A LOT Of People Had Bad Experiences With This Twitter Artist...

[@SalviAlmighty]

It doesn't matter how much money was involved. Telling the people scammed to just "let it go', just just letting the scammer run rampant. This could just be the scammers' strategy tbh. If they accept 20 comms at 50$, ghost them all and they all let it go because it's "only 50$", it's still a thousand bucks scammed off people.

As an artist, 50$ is still a lot of money. Kinda sad when people forget that others aren't in a good spot. Literally had to contemplate getting 50$ shoes for work that are better for my feet and back. Or going to walmart and getting 10$ shoes. I grew up poor, I'm still poor. I would be completely flabbergasted if someone offered 50$ for any of my work lol. Hell, I wouldn't even take 20$ from a coworker, it felt like too much.

This is really unfortunate because I live in a country where Paypal and other similar services isn't fully accessible and I had actually considered using WU but I decided not to since Americans (my main market) tend not to be knowledgable about it or trust it in general. It's so hard to follow your dreams when you don't have the resources to do so, but that doesn't give people the right to scam people like this. It just makes things harder for other artists in other countries making an honest living using WU or other services like it cuz they have no choice.

[@teojoon]

im sorry but i could never be this kind or this patient with that artist compared to the commissioners because communication is the BARE MINIMUM.. their behavior is super scammy / they are a scammer. i feel bad for all the people who got taken advantage of and received too much stress. ppl who blame the victim is insane. Empty promises, lack of communication, posting more comms when u still have a load of unfinished works etc all adds up!

[@wxnderboy]

i don't know if it's just me, but recently there have been a lot more artists failing to treat clients with basic decency. things happen, but some of these people are spending some of the last bits of their paycheck just to get something they enjoy. art is a hard enough industry ( especially with ai ) - and some people struggle just to get commissions. ruining a client's experience with one is horrible. it's basic decency to communicate and be honest with your clients, please.

My file once got corrupted for a fullbody scene(background) commission- I had finished all the linework and flats before it happened. Yes, I needed time before talking. Was it a month? No. Three days. I gave the client a choice- they could get a refund or I could restart work. Tip for artists- do not spend your commission money until it's complete or near complete so you can always offer a refund.

[@GweenOfTea]

Normalize holding commissioned artists accountable for poor communication, this is far too normal of a thing in the community, the lack of communication drives me crazyyyy I have commissioners who won’t communicate with me either and it’s so annoying too

49 instead of 50 is also sales psychology where you'll think it's less than the next rounded up number so "it's not so bad." Like 99,00 isn't 100. It's kind of useless but something that's done in stores anyways - and honestly I get tricked with big numbers sometimes. "At least it's not 100 😅" Idk why they'd use it though.

Some of the incorrect things could be stylistic things but stuff like completely missing markings and bows and fully miss understanding the hair is a lot and not okay imo. I understand losing files and being upset about it but yeah you can't just ignore what you agreed to with the commissioners. ARTISTS, YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE THAT MONEY UNTIL THEY GET THE PRODUCT! It's safe to ask people for some amount up front to avoid being taken advantage of, send a heavily watermarked version for confirmation that they like it, then you get paid the rest and then you send them the unwatermarked one. Until you send them the finished peice you need to treat any money taken for that commission as NOT YOURS TO SPEND! It doesn't matter if you have a non refundable deposit or anything like that in your tos, it's not actually your money until you give them what was agreed on. If you can't do that you need to work a different job until you can comfortably do this because it's part of being a professional and protecting yourself.

Do people not upload their WIPs to google drive or cloud or something? I always upload periodically for my work, not just as a backup but also there's timestamps and stuff that you can show proof that you worked on something if anything happens. In the industry each major step/change we save as a SEPARATE file and numbered. Like ArtworkA_171124_1, ArtworkA_171124_2 etc. This also helps if you want to rollback any changes you made. Anyway, I completely agree with what you said about how all these "maybe" scammers don't bother to communicate or update but you make one little tweet about them and now they're like online 24/7 ready to reply and send you artwork in 20min. Like ok bruh... LOL. It's like they take advantage of your kindness (or naivety) for as long as they can until they're called out for it.

