with the result. I commissioned a bug-eye icon (see my icon) and despite the offbeat request (including the tarantula) she did a wonderful job and made it super cute! Very fast and friendly, would for sure recommend her. scenceable Dec. 1st, 2011 07:30 pm (local) 1. R. Wake/ Sovae/ Indigo-ocean 2. http://indigo-ocean.deviantart.com/ 3. June 2011 4. I commissioned a sculpture from them. Not only is she an amazing sculptor, but is really friendly, worked on my commission quickly, and was professional throughout. The sculpture arrived with a cracked tail and she handled the issue really well. Highly, HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for a sculpture. She also sells blank resin casts for pretty cheap. scenceable Dec. 1st, 2011 07:33 pm (local) 1. Magweno/ Carn-Dearg 2. http://carn-dearg.deviantart.com/ or http://www.magweno.com/ 3. Earlier this year, and again this month 4. I commissioned an art doll from her a few months ago. Everything went so well. She had great communication throughout, showed me WIP photos, and was super friendly. The doll was very very well made and exactly what I asked for. I commissioned her again recently, I don't have the doll in hand yet but so far the transaction has been perfect. She currently has a long waiting list but I'd very much recommend either trying to get a commission or purchasing a doll from her on ebay or etsy in the future.

She replied within 24 hours, which I paid, and 48 hours later I see this in my inbox: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6946897 . I basically squealed out-loud when I saw it. She went above and beyond what I expected, and did exactly what I asked for. The backround is beautiful and she captured my character in a beautiful way, and I am definitely coming back to commission her again, for likely something much more then $10. theflamecrow Dec. 1st, 2011 09:08 pm (local) 1.

I've made the joke that if furry art were like Fursquare, Reaux would be the mayor of my badge box. I first met her at one of the local events, and proceeded to watch her on FA. I really liked her work, so I decided to commission her. I can not say that I am anything short of impressed. She has a great turn-over rate, is wonderful to work with, and very agreeable pricing. She also preformed some minor fursuit work, namely the eyes, which I am also very happy with.

He first commissioned me around a month ago [Oct 28th, this commission was completed] and has since commissioned a second picture [in sketch stage] and purchased a character from me. 4. Jinx is prompt with payment and to give feedback. He's super polite, super generous and definitely values the artist and artwork highly. He's always been respectful and just...made me feel really good when I completed that first commission, he was so happy with it. :) It's made me want to go above and beyond in my work with him. If he ever approaches you for a commission, you'll have a good time. Absolutely no complaints. clockworkshadow Dec. 5th, 2011 03:51 am (local) Seconding R_Jinx1 he's an absolutely wonderful commissioner. cremate Dec. 6th, 2011 11:41 pm (local) thirding this.

I'm also happy to say that the subsequent pieces I've commissioned from her have been an equally delightful experience. The second piece is a prime example of where she applied her experience as an artist to achieve the feeling I wanted for a piece; she took the rather generic pose idea I had and turned it into something much, much more than I had envisoned. I recommend her highly! sigilgoat Dec. 3rd, 2011 10:52 pm (local) PeachesMcGee 1. PeachesMcGee 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/peachesmcgee/ 3.

The sketch was a join.me stream commission and she was kind enough to let me pay the day after she did it. I'm so pleased with how she handled both my characters, and the strongest recommendation I can give her is that I very much want her to do a reference sheet for my lizard-girl as well, and have booked a spot in her February commission list. iciewolf Dec. 4th, 2011 03:41 pm (local) CatInYourCloset/Caticus 1.

She is even holding a raffle for 10 free icon commissions! She is just honestly great all around, she even made a tutorial to help me with using oekaki. Go show her some love for Christmas and maybe get a commission or two. :D inkstainedrat Dec. 6th, 2011 07:22 pm (local) 1. Coonkun 2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/coonkun 3. August to Dec 1 4. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6962912 Coonkun wasn't really taking commissions at the time, but I think he made an exception because it was a gift to celebrate my graduation from basic training. My husband gave him a couple pictures to work with, and Coonkun provided a piece that FAR exceeded all expectations. He warned us about his busy schedule ahead of time and maintained excellent communication throughout. He always had progress updates and was readily available the entire time. He was quick to make edits, and worked very hard to ensure the details were all correct. In short, he was a dream to work with. spartanwerewolf Dec. 9th, 2011 06:00 am (local) Excess-o I'm so late, but: 1: Excess-o on FA 2: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/excess-0/ 3: Sept 28-Oct21 and again in November. 4: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/6713726/ Pinged her at the end of Sept for a portrait of my badger character (my first time as a commissioner), and she exceeded all my expectations. She was friendly, responsive, and does amazing work, particularly if you like creepy/unsettling/gory work (I do). Her portraits (I'm using the one she did for me as my icon) are like $5, which is a stupendous price for the high quality you receive. I've already commissioned another portrait, and plan on getting a larger commission at sometime in the new year.
