They asked me last week for about $105 worth of commissions (An outfit redesign custom and a pixel art piece of the character with said outfit redesign) and they kept asking for even more commissions despite me not having started the ones I already "owed" them. The 105$ payment never went through despite supposedly paying with credit, which would've taken a day max to impact in my account. They money is still on hold. This sucks really bad because like many artists in this post I really needed that money to pay for things in real life, and while I fortunately wasn't hit with the chargaback yet, the fact it could happen in any moment is awful. I hope everyone that was scammed gets their money back one way or another.
Damn, you too? Seems like just about every artist I follow has been having issues with this person. Funnily enough, they did the same thing to my friend that they did to you with constantly asking for more before what was agreed upon was even done... My whole friend group thought it was weird, but gave them the benefit of the doubt anyways. BIG mistake. Clearly they have some kind of major malfunction, I dunno. I really hope you can still get the money you need despite this! ;v;/
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to your friend, no artist deserves to get hit with a chargeback or put on hold for their income :(( Even if this person has a lot going on, a lot of artists got hurt in the process and it's simply unacceptable, I'll manage with what I have and get some more work and I'll be fine, thank you for your concern Ori!