But also, why are you so nonchalant about an artist loosing $50?? idk how to word it but if it was like, $3, then I could understand, but would you just not care if you lost $50 because you didn't get what you wanted??

She was at the last stage of just having to render it, literally everything else was finished (keep in mind it had been at this stage, i want to say for almost a year) with just no updates. I had asked her multiple times to update me, because I just wanted to know whats going on :') even if there was no update to give, but i hope she follows through with partially refunding me as we both agreed on it.

Its all the same, 0 communication unless pressed, 0 professionalism when you hold them accountable, excuse after excuse after excuse. It doesnt matter whether you are spending $5 or $5000, you are taking a risk with most artists. If you take money for a service or a product and don't deliver, no matter the amount, you are a thief and should be treated like one.

I commissioned someone back in august 2nd for a custom character design, which is a simple flat colored design. I was one of I think three custom slots. The artist told me their deadlines are usually 1-3 months, which I didn't mind. Come September, they opened up more slots for customs for September and October, so I messaged them, considering they hadn't yet finished any of the other slots they had, but they told me my design should be done at the end of September. Well, I waited till the beginning of November to ask them about my custom, since they had told me it would be done in September. The artist apologized, told me they got sick and are busy trying to move countries. The only thing for me is, they make adopts several times a week, as they have made a lot of adopts in the time I commissioned them, which was why I hoped mine would get done soon. Didn't give me a new date, but the thing is that I really want a design from the artist, so before I rush to request a refund, since they have financial burdens as well as trying to move, I am waiting till the end of December.

24:09 My goodness, if you're going to confuse what a client is asking for screenshot the text they are telling you and have that text in view while working on the art DX they brought up the dino hoodie twice so far, come on. When I have more then one commission I always label everything, include screenshots of images/conversations of what they are asking for, helpful so I don't have to keep checking back and/or mix up commissions. Best way to do updates I find if give yourself room Don't say i'll start on the sketch tomorrow (even if you do) say something like "I'll have the first stage of sketch into by such and such" I normally give myself half a week. If something comes up let the client know ahead of time. Put your work in a temp folder with the date deadline as the name, etc. I'm REALLY bad at remembering things so I have a lot of backup plans to remind me. If I had a phone I'd even use a schedule ap with an alarm if I could lol. If they keep this bad habit of not updating a client and throwing out bad quality and/or incorrect art from what a client asked for...sooner or later you'll just have no clients. I get it's hard to give bad news to a client if you're behind, haven't made progress like you were hoping, mental issues + irl stuff happens. I have some friends I've sadly "ghosted" the past few months because I just wasn't mentally okay to get back to them. BUT when work/money is involved you NEED to force yourself vs ignoring these clients, they put their faith and money into commission you. Also set a limit of how many commissions you can do at a time! GAAH, I can NOT have a backlog of clients because of my memory, I know my limits. Sadly 5 clients at a time is my limit...Longest time I've taken on a commission was almost a year and that was either a vtuber commission (first time) or a client I had to do 20+ drawings for. Even then I updated the heck out of them, even on days I didn't have progress when asked. I hope the artist does better with how then manage things. Edit: 37:03 Yeah, I don't think this artist was/is a scammer they are just really bad at being a commissioned artist XD I don't know how long they've been at this or new to being commissioned artist yet to find their correct stride. Wish people made the artist accountable sooner though so it wouldn't have come to them being called out by all these past/current clients all at once. Sometimes it is worth it talking to the artist and put your foot down to correct the bad work ethics =shrug= so call outs like this doesn't happen if they aren't a scammer. If putting your foot down doesn't change things then yeah blast away I guess on twitter with your warnings lol. 39:32 Oh...hmm no idea what happened there lol to confused questions as if a commission was being requested.

I’m an artist and this is just based off ME and some friends who are also artists but its mostly because It makes it easier for artists to understand what they’re drawing, kinda like how construction workers use blue prints to pinpoint details in what they are building. With just a drawing of the front or a drawing of the general character, artists can get confused because what if the ocs owner they want to get something where the character is facing away or to the side of our perspective? Reference sheets make it easier to understand and even highlight some key details people usually would miss with just a regular front drawing which has happened to Ocs I have who don’t have reference sheets This is just based off me though and there could be another reason for others to do so!

