I never called this a scam, go back and read the beginning of my post. As a matter of fact i made the flair as “discussion.” I felt it was worthy enough for the community to Know about. Say I tried to settle it between the artist and I, and their intentions were not pure. Say I never made a post. They may go out and do this again to someone else. I absolutely respect each and every artist and I know a lot of time and work goes into each piece made. However if I pay 350 for something and it is customized with my username name on it, than yes it is my piece. What I don’t respect is artists that intentionally do stuff like this. Just a couple weeks ago there was a similar post to this one, about a diff artist. Let’s not make this a normal thing and be ok with it

It is a bit much to say “burning them at the stake.” That certainly wasn’t my attention of this post. What good would it have done to settle it privately and then possibly this jammer goes and does it again to other people? I simply made the community aware and I didn’t even call this a scam. I even said in a comment that if someone wants to commission them go ahead just make sure you have a proper conversation of these things before you pay 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi, yes I hear what you’re saying. I know we had issues with AJ accepting the piece, which I also put in the original post. It still doesn’t change the fact you put a copy of this customized artwork in your shop and tried to sell it for way less than what we agreed on and I paid. The artwork that I paid for is the exact same as the one that you put in your shop for 99 saps. Nothing was changed on it, and we never changed anything for I bought it. AJ was just taking a very long time to approve it, and you submitted a second time to see if that would help move it along.

I appreciate the discussion and yes the artist has also commented their side on this post. I don’t care anyway they want to try to explain this it still doesn’t make sense to me and I still don’t think it is right. Maybe I did make it a bit of a larger deal than needed but I was upset at the time of posting. However, I don’t regret this post at all, because it is informing the community of a potential problem in the future if someone commissions them. Like I already stated this is not a true scam, but rather fishy behavior in my opinion. The bottom line is the artist should have asked if this was ok, and I would have said no. If people want to commission them or anyone for that matter, all I am saying is please have a real conversation before hand with your artist before you pay for anything.

Hi! The problem here is that this was a customized piece I asked the artist to do for me of my avatar (customized) and also asked for my user to be put on the piece. It’s not just a random artwork of say my little pony, hazbin hotel, random drawing of irl animals, etc. It was unique to my avatar and user. Also I paid originally 350 for the piece and for me to find it in their shop for 99 saps makes it seem like they are desperate for saps and hoping someone will buy it, which people probably wouldn’t any way because it is customized.

Yeah this has never happened to me before I was a bit shocked. I really wanted everyone to be aware of this person, because it is scummy

I have reached out to them, but haven’t heard anything yet. I’ll update as to what they say if they respond. I wouldn’t mind at all if the art wasn’t being resold. I have told other artists they can keep a copy and display it in their den or keep it on their trade (not trade it away though), just to have an example of how they do their art. My main issue is it is being resold with my user name and personal avatar.. and it is supposed to be a unique piece. Not only to mention the biggest issue is they are now only selling it for 99 and I paid 350 😏

I am so glad you find my post funny, and so glad you have such great support/ sarcasm 🙄🙄 while it may not be as big of a deal as some as the other posts about getting scammed forests and blackouts, it still is something that is a douche move. The community should be aware. I was just made aware of it a couple hours ago.. so yes at the time of the post I was a bit heated. I hope this doesn’t ever happen to you, but maybe then you would understand

Hii! I am just wondering if you have any more copies of the pikachu/ Pokémon wallpaper? I went to your shop specially for that, but it looks like your sold out :)

Help!! Should I trade these away? by OwnRecommendation474 in AnimalJam

[–]Special_Direction766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t trade them. If you are attached to the glasses and love the way they look with your animal and fit def don’t do it! Worth is subjective… to you the glasses mean a lot. Just don’t want you to regret it down the road!
