https://artists-beware.livejournal.com/992298.html Who: Lost-Paw Where: FurAffinity and Twitter http://www.furaffinity.net/user/lost-paw https://mobile.twitter.com/lost_paw What: Digital art When: April 2017 to April 2018 Explain: Keeping this short because the screenshots tell the story. I commissioned Lost-Paw on Furaffinity in April of 2017 and have yet to receive my commission. I’ve followed up on its progress numerous times and they’ve told me that the commission is completed but they’ve yet to send it. They even re-did it this year since they were unhappy with the first version and I have seen a WIP of the second version but still no finished piece. Regardless, I’m beginning to doubt that it’s actually finished as they’ve stated. To combat any questions which may arise, no I did not get the partial refund. The point of this beware is on my 1-Year wait and the fact that I have still yet to receive what I paid for. Nothing more, nothing less. Proof: Screenshots here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/grrcvd6vgpb33q0/AABoPausNQFnyXEX5Zhahn8Ja?dl=0 I’ll update the screenshots and the post depending on how things progress.

WHO: Lost-Paw WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/lost-paw WHAT: Two digital art commissions, one an upgrade of a previous sketch, totaling $300 WHEN: Mid-July '17 — Present EXPLAIN: Back in July I commissioned Lost-Paw for $300 worth of art, an entirely new piece as well an upgrade to a previous one I had gotten from them, with the promise from them that it would be completed immediately. I waited a week, and they said it would be done. Then a month later I heard it would be done by the end of August. In late September I asked for a refund and they said they would give me one, as over two months had passed at this point and I was entering school again. Since then I periodically checked in with them to see how it was going and heard things about them working on, but never answers that were too specific. They opened comms multiple times, and made promises that art would be completed but they've barely posted anything on their FA or Twitter since then. Now 8 months after my original comm they haven't read any of my messages in over a month, but are still active on Twitter. Additionally they seem to owe a good number of other people, and have no publicly posted queue anywhere to track just how many it is. As it's been over 180 days I'm no longer protected by PayPal or eligible for a chargeback, so I'm left without options. PROOF: Full conversation history (Some censored NSFW art): https://imgur.com/a/aAaH7 Edit 3/27/2018: Shortly after this post was made the artist contacted this user and sorted the issue out with them, being extremely apologetic about it and quickly issuing a refund for the full $300.
