Most of my OC commissions went great! Except for one. I commissioned them because I saw that they were highly active on FR, literally just finished a batch of commissions and I felt safe to commission them. 6 months ago I commissioned them and despite my gentle pokes i havent gotten more than a WIP sketch. I did tell them to take their time and even gave them a tip on top of that since I forsaw my commission was going to come out banging given their history with other customers. I poked them multiple times since then every couple of months but they don't answer any of my mail anymore. They are still active on FR with fed dragons and forum posts.

So, it's always a gamble unfortunately. I liked to think I was pretty savvy when it came to buying art and seeing the red flags but you never know when an artist might be suddenly become rogue lmao
