Artists Beware: Mukluk/shootitout

[freeziclepop.livejournal.com]

WHO: Morgan/shootitout/Mukluk

WHERE: deviantArt

WHAT: Digital art trade.

WHEN: October, 2011

PROOF: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n161/weirdsonic/One.png

EXPLAIN: In October me and shootitout had decided on doing an art trade, it was discussed, the characters to be drawn discussed. We chatted throughout this time. I finished my side of the trade, they were very happy to receive.

Entire conversation on the piece can be seen here: http://freezicle.deviantart.com/gallery/33755790#/d4dir83

They even used the image they received on Neopets. (With my permission)

After a month had past without me hearing on their side of the trade, I decided I'd remind them about it--maybe they had forgotten!

They didn't forget, they clearly stated this. They promised it would be finished soon.

Over the six month period, I've been nothing but friendly, reminding them on their uncompleted trade. Mind you, I've only reminded them about four times.

Maybe they misinterpreted sarcasm, and got angry with me, I'm not sure. They seem to be very easy to ignite.

All-in-all, I'm sick of waiting, I don't want their half anymore. Just be warned, and don't do trades with this person. They were incredibly rude and defensive, their friends even joining in to pitifully try and support them.

Any evidence of the rudeness? That part is just as worthy of a beware as the wait is, to me -- if not more.

"Lol I find it funny I have been putting this off for six months.. /amused with self/ I really had no idea it had been that long.. oops."

"It is like you are a horrible kiss ass and a bitch"

"My part would have taken me maybe 30 minutes. And I know that. But I just have not wanted to draw it."

"Run along with your petty insults."

Wow, class act!

Quite frankly, I could care less how people look at me or think of me."

Yikes. Beware well published!

Actually I meant the public rudeness where her friends joined in -- but I mixed together two half-thought out sentences and didn't word it well at all, so I can see why you'd think I missed the link.

Wow. The "maturity" of this person astounds me. Thanks for the warning about them and such!

Looks like it's time to send an invoice, as they don't seem inclined to complete their part of the trade. Frankly, I would edit the description of your half as "[name] still hasn't completed their half of the trade, as of [today's date]." But then, I'm a tad bitchy, like that.
