Oh good, I’ve had people like that who leave me a positive right away after winning an auction and I thought that’s what happened.
Well, I’m sure there will be a negative there soon then. I don’t care if she’s the bast painted out there, you can’t duplicate a color scheme to the exact last brush stroke. It may look similar, but even so why doesn’t she use her own picture if she’s so good. I don’t understand it unless they are doing something sneaky.
Got a busted Windstone?

My bad. I was looking at her feedback received and saw the sellers name. Well, that makes me feel alot better!

She said she hadn’t gotten the wolf yet and when she does she’ll compare the two because she was under the impression that THAT was the wolf she was going to be getting. She was familiar with my work but not my name, and she jumped at the chance to own this one. I gave her my Windstone gallery link. We’ll see what happens if and when she gets said wolf.
It doesn’t sound very good, I hope she gets a wolf, but it sounds suspiciously like she won’t.

I can’t imagine why a seller with good feedback would do something like that? Unless they paint well enough that they are confident buyers will not notice that the wolves they are getting are not identical to the ones pictured in the auction.. But in that case, why steal pictures at all, if you are good enough that you can paint something identical??

60 bucks it looks like

I have news. I was again contacted by the person who won the auction the first time around, and she says (and I hope she doesn’t mind me reposting this but I think everyone here ought to know what’s going on with this seller):
“I received the wolf in the mail today. It is a windstone piece and it looks like she did try to copy your color scheme – but did a VERY POOR job. I have never painted in my life and this is what I’d expect one of my wolves to look like if I’d had attempted it 🙂 It looks like she had painted the whole thing brown and then tried to repaint over it to look like yours, but the lines are so crudley painted that some spots she missed and you can see the brown underneath. The part of the wing where the interferance paint would be is a light blue metallic type – but it was either put on so thickly or repainted so many times that you can barely tell there are feathers underneath. And to top it all off, this wolf has brown eyes, not the yellow ones that are in your photo!
“At any rate, I have sent her an email thru ebay notifying her that the wolf that she had sent me is clearly not the wolf pictured in her auction and that I am unhappy with the paint job on the one I received. I’ve asked her to refund my money thru paypal and I would ship the wolf back to her. I’m trying to not be too confrontational to her as I’m hoping that she’ll just agree to a refund and call it a day. However if she doesn’t refund my money I’ll file a formal dispute thru Paypal.”
I feel bad about the whole thing myself, even though this isn’t really my fault. I hope that seller doesn’t try this again with someone else’s artwork and hopefully she will be wary. I’m also hoping the buyer will join the Windstone forum.

That is too bad for the buyer. But I guess at least she got something for her money. I hope it works out for her.I kinda feel like she got a royal screwjob. I am going to offer to paint her a wolf I think, for the same price she paid if she gets the refund, which I will be backing up her claim on.

That would be nice of you. Are you still taking commisions on PYOs?
Occassionally I do, depending on which critter it is (I won’t do a griffin right now). At the moment I am really pushing it to work on the werewolf book project I’ve got but I am always open to taking a commission if you don’t mind it taking a month or something for me to get on since I’m kinda working commissions in spurts.
