A warning about the artist known as Florida Man
a year ago
General
There is an artist on Pixiv and Pixiv Fanbox that I commissioned named Florida Man. He was excellent for Pokephilia. Quality art for cheap prices, and he seemed like such a chill dude when I talked to him. I was ready to make him my go-to artist for pokephilia NSFW.
The first two commissions went fine. Each time, he was silent for a couple of weeks, but reliably got back to me with the finished commissions.
But for whatever reason, the third commission went downhill.
After a long silence, he sent me an unfinished WIP and he told me that all he needed to do was add the egg and sperm like I requested. I didn't even have to remind him. Which was reassuring.
But then, for no reason that I can see, he went silent and unresponsive for an unusual amount of time. Until he posted the unfinished WIP on his Pixiv Fanbox gallery. No changes from the last time he showed me.
I tried messaging him, asking what gives, but he wouldn't respond. I even sent him an email. A long while after that, I tried to get him to respond today, and he just silently, fucking blocked me!
So to summarize, I paid Florida Man full price for a commission that went unfinished!
So if you like Pokemon NSFW, it may tempting to commission him, but don't. In fact, spread the word about how that asshole could possibly rip people off. Like he did me. His boat deserves to be fucking rocked

Guess we are in the same boat of being scammed :,) Waiting on my refund of 135$ from another artist since 2 months now.

Also checking the art they made for you... I think they aren't even really "drawing" it. It looks more like traced and put together from several pieces, a lot doesn't match up...
For real? I actually heard that he was apparently accused of tracing in the past. Well goddamn. I wish there was a way to expose him for the lying jerkoff that he is.

Yeah I looked over it and it really looks like it. I can redline it to show you.
