That's concerning since I had at a point planned on commissioning them :// I did want to say that the TH username you gave seems to be invalid. I'm uncertain if they changed it or it was simply typed incorrectly.
Reminder: Do NOT harass the artist, this is just a psa for others and to bring an artist's rather poor business practices to light

Their Discord Server
Currently active on Twitter, so I'd message them there if you're having trouble contacting them anywhere else
It seems they deactivated, so email seems to be the best bet of contacting them

My experiences with BoiMilk:
On December 7th I ordered a commission from BoiMilk for 50$. After 5 months of radio silence I asked for an update and BoiMilk offered a refund. I was hesitant because I really liked their art so I asked if how long did they think it would take for them to finish. I got zero response and so after a few weeks did a chargeback because the buyer protection was ending soon. All the screencaps of the conversation are here.
After a while I was curious and saw that their profile had a good amount of comments asking for an update and one person asking for a refund.
Yet instead of giving responses they've just made more adopts with extras you could pay for in the form of icons.
debriuchan's experience:
Original journal post here
I truly hate that it has come to this point, but I have grown frustrated with the fact that I have been deceived for almost two years now. I do not enjoy that I have to make a journal about this, since I do not enjoy speaking negatively of anyone, but alas this is my last resort.
I do not want for anyone to go to this artist and harass them for this, I merely wanted to advise others since I do not know if I am the only one who has been dealing with this, but considering I have been kind enough for as long as I have.. I do not appreciate my kindness being take granted for.
I had made orders in the past with the user boimilk.. I was given a wip of one or my order, but it ended up being scrapped and left to be redesigned. We had made contact through discord and proceeded to chat through there about what it was we should do. We came to the conclusion that it’d be best to receive my money back, but each time I went to ask for money which was over a few months I was told that it was going to be given to me soon. When I had last messaged the artist we had made a decision on requesting the money back, which was made during May 22nd. Since then I have not yet received anything from them. Before I made contact with them on discord I had left a note to them that to this day has been left unread.
Heres the proof of the transactions and some of the conversations that were through notes.
You can find some of the conversations through here: (granted they are out of order, but I am currently on mobile so I can not rearrange them, I do apologize.)

Scorbunny's experience is documentated here. And then another in which BoiMilk threatens to dox them, which is very much illegal.
this reminds me of a situation i had with itaslipy ;w; i am so sorry it happened to you at least you got your money back
oooh yeah ;w; i watched her do it on stream too which was the strange part, she just never gave it to me
This is the same person I heard about threatened to dox someone over a chargeback and told them to kill themselves. I thought there was a psa on them here already?
SquidsInTheAttic what! omg that was a thing???? i didnt even know about that, im gonna look through the psaa
Yeh I have them blocked and on my list I have it noted for that, and then also they were using slurs. They're apparently a really unkind person.
SquidsInTheAttic i couldnt find any thing on them in the psa forum but ill take your word for it. dang i had no idea they were like that :/
Maybe it got deleted? Oof I hope not.
Found the person who wrote it and they ended up saving it to an archive. Hope this helps~
SquidsInTheAttic oh holy crud jeeze i didnt know they had a history. wow i think i remember reading the psa but didnt know they were the same person. ty for the link! i appreciate it, ill go ahead and add it to the psa
