This would be nightmare fuel in any other situation or comic.

Well apart from the drama that i just described to the other user, I stayed quiet and waited months before contacting him again after he said that he might be open to further content between us two. Nearly 6 months later and by then I have decided to push past what happened and move on, once again contacting him to see if he was open for commissions when his pages said so. Not only did he deny me with the same vitreal and venom as before insulting me in a childish manner again, but it was as if old AL here seemed to have never miss a day since. Talk about holding a grudge, and over shitposting commentary at his expense nonetheless.
 
I tried again nearly a year later, only to recieve the same results from this 30’s millennial tumblr swill of a man child who calls himself a so called “professional” artist.
 
Sure, if by proffessional he means him hitting his large following constantly over the head with ko-fi, patreon, and other subscription ads in his posts nonstop so he can attempt to drain whatever amount of money he gets, only to then post some “crisis” in which he must travel to Sweden to see his beloved “wife”. Only it’s not a crisis and he does it rather frequently.
 
Almost as if he is lying about his “crisis” or the status of his issues. All the while continuing to rack up the prices for his overhyped/overrated sketches to nearly $150-200 per page or merely $75 for a single glossy sketch image.

You’d be right to assume such mate. During the time that I had commissioned him I was willing to pay extra which he did charge me for when doing my comics at a faster rate which he did. However it was after the third commission that on Furrafinity that I joked about his ability as an artist based on a mix of info he told me regarding his next availability and his next journal post which gave contrasting information making his words to me seem false in some regards. So I decided to joke about it at his expense, which resulted in his easily getting offended complaining about my commentary. We exchanged a bit and I told the guy not to take my stuff to heart, but he refused to listen, rather deciding to double down not just on his claims as a proffessional artist and such but also as my social/ideological superior, dissing me as some “kid” as he liked to call me.
 
Combine that with the flat out banning of me on all accounts and temporarily access from all the content I already own that was illustrated by him I was able to demand he give the rights of the product to me since I purchased it which he eventually did albeit behind a snarky demeaning attitude.

I mean I get that the new stuff is better, I just don’t understand why he’s so angry at goattrain. Never heard anything about him being egomaniacal before.

Judge by yourself: the original comic runs from >>1835238 (deleted) to >>1835241 (deleted).
 
This one’s longer and has more variety, thus giving the commissioner more value for his money (at least that’s how I understand it).

Would love to know what your beef is with goattrain. Never heard anything like this before.
