Hello guys! ^^ Yes, this is Sebelrai, but I got a new account because I kind of... lost my password to my sebelrai one.... Anyways, I've been so caught up with the whole fiasco with "Mangax" and helping online communities to deal with them (the entry I made right before this one) that it didn't occur to me to update you all about Shadyah.
I have received my artwork from her.
However:
It is nothing like what she had showed me in the "progress screenshots" she sent, nor is it even finished.
(Sorry for the bad picture, I just hastily took a photo with my cell phone because my scanner is packed away.) Here is what I received in the mail from her. It's a quickly scrawled doodle in black pen and half-coloured with some kind of coloured pencils.

And on the back, there's some kind of pencil doodle.
Uhm.... I am very unsure of how to think about this....

Did you at least get the refund she promised?
Was there any explanation from her at all?
It's kind of clear to me that she's simply trying to cover her ass by being able to say that she did deliver art, even if it's not up to standards or even the right medium.
If she didn't refund you like she said you would, keep pressing her for that refund. Send her a picture of what she sent you as well just in case she really did send you the wrong thing. Because honestly, there is no way someone could see that and think it's acceptable.
If she hasn't refunded you however, you either deserve the full refund or the work originally promised. This looks pretty half-assed and definitely should not be considered adequate compensation.
If she didn't, then...*facepalm*
so she didn't refund you like she promised, and she sends you some not-completed art, even though your commission was for fully colored art...
One of them isn't even a complete sketch, it's just a basic figure. Um.
I know what you should think of this. It's totally unacceptable. It looks like she did all this artwork in 15 minutes or less.
1. She threw a huge hissyfit and harassed you for posting her on A_B
2. She apologized profusely, admitted she'd been bratty and that her behavior was unacceptable, and promised to not only refund you your $15, but send you the artwork she'd done
3. Sends you artwork that looks nothing like what you saw in your progress shots, art that is a) half-colored (better that it not be colored at all, honestly) b) scribbled hastily c) HAS ANOTHER FREAKING SKETCH ON THE BACK
4. ...and still doesn't return the money she promised.
Yeah, I'd say this post needs to be here. This is unacceptable. Please be sure to update your other post with the apology email in it, because if people don't see THIS post, they may think she mended her ways.
To take me thru ALL that and then to send this?! I, personally, would be so insulted! Like she just rubbed her butt on toilet paper and mailed it...like...put this in your pipe and smoke it for all the drama you sent my way.
It's all very disrespectful, unprofessional, and unbelievable! If it weren't for the screencaps I would have almost called your bluff!
tl;dr
She needs to return the money as promised and work on her business practices
