This past weekend at furry fiesta, Shadowfox ( www.furaffinity.net/user/shadowfox8588 ) commissioned me for an inked 2 character pinup with blacklight coloring on the pawpads and penis. I have written down exactly what he described to me, a receipt for the commission and the sign of what I was offering at this convention. I was NOT offering colored pinups at this con!
He then proceeded to return to my table at least 5 times that day when I told him I'd have it done the next morning because pinups take me longer.
The next morning I had the inked commission done for him. He asked me why it wasn't colored... I told him it wasn't supposed to be colored and he just left my table.
Shadowfox continued to insist that he ordered a colored pinup from me and demanded I take it home and color it. I have it here with be because I could not get a word in edgewise before he just walked away from my table.
I have no idea what to do here. He's now posting shouts on my page asking whether or not I have word on his commission status. Please help, AB.
I'm sure most of you know his history, and frankly I was a little intimidated seeing him in person and actually dealing with his attitude problem.
EDIT:
Things have been worked out. All is good.

If he wants to pay for it, you're free to complete it at your leisure and send it to him.
He can't say or do anything now that you're not face-to-face. <3
This seems like furry drama to me. Furrys tend to say alot of shit about me localy. Also my commission was never mailed to me is my other issue. But i dident bitch about it. just a lost 40$
Also, hold on to that sign and receipt in stuff in case he tries to come over here and pull anything.

Frankly, he shouldn't get any more unless he paid for the color. You shouldn't have gone out of your way to do his commission in the first place and it's really nice that you did, but now you're really not obligated to do anymore. Either scan and email it to him or get his address and mail it, then be done with him. If he continues to harass you, just block him. Maybe notify an admin, though I'm not sure how much they'll do.
He's being really rude about it, but hopefully that's something that can be cleared up.
If he persists, block him. If he persists by going around your block on FA, alert one of the FA administrators.
I can't say I;m personally aware of the dude's rep tho. First time I've heard of him I think.
Don't give him the colored commission though. Scan the receipts and everything that shows that he in fact did NOT get a colored pin-up commission.
Also if you have a price list on your FA showing the price he payed was in fact for just inked that would be even better to show him along with the receipt.
so i assume there is a mix up in terminology based on how this was worded.
i would supply him a copy of his order as you took it down, show it in comparison to the photos of you sign of 'what was offered for commission that con' and offer an apology if there was confusion on the terminology, but for coloring work on the pinup you will need to charge extra.
good luck! i hope this resolves quickly and satisfactorily.
He didn't pay for color? Don't give him color. If he wants to yell at you, let him. He's not hurting anyone's reputation but his own (as a commissioner).
....I suppose he didn't pay you for SHIPPING, since he was supposed to take it with him at the con. You shouldn't be expected to cover that, but since you didn't (to my knowledge) give him the ultimatum of taking what he paid for or leaving it for you to re-sell, he does need to receive that art or his money back.
I'd offer it to him one last time. If he refuses it, get it in writing (or typing.. you get the idea. ) and block him. Make sure you understand that he doesn't want the money or the art. Thank him for the donation. Hopefully he'll read signs better next time. End of story.
I think the only thing you can do is scan the image and give him a copy with the offer of posting out the original if he wants it. I was going to say email him it but then he might start harassing you via email so might be better to use something like Yousendit. At least then you've covered your bases on trying to give him the art he paid for.
Hope things work out!
