He's kind of like a hot girl with severe emotional problems.

You know you want to, but if you do you also know there's hell to pay.

So hire at your own risk.

I personally don't have a problem working with procrastinators, but I realize other people here aren't as forgiving as I am when it comes to laziness.
If all the world's problems were solved today, what would you have left to do tomorrow?

I think if your going to buy from him, he needs to provide some work 1st.

Do alittle get alittle money....and so on until the project is complete, and maybe a direct contact number/address...

Yes, we are back on this subject again.

I am now at the end of my patience on this matter.  It would not be a big deal, but this involves money that I paid (and I"m sure has already been spent) and nothing has been produced.  Therefore I am sending the following message to Mr. Finfrock:

Ok man,

This is about the $30 I agreed to pay you as down payment for the portait of my MxO character, Phienyx, which I requested and you agreed to produce.  If you have forgotten, I submitted $30 on March 24, 2007.  Check your paypal history on that date if you have forgotten.

I think I've been plenty patient in regard to this matter but I think this lack of professional and even decent behavior in regard to the above mentioned subject has gone into the realm of ridiculous.  So, I am asking you to do one of two things.  Either produce the requested and promised work, or refund my $30 immediately.

Thank you.

-Phienyx
Furious Angels


You all may or may not find this to be a bit strongly worded, but be assured this is very toned down compared to what I'd actully say to him if I had the chance to address him directly face to face.  This is unacceptable in any circle.

 If you have contact with Mr. Finfrock, I suggest you tell him to check his email and PMs.

Yeah... I paid him $15, because he said he would do a drawing to whoever gave him money to renew his MxO account. :(

I kinda gave up.

Well, I'm starting to wonder if this whole thing is a low level scam.  I'm quite sure that if enough of us got together who have had this problem with him, that some legal action could be taken, though it probably wouldn't be worth the cost.  I hope common decency kicks in for him at some point and he gets his ass in gear and decides if he is going to be a man and either refund the monies or produce the work.  Either or would be satisfactory with me.

if in england there would be no question of breach of contract and might also be theft too. Given you lot realised that our legal system is perfect and copied it I can not see why not there too.

the only problem you are likely to have is within what timeframe would he produce the commissioned works? if in england and silence as to time frame then a "reasonable" time is given.

You are right though; not worth the cost and the hassle.

How much does a civil court case cost if you're the one suing?

Sound off, how many people had something in progress that they already paid for?  So far, we have:

Phieynix
Tecknik
Dagonet

I called him a few minutes ago, and he claims that he's going to try and refund folks.

Were any of you able to get him at the apartment number I posted?

I have no excuse for why I have talken so long to do some commissions. What I've done is unprofessional, and just plain rediculious.

I currently plan on refunding anyone who wants me to do so as soon as I can afford to. If anything, I will be doing that by the end of the month (or at least trying).

You can email me at splashed_ink@yahoo.com for anything further.
