Well, that sucks...
Last Wedsnesday, I had someone send me a personal message, asking if I took art trades or commissions. I replied that I don’t like art trades, but I do do commissions, and I’d be happy to give them my rates. (you can find those rates on my DA account, by the way) They asked for the $30 linework, and I was ecstatic! I Thought this would be a great opportunity to get some money in my pocket! So I went to it with great enthusiasm, using their pony creator OC to make something pretty.
When it was all done, I posted it up with a watermark over it, secure in my confidence that I’d get my money.
It’s times like these that I despise my naivete.
