WHAT: Digital art piece — x1 custom adopt worth 200 USD.

WHEN: October 2017 — present (May 2018)

EXPLAIN: I ordered a custom character commission from ToasterKiwi's auction back in October 2017. I didn't receive a WIP until December 2017 and no further visual updates since then. Meanwhile, the artist has output tons of artwork and merchandise for conventions and shop orders and is plenty active on Twitter throughout this duration, yet has no progress update for me about the order. The last communication I had was in March 2018 where she claims to still be working on the order, but provides zero visual updates.

I am Tythius on DeviantArt. (I have a Gyazo Pro account so all screenshots saved there are permanent.)

General timeline of notes from the artist, sorted in the DA search function which removes any indicator of read or unread status. (Proof 0.)

TIMELINE:

18 October 2017: Purchased a custom adopt commission from an auction for 200 USD. Paid, artist confirms commission, and details are exchanged. (Proof 1. Proof 2. Proof 3. Proof 4. Proof 5. Proof 6.)

No further communication from artist until December 2017.
