I commissioned an artist on X who showcased a portfolio of custom hand-drawn banners. However, when they delivered my order, they had used STOLEN, COPYRIGHTED artwork of the character instead of creating an original, hand-drawn piece as promised.

When I confronted them and requested a redraw, they ghosted me for an entire week. This behavior is incredibly unprofessional, and I’m extremely disappointed with their service.

Here’s the TLDR Version

UPDATE: I filed a chargeback with PayPal, and they issued me a full refund!
