just watched your youtube video bout digital painting line art. Wondering if you would give me some pointers on my work.
I'm a long time artist who took a 5 year break. Just getting back into it... never learned how to paint digitally and so i'm just watching a lot of tutorials.

I haven't played yet myself, but I found it very interesting, your art being one of the parts that drew me in to it.

Checking up on the status of my commission from NOVEMBER 2009.
2009, dude.
You couldn't send me an update? Something?

It saddens me to say that you will probably never get what you paid for. This guy has no respect for the people who paid him. If I were you I'd see what your options are legally.

Some News from Alex.
After my commission 4 years ago I asked him what happens and that he better give me back my money or draw my pic.
Here his answer:
"would you like to visit me personally? You are more than welcome to invade my home and beat me bloody if it makes you feel better. How about this... I have not fulfilled my end of the exchange and there is no reason to believe that I ever will because some silly fellow on deviantart is far below my list of priorities. In the past 3 years while I wasn't drawing your thing I was dumped by my fiance, moved back in with my mother, moved to San Francisco and developed a heroin addiction, went to rehab. Lost several friends and all of my self respect in the process. The money you spent on your sketch probably went to alcohol and cigarettes long ago. I may never get around to you but if I don't I hope you take some comfort in knowing that my career as an artist is dead in the water and I despise my life with a passion."
No more comment.

hiarious, thats why you stay off the dope lol

Wow. A straight-up ADMISSION that he took your money and has no intention of either delivering what he owes you or refunding you.
Real classy. This sort of flippant attitude toward a rightfully angry customer is exactly why Alex has absolutely ZERO sympathy from me.

Thanks, dude.
Hope a lot of people read this.
I will do like he invite me. I go to SF and punch the shit out of him infront of his mom.
Unbelievable: He could do a fast sketch and I would be happy β¦ Stupid!

Well, hey, don't do that. That's assault and it's not worth it even when he owes you money. He's definitely not worth jail time.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey, definitely not.
I pay 700,- Euros to visit friends in SF, not to visit a formaly super talented thief.

Prove me wrong. Do the right thing. Start communicating with your customers, and either get them refunds or start drawing their stuff.
You aren't doing yourself any favors by ignoring all the people who just want what they paid for.
And hiding this comment won't make me any less right.

Alex it has been several years now that you have owed me and several other people commissions. I thought we were buds but you keep flaking and disappearing and not following through. We all gave you money and would like either refunds our our pieces. Please get in touch with us.

You will never hear from him again.
You'll also never get your art, and you'll never get a refund.
The best we can do is warn others not to give him their money.

Hey Alex, would it be possible to get a refund on the commissions I made years ago and never received?
π: 0 β©: 2
me too please... at this point I just don't see this ever happening.

Heya, I sent you a note a few days ago, hope everything is going okay. Thanks!

did you ever get to that Janine from Ghostbusters sketch I commissioned you for some time ago? Just curious as I know you went through stuff.
π: 0 β©: 1
seems like I did that like... a year ago. I can't find it in my files though so I guess its time to draw a new one. I am sorry about that. I used to drink and do drugs daily so I cant remember much. Its an awful thing to do to my customers and I am truly sorry.

Would u ever consider doing a Copic/Prismacolor tutorial based on how you put down your colors, and stuff like that which is NON-ANIME? I think it would be awesome, and high time if someone with your skill and calibur could apply what you do to their work without the anime method that seems to only apply to that particular style. PLS consider my man. If u do a search here on Copic tutorial, you will see what I mean. Your work continues to astound me man. Keep it up!

Hi I ordered a commission from you a few years ago from my ~Dahdtoudi account and I don't mind the wait of course; your art is amazing and I understand time consuming
