I don't like making callouts, and really don't want to be rude to someone who seems to be struggling, but I'm apparently not the only one having this exact issue with this person, and it's been 19 entire months... This is the longest I've ever waited on a commission...
And I've had absolutely no contact with the artist in the meantime, despite my best efforts. I don't want this to absolutely ruin this person, they're a classmate of mine from high school, and a very skilled artist, but I still feel like this needs to be addressed.
I commissioned a two character monochrome sketch from @.ew_the_ewe/@.Sierra_Sheep in April of 2019. I sent payment and haven't heard a word about it from them since. I have the Paypal receipt here, but not the original DMs, as those were lost long ago and I can't recover them.
I have tried contacting them across multiple platforms and received no response since May of 2019. I went to their FA to see if there was any more info there, and it turns out that I'm not the only one having this problem with them.
Their sketch queue used to be in their pinned tweet, but this has since been removed. Digging up the queue, it has not been updated since September of last year.
I should note, their current pinned tweet on their art account is an apology for being silent and slow on commissions, but that tweet was made in March of this year, almost a full year after I commissioned them. It has been over half a year since then.
I would also like to note that they have finished other commissions since mine. I'm not entirely sure if these were commissioned before or after mine.
I really don't know what to do. I don't want a refund, I just want the art I paid for over a year ago. If I get the sketch I commissioned, I'll delete this thread, but... I just don't know what else to do at this point. It's been 19 months...
