Nearly a month after Anthrocon goes by and I asked if she had done anything with my wings. Let it be noted that she constantly was asking for more commissions as each month went by, while my wings remained untouched. In other words, it wasn’t a priority to her. She goes on to say that she has a bunch of commissions in progress, that she was booked until Christmas, and that she’d fit my wing commission “in there, somewhere”. When I get there, she tells me that they aren’t done. So, Anthrocon arrives and I eagerly wait to finally pick up my wings at Poprock’s booth. She dodged the question by saying they’d be done by Anthrocon. Even as the days drew closer to Anthrocon, I still asked if any progress had been made on the wings. (I fell for her guilt trip)Įventually, she told me that the new deadline would be at Anthrocon 2011. Being a nice guy, I told her that I was willing to wait for the wings instead.

Also, to state, there were multiple times when she was guilt tripping me by explaining why the wings were taking so long, and she even offered me a full refund in May because she was feeling really upset about some stuff. As April came to a close, I asked if she was almost done, and Poprock told me that only one wing was done, but I would have to wait a bit longer. At first she tells me that she’ll have them done by the end of the month. It’s around April 2011 this time, and I ask her if she could give me a deadline on when the wings might be finished. I was remaining patient as possible with her because I knew that if I said the wrong thing, she’d probably get mad at me and take even longer on making them. ($40) Of course I was hoping that some progress was made on my wings by now.she tells me that barely anything had been done. Yet again, she asks for money for another thing (which I don’t know what it was) so I gladly obliged and paid her the remainder of the money on my wings. To my disappointment, another month passes and zero progress has been made. ($35) I was hoping that by paying her a little more to what I owed, that it would motivate her to work on my wings. Out of generosity, I gave her that money and we both agreed that it would be put towards paying off my wings. When the next month passes, she asks on Facebook for some money so that she could buy something. She again says that no progress has been made. I started asking less often because I wanted to give her some space and not put any pressure on her.Ī month passes and I ask about the progress of my wings. Poprock told me, whenever I asked, that no progress had been made on them since the livestream video. At first I was asking once a week because I was really excited having this commission done. Periodically, I would check in to see if any progress was made on the wings. They looked pretty rough so I hoped that they’d look better over time, and in all honesty I was just happy that I was getting the commission made. In a couple of days she sent me a picture of the progress of the wings. ($50) In about 2 weeks she began working on the wings and had a livestream video of her working on the wings. So, from there I sent her a duct tape dummy of my arm, and an envelope containing the down payment for my wings. Afterwards, I asked Poprock how long it would take to make them, and she said that it would only take a couple of months to do.

When I asked for a price quote, she said that it would cost me $125, which I thought was a reasonable price. I was talking with her on Second Life about the commission I had in mind, and even modeling it after a different builders design.

Poprock was saying, at the time, that she was really desperate for commissions, so I thought I could help her out by hiring her. I was having a different builder make a head for me, so I thought it’d be a good idea to make a collaboration of multiple builders for a partial suit. WHO: Jessica Hope (On Facebook)/PoprockGrey (on FA)ĮXPLAIN: Ok, so what had happened here was I commissioned Poprock back in December for some crow wings. (**DISCLAIMER** Before you go on trying to defend this person, let me just say that this is my personal experience with her.)
