first ever skeb commision went horrible
i've been using vgen for a bit and decided to try out skeb. i submitted a request for an artist who's work i adore, and it got approved the next day. ten days later i get the notification that it was finished. i open the art, and it literally looks like a work in progress.
there's random different bright red and orange colored lines around the face and nose area that clash against the white skin and aren't present on any other of their works. the artist always includes a signature and at least a graident/small sqaure of color for a background, but neither of those are present on my commision. there is no rendering done on mine while every single other drawing on their account has extremely beautiful and detailed rendering. mine looks like a sketch lazily done while the rest are beautiful pieces. there was also still two weeks left on the deadline, so timing wasn't an issue either.
the worst part? i paid 1.5x the recommended amount because i wanted to show support for their work, and hopefully get a better piece. i instead got easily the worst thing they've drawn on their account and it feels like i've just been scammed. i'm hoping it's an accidental upload of a work in progress, but the chances of that are low and i know im just coping at this point.
how often does stuff like this happen to you all? because this experience has really turned me off of using the platform in the future, even though i've found so many other artists who i want to commision, i'm scared this will happen again.
