In November I got tired of waiting and looked at her Commission Queue to my surprise my name wasn't there for a commission so I contacted her which went well and reasonable. So after a few days (again...) a new journal was posted saying she was taking new art and such. So then of course another journal posted about an art block. Later that week other people art was posted and still my name wasn't added to the queue. So I was fed up with it and filed a refund because I was tired of waiting and being ignored. So of course instead a well way to settle stuff in a mature manner I got a rage note saying "No I'm not refunding you your money its not my problem this was well hard earn money so don't give me the BS''. She made threats to me as well saying she was going to sue me.shown here http://imageshack.us/f/545/incident5.jpg/
Recently she has went MIA from her account with more people money she begged for a tablet and she has left her account without doing people art. shown here http://imageshack.us/f/600/scammerza.jp
She recently returned with pics of tattoos she has gotten along with a journal full of rage against those who were very unhappy with her taking too long and felt she used the commission money she owe to get the tattoos http://imageshack.us/f/268/rudeness.jpg/
This issue has been resolve. She has refunded my money so no need to comment here anymore.

We all go through rough times, nobody has a perfect life. That doesn't excuse her taking people's money and treating them like that.
Buh -_- Beware well warranted.
Beware very well warranted. I'm surprised no-one has spoken out sooner though.
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. Noscript giving me lip.
Holy bezeejus her attitude is awful. She acts like a total child. Beware well deserved, she needs to grow up.

Especially this bit:
Refunds
I will not give refunds. All money goes towards bills and other living expenses that are important to me. Unless you are in a financial emergency, you will not receive a refund from me. If you do have a financial emergency, I will try to refund you by replacing your slot. But there are still no guarantees. So please, DO NOT ask me for refunds, EVER. unless you truly need it I take a while to do my work, longer then other artists but I ALWAYS provide work, ask that for people that have commissioned me in the past.
What bothers me the most is the way the artist is blaming their commissioners for wanting a refund when their art isn't delivered. It is not their hard earned money, it's the commissioner's. What they want to spend it on is their own damn business. I've never seen an artist feel so entitled to a commissioner's money when they aren't doing the work. The artist's financial situation is not their customer's business, let alone their responsibility!
I am glad that the artist seems receptive to change, but this beware is very valid, and I certainly wouldn't commission them for a very long time!
Never touching this artist--not with a 20 foot poll.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this, OP.
