Notes
Don't buy art from this girl
A few months ago, my Shido ordered some art from this shop. The samples shown in there really seemed they had a good quality and a different style from what I've seen before. Two months later, we received this instead. Not only is poorly done in my opinion and way too different from her samples not to mention she messed up with my hair, but it's not what we ordered, she got confused with our order and gave us other style. And now she wants us to pay 90k for that pic, when obviously is not even worth 20k.

Shido says that let's just pay the 90k to that girl to avoid confrontation, but I'm not going to let her to rip us off. NO WAY! I agree to pay her, but what I consider is the real value of this, despite she says it took her "time and effort". I don't really see where's the time and effort she's really talking about. It's true it took her over 2 months, maybe more, to deliver that piece, but I'm pretty sure she didn't spend more than one hour on that 'cause of its poor quality, and much less I can't see any effort in there due its lack of complexity.

I just felt like letting you all know in case you run into this shop, so you don't get rip off, and if you have an order pending, just cancel it, unless you want to risk yourself with her.

Edit: Well, I've finally come to an agreement with her, so everything's been worked out. I paid 30k to her, an ammount I consider fair and she ended up accepting it. It's just when I get mad...oh gawd...just FEAR ME!!!!!!!!! xd

Do not pay that girl 90k. You shouldn't have to pay for her errors and the fact she posted misleading samples. I often find myself in similar situations but I always act like a coward (because I'm afraid of hurting others feelings) and say it's great and pay the whole price anyways. It makes me feel so used and pathetic afterwards though. Please don't put yourself in that position if you can help it.

And on a side note, I once ordered from that exact same shop, but not too long after started to get a weird feeling about the art and cancelled. Hearing your story now has cleared my mind of any regrets I may have once had. Thank you. heart

Thank you for your comment Lull heart .

I just got a PM from her saying how pissed she is about the whole thing and that I shouldn't bother to send the trade, that she doesn't run the store and that she has 16 people on waiting list and she's been under a lot of strees, that she did put a lot of effort on to it and blah blah. So, I say, it's ok, you have a life and all that, me too. But that doesn't change the fact that she's way too overpriced. I just want a fair price that's all. If she doesn't want to take my offer (I told her I'll pay 30k for that), it's up to her, but don't say I don't want to pay for her work.

I'm still waiting for my art from her and I really wish I could cancel the trades now as the sample she showed me looks nothing like what I asked for. Oi. I'm getting really tired of just smiling and saying things look great. xp

there goes 30k. ><;;;

Ooo I see she's having problems with everybody.

Well, you should really tell her you're not pleased with the result so far. I just were clear with her and she got angry at first, but she understood. She's not really a bad girl, but I think she has some serious issues with the samples she's showing in there and the product we're receiving.