It's kinda, but it depends on. The level of the artist and how much or little they consider their art to be worth of. Considering this is a character reference sheet, it must at least have front and back view of the character, but that the artist decide to charge 50$ for that it's not really the clients fault

as someone who has had thair hardrive wipe all thair files/art 2 times once very recently with a almost finished com yes it is very frustrateing but it dosnt give the artist the right to ghost the commissioner i recently let my commissioner know that ill be redoing there com bc my hardrive wiped my art that along with getting owed art finished dispite what happened.if you take a commission and dont want to refund then finish the com plane and simple :3

[@praxycho]

Why is it always these scammers getting so many comms but genuin people wont get this many????

[@doghugs6840]

if u lose files, ur clients are the first people u should be contacting directly so they can understand the delay, their lie was so obvious it hurts. edit: i didnt kno i felt the need to say this but NOT EVERY ARTIST ARE MEANT TO TAKE COMMISSIONS I REPEAT NOT EVERY ARTIST IS MEANT TO TAKE COMMISSIONS AGAIN, NOT EVERYONE CAN TURN THEIR HOBBIES INTO BUSINESS PLS STOP ASSUMING U CAN HANDLE TAKING COMMISSIONS/BEING A FREELANCE ARTIST AS IT STILL REQUIRES PROFESSIONALIZM AND EXPERIENCE

2:29 at first im like oh that happened to me my ipad just like completely died like it decided it was its last day but knowing the video this is im assuming its not like that

[@batmanbeyond97]

I’m currently struggling to get a commission I paid for from Studio Heartbreak Artist Tanjeronie. It’s like pulling teeth to try to get a response from them. This is why I hate commissioning people. Have been waiting for since June for 5 expressions 😅

[@atodeblue]

christ- that’s almost half a year at this point. I see your comment was 3 weeks ago; have you gotten any progress since then ?

[@Elizondo_art]

I’ll say this again, this bothers me every time I see these videos and posts because especially now a days people work hard for their money. And these scams make it hard for actual artists like me trying to get work!

[@VandNana]

I have gotten a single art commission how do scammers do this

[@hirahiro2331]

Right?

[@anipii2120]

Artist, HAVE A TOS, and keep com applications in a thing like forms, and you can add your tos to a page and have the client click a box to agree to the TOS protect yourselves and make your TOS easy to find, vgen i belive has in the clients face when they com you

[@Purplefoxess]

She’s also missing her entire tail in the picture on the right it’s behind her boots. It’s not there in the picture on the left.

[@snowiesaber]

SCREAMS

[@BunMunsArt]

I try and be frequent with my posts, fan art and stuff but I don’t even get coms at most only one or three which for my come I give special treatment to each com but oof qwq

[@donimmortal7692]

This is why you went though Fixer, kids

[@DianeCarroll-pb3se]

As soon as I saw their arts I knew it was AI and traced one art with three girls one girl's hand is missing. You can get your money back from western union, call the number or go the request form.

[@TheHuYao]

I love watching your videos while I draw ^^

[@KITTsila5202]

I know snowie since I made fanart of her also discovered her Twitter account before making my fanart

[@hehehheheh292]

blond hair suits you sooo much 🤭

[@NOT._.S0F1A]

Yallll how do I get a Vgen acc? I don’t have twitter or insta so I can’t do the posts they say on the website

[@copferret843]

the hands looked traced from the original sketch

[@MUTT_MOMENT]

While this does seem really suspect, outside of this specific person not communicating n lying n shit, a month REALLY isnt that much to wait especially with a queue, at least in furry spaces which is what im experienced in.

[@ucucy8245]

Also i noticed that the tail is NOT visible

[@liftime_fayla-_-]

The art community is so problematic dawg

[@bokholmes1624]

i think this artist is like, a child... just a hunch.

[@jcdeton72]

True, that wasnt your typical scammer behavior

[@jamethedealmaker]

I like these videos becuae i can learn how to not seem like im scamming/protect myself from scams

[@hirahiro2331]

I wonder if I seem like a scam...

[@Blankets94]

Three minutes here is wild also amazing vid

[@jcdeton72]

edit: nvm her account is protected now

"Your harddrive yeets your files" Well lesson learned, have backups Also do you not use the Recycle Bin? Unsure of how a simple delete would unrecoverably delete files
