Description
This image was intended as a commission to [link] who requested a painting based on her "original character" [link] (which later turned out stolen, see below).I spent hours on the *&&^& costume (I don't even *like* purple!) but the the person in question kept making requests for additions and deletions. She then failed to respond when payment came in sight... So I started getting suspicious and did some research. Now I've found out that this person is a scammer. For a detailed modus operandi (my case is virtually identical), see
[link] ?
and for another case:
[link]
So, beware of this scam...
Well, after all this work at least I don't have to give this work away to the fake commissioner. You can all have it in full resolution instead. I guess this is part of the scam, as she gets to download the image as well and for free, but whatever.
To warn as many people as possible, you might want to fave this piece
EDIT: still another case: [link]

You should make a post about the scammer on the Artists Beware livejournal so people know not to deal with this crook.

That is an unfortunate story. I can understand that you are upset.. But then to the picture... after having seen quite many of these I can honestly say that this is one of the most beautiful images around! She's has a fabulous face, figure and attitude. I hope we would see more of her, and perhaps a version with human ears too!

Beautiful work! I don't like the purple tones... but the rest is wonderful! How much was the finished work supposed to sell for?
... that costume is wonderful to behold, but I'm sure it was a pain to paint!

That would have gone for $40. I don't like the purple either ;0(

Wow, I'd have thought it'd be at least $100, but probably more!
... with prices like those, even I could afford it!
