He's just pissed that you called him out for being a bullshiter! Block him and deny any access to you is all and of course ask for money upfront.

I feel like I've seen something about a user with names having that particular number before, but I can't remember where. All that muscle stuff in his gallery and faves was also one of the particulars too.

maybe thats why he's the the "Real" 951237. burned some bridges and changed his name

Charming. It's always aggravating to see unscrupulous people take advantage of someone like that. Especially someone who's a nice and as generous as you are. And it kinda boggles the mind that someone could think they could not pay an artist for work and then ask for more!

it's funny i just had a commissioner comment that i should have took their money up front instead of after. i told them it's because i want to trust people.
GraceTheGoldenFurred

A lot of artists do ask for payment up front, it's true. But I have a feeling that this sort of person is the kind who would put in a charge-back and then go "oops, my parents/bank/random cosmic forces made me do it". I understand why people are cautious of others when it comes to commissions, especially on the artists' side, but I just wish that didn't have to be the case. It's really a pretty rare and special thing to have a community of artists who are willing to produce custom work for people like this, and that should be respected.

Which isn't to say that asking for payment up-front is a bad thing, if that's what you decide to do. I actually prefer to pay people first. It's just this person doesn't seem trustworthy either way.

Lovely. Just the kind of person who fosters trust in the community, for sure. Too bad this won't make him think twice about cheating other artists.

agreed.
he even showed me other journals who had to bleep his name out. i dont even know what to do now
GraceTheGoldenFurred

Frankly, I'd just block and ignore him if I were you. I don't think there's anything else you could do that wouldn't just result in more aggravation and pointless bickering. I'd leave the journal post up as it is, too, but that's your call.

All the more reason as a commissioner I will go out of my way to ask for the method of payment before the art starts.
joykill
7 years, 6 months ago

Vosur
7 years, 6 months ago
Eh, not exactly wise, but I try to be a good guy and make sure I pay.

7 years, 6 months ago
Sorry to hear about this, man. I, personally, never ask for art if I can't pay up front.
AlessaFox
7 years, 6 months ago
lol what a loser, he actually took my duke weaselton comment and changed his avatar.......well the face now fits the crime thats for sure lol

btws he actually PMed me, thanking me for the suggestion

laughing hard that he doesnt seem to grasp the fact i pretty much called him out as a weasel

His profile says he doesn't do commissions because he believes it's not right for people to pay to see art. Try and check people commissioning you first, because that's a big red flag.

Also, have you reported this to IB?
joykill
7 years, 6 months ago
yes i did, im just to trusting :(

Trust people, just not with your time and money (hugs)
Shame this happens, but it does, and you are lucky to be just $25 in. Don't take me wrong, it's not like I'm saying it's a too small amount of money, but on my previous job the whole firm got dragged with hundreds of dollars, more than one time (facepalm)  And I see more than a few artists getting dragged like so and still keep going blindly with their clients :|

Duly noted. I shouldn't think he would request/commission me at all, but I shall not be taking any payments from him if he did [not likely to happen] =\
Sorry to hear of your troubles Mr Joy of Kill, hope this doesn't inconvenience you in future.

If anything, watermark the hell out of any WIP sketches you send, if you do that. Then watermark the hell out of the 'final' product for approval, and then wait for payment before sending.
