On the 17th of January 2025 I reached out to Ryanyeen for a commission I talked to him saying I wanted to get a full body nsfw commission with me and two other friends, while also wishing him well. He lets me know that the deadline for commissions with him is 6 months and we discuss how the payment with it will go. his full body commission price is 250 with an additional 220 for each extra OC however the price for it was quite a lot, i was hesitant to go through with comming him but seeing his art be so high quality i figured it'd be worth it. We agreed on the payment later on being 670 and i explain to him what I'd like to be drawn for the commission, it being me spitroasted by two friends. There was a few red flags which I probably should've acknowledged and avoided him for, such as him having no Que, no slots and asking for the money up front, but because he looks to be a relatively trust worthy looking artist on the surface and he posts art pretty often I assumed he'd be worth the money. I ended up paying the 670 USD to his paypal which was almost 1 thousand dollars in my own currency and I was content with waiting for 6 months since well, that was the deadline he set for himself. Proof of payment: I gave him the ref sheets of me and my friends and left it for a month to let him do his thing, I reach back out on February the 12th and asked him if he had a que, since i felt like someone like him would have plenty of commissions and it isn't clear when he'd start work on mine. I recieve no response from him which is gonna be a bit of a trend throughout this, and i sent him a gif on february 27th to get his attention. He eventually responds to me on March the 3rd, he doesn't say that there's any que but he says he'd hopefully do a sketch for me in march. I haven't recieved any word from him so far so I reach out to him again on the 17th of march asking if he has started with the sketch, to which he responds saying he'd do it later that day, but then had an issue with his teeth which caused him not to be able too. This was still pretty early on and I'm more patient and understanding about it, on the 21st of march he does get around to doing the sketch, however I asked if he could swap em around since my raven friend wants to be the one pounding my butt. I don't recieve any new information or updates regarding the art in the next month and I don't recieve any word about how he's doing with it either even after reaching out to him, I didn't want to be an annoyance to him so i only reached out once every few weeks. On april 29 he apologises for the lack of communication and explains what's causing him to be absent and I let him know it's alright and to take his time with the art, and I end up giving him space for far longer, assuming me asking him for updates constantly isn't helping him at all. two more months passes by and it is complete radio silent from RyanYeen, it was now the middle of the year and I paid for my art back in january which means the deadline he set himself is just about up, I reach out to him on june the 12th more annoyed but still trying my best to be polite, I let him know that I've paid a lot and I'm not satisfied that I've only recieved the incomplete sketch, even asking him for a refund. I was expecting him to not be willing to refund and I sort of accepted that I may not see my money back ever again but I still remained hopeful that he'd complete it overtime since he said he'd focus on completing overdue commissions including mine. over a month later on the 29th of July i still recieved no new updates regarding the commission so i reached to him, he responds two days later saying he's catching up with comms and that he'd send updates of mine later on that week.. I never recieve those updates. August the 3rd was when my and my two other friends patience had completely run thin and i end up sending him this pretty long message which.. Was probably a bit overboard but I was growing more furious that I've paid so much just to still recieve nothing, basically threatening to let other people know about this. Throughout all of that i basically give him 1 month to complete the art or at the very least do *something* or at the very least refund my money or else I and my friends would spread the word that he's a fraud. He responds saying the piece would be finished by the end of the month and that I'd get more updates, I don't recieve any new updates that week but he does post a new update fixing the main mistake of the sketch being my friends sonas being in the wrong spots. I end up letting him know that the shark sona isnt that buff and he ends up fixing that too and began doing more actual progress with the art .. ignore this being underlined, i dunno how this happened this is the most amount of progress I've seen with the art piece during my time with him, he still makes a few mistakes here with my raven friends eye colour and the dick colours but apart from that its all looking promising. But then he suddenly stopped and went quiet, I reached out to him on october 9th asking for an update, he responds the next day saying a new update will come next monday, monday passes and i hear nothing from him. I reach out to him on thursday that week asking if there was any new updates, while also correcting the mistake I didnt notice with dither until then. He didn't respond till the next day when i pointed out dithers ears were also incorrect and were meant to be backwards. He goes quiet once again and i reach out to him on the 16th of november asking him for any new updates he sends the fixes to me the next day and asks me for a thumbs up before he continues with the rendering, to which i say yeah and that I'm glad to just be hearing from him After this i once again go another month without hearing him or getting any new progress, even though he seems to have actually locked in a bit with the art I've basically given up hope with him completing it at this point. He reaches out to me on the 1st of january 2026 saying he'd complete my art next week saying its his top priority, then silence, I reach out to him once more in february asking him if there's anything new, he says the same thing that it'll be finished next week.. And to this day I still haven't heard anything from him. During this time he was still drawing a lot on his main account and his after dark account, even making and offering slots for YCH's while he was neglecting the commission I've already paid him for, ironically enough his most recent art post being him saying he's going to get locked in to completing overdue commissions. There was even a period where he added (WORKING ON COMMISSIONS) or something like that to his twitter name but I don't have any screenshots or anything to back that up so you'll have to take my word for it. I'm in a weird spot where I can no longer be refunded because he has at least done 50% or more of the work with the art, but he's so reluctant on not doing the commission i paid him for despite still drawing and offering YCH's. Unrelated but i ended up creating this and sending it to those two friends today saying "Oh my god look its finally complete, it's beautiful!" It was a funny joke but yeah.. I made sort of a call out post on twitter pinging Ryan and accepted that I'll never see the art fully completed noir get a refund. New update! The day after I called him out on twitter and wrote this to here he just so happened to complete my artwork and sent it to me. I hope Ryan can get his shit together since I do know he is an amazing artist, I feel like if he had slots and a que you could look at, and maybe talked to his clients more he'd be far more improved but for now, I really don't encourage anyone to commission from him.
