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

▌Details:

Around April I posted a thread asking if anyone could do a custom of my stardew valley character. Thyouo posted their art examples and seeing as I really liked what I saw, I reached out to them.

We discussed the details and I paid for the custom on April 21st 2019 as shown by the invoice down below.

However after three months of radio silence I was beginning to get worried, so sent I message asking for an update. At first we discussed me getting a refund, but at Thyouo's suggestion, I opted for them to finish my custom instead

That was the last I heard from Thyouo. I've tried reaching out by sending them a message on toyhouse and via email but I haven't got any response.

At this point there's nothing I can really do. I missed the window to do a paypal chargeback because it's been 7 months and it looks like Thyouo is dead on all of their accounts. All I can do is warn other people in case Thyouo pops up again.

ok so a bit of an update i commented on one of their insta posts and got a reply as shown in the post. tbh the whole excuse of losing ones password and stuff is kind of iffy considering they could have just messaged me on another platform like deviantart but its whatever i suppose
