Hey and welcome on FGE, the currently biggest and probably also most active fighting game related community on dA saw that you wanted to join and you were auto-approved
We have currently 2 art collaborations ongoing there, one about the 20th Anniversary of Tekken and the FGE Project which is basically a growing colelction of fighting game characters by group members who claimed one of the characters.
Our next big art contest starts on the 1st Januar next year and the theme is not yet decided.
If you like to know more about our art collaborations, where and how they are hosted and maybe want to participate in one of them just comment.
I am the founder of FGE, welcome on board!
Β Excellent work there with your Smash of the dames btw, it was approved by me of course!

Seriously, aqua, after reading through her conversation with Janey, it's become evident that she's just NOT right in the head. I mean, she yells at us RI people for bringing her "Maten" persona to her "Kaiten" persona and getting all her friends confused. Oooooooooooooookay.
And LOL at the comment about her works getting "30 000" in the US. Maybe it's her unfamiliarity with US currency that made her forget to put a period behind the 30 and put an extra 0 in the cents.

I think, first off, that both artists should apologize to each other - BlackSignal for 'testing' her commissioner and Aqua for having reacted so violently to the test piece. Aqua's anger may have been justified, but the way he carried himself was not. Aqua did give Kaiten a rather complicated request, so some leeway should have been given when it came to proportions, bells, etc. Posting a rant against Blacksignal on his DeviantART was too much. In my opinion, forty days is not a long wait for a piece commissioned with fake money. Cloud should also apologize for saying Blacksignal ran away from her problems.
I know Kaiten's work, so I understand that what she drew was not worth what Aqua paid. Next, I would offer the deal. Since Kaiten did put 15 hours into her test piece, she should recieve zeny for it. About half should do it. If 25 million zeny is $130, than 12.5 million zeny is $65. Divided by fifteen, this is just under minimum wage. Kaiten should understand that sometimes artists earn under minimum wage in exchange for the convenience of their job. They have their own hours, set their own rates, etc. I myself, earn under half of minimum wage.
So, the option would be that either a) Kaiten refunds half the money and never works on this commission case again, or b) Aqua pays Kaiten all the money in exchange for the actual piece she drew (the one with the eye).
Either way, Kaiten should apologize and no longer test her commissioners - since a contract, verbal, electronic, or signed - is entered by equals, and Aqua should watch his behavior when it comes to an unsatisfying product and deal with the artist rationally.
I have posted this on BlackSignal's DeviantART as well. I have watched her for over two years now. This is just my opinion as an outsider who has experience in both real and fake money commissions. This is merely my opinion and advice. You need not heed it.
