Do not commission Florida Man

by
There is an artist on Pixiv and Pixiv Fanbox that I commissioned named Florida Man. He was excellent for Pokephilia. Quality art for cheap prices, and he seemed like such a chill dude when I talked to him. I was ready to make him my go-to artist for pokephilia NSFW.

The first two commissions went fine. Each time, he was silent for a couple of weeks, but reliably got back to me with the finished commissions.

But for whatever reason, the third commission went downhill.

After a long silence, he sent me an unfinished WIP and he told me that all he needed to do was add the egg and sperm like I requested. I didn't even have to remind him. Which was reassuring.

But then, for no reason that I can see, he went silent and unresponsive for an unusual amount of time. Until he posted the unfinished WIP on his Pixiv Fanbox gallery. No changes from the last time he showed me.

I tried messaging him, asking what gives, but he wouldn't respond. I even sent him an email. A long while after that, I tried to get him to respond today, and he just silently, fucking blocked me!

So to summarize, I paid Florida Man full price for a commission that went unfinished!

So if you like Pokemon NSFW, it may tempting to commission him, but don't. In fact, spread the word about how that asshole could possibly rip people off. Like he did me. His boat deserves to be fucking rocked

Yikes, I’m sorry you had to go through that Slaan.

I just wish there was some way that I could get some form of payback. Or at least some way to get him to respond and explain himself

OOOF, sorry to hear he cut you off for no reason. It sounds like he was too embarrassed to admit he fucked up and instead of talking, he just decided to cut his losses and block you. God damn.

Here’s the thing, it gets worse, the dude is actually a tracer, he steals peoples work and claims it as his own, I think the real reason he blocked Slaan6 was because he didn’t want them to catch up on his scam work

Man what an asshole. Any idea who he traced? I'd rather be aware of them then Florida Man.

He traced over an artist called paper clip work

Holy shit, it's so bad.

I found another where he just copy pasted the ass off from the original to the traced piece. He just removed the fishnets!

Like what the fuck man. The shadows, the tear spots... That's really fucking bad.

It is not your fault man. You didn't know. At least you found out now, rather than later

Wow, that blows! Sorry you had to go through that. Same thing happened to me twice, each with a different artist. But at least they were open with their communications and told me that life was just too hard for them to continue with the commission but still I never got my money back.

And all of this not to mention that I've regularly heard Florida Man being accused of tracing his art.

Might suggest doing an entry on Artist Beware for that. Seems a few artists have been getting bad about it recently.

I already looked into it, and there's nothing I can do. I need evidence, and I have none. I didn't take any screenshots of the conversations we had, and now because I'm blocked, I can't access them

Yep. Couldn't pay through Pixiv at the time so he told me to go with the top tier on his fanbox instead. I did and never heard back from him. Stopped trying after six months. Unsubscribed after about 8.

He actually traces and steals other peoples work and claims it as his own
He traced over an artist called ‘paper clip’ work

I heard a lot of dark stories like these. The most common is the popular type, taking money MONTHs in advance (bye-bye refund claim over paypal) then still not providing, or being VERY evasive, never answering/caring. Sorry to hear.
