Agreed. She's an amazing artist but I'm sorry Runa, when you take money from people for a service you have a responsibility to give them what they paid for. Runa is one of the biggest reasons I feel so jaded towards Deviantart commission artists. She'll post really sweet and polite journals about how much she values her customers and how hard she works when in reality, she'll leave people waiting for six months to forever for a commission and still take on more orders after that. This is one of the reasons I feel so iffy about the process of artists always asking for money up front- because if they have no work ethic and no sense of responsibility, they have no incentive to complete the order. I understand that artists don't want to take on the risk of the customer being the scumbag too, of course. I think what's really needed is a third party payment service that will take money from the customer but NOT give it to the artist until their work is complete. Paypal's system of buyer protection is better than nothing but requires the buyer opening a claim... and artists like Runa can just wait out the 6 months after an order until Paypal will no longer protect the buyer. Free money, no work or obligations required!

I ordered two commissions from Runa. This was about 2 years ago. I LOVE both of them. I think they were fairly priced, in fact I wouldn't have minded paying more. The first she finished without any issues. The second was more frustrating. I sent reminders, but after almost six months without it being complete, I had no choice but to open a paypal claim. Because I loved her art so much, I even offered to have her refund me the money and send it again if she needed more time just so I wouldn't lose my paypal protection as a buyer, but she told me she had no money to refund me and just completed the commission instead just before the six months were up (Of course, I closed the claim as soon as I received the art). But it was an awful experience and I got the feeling that if I hadn't opened a claim, I might never have gotten my art just like so many other people who opened orders 6+ months before without any results.

I don't think Runa's intentions were to scam people. I get the feeling that she's a nice person and she does produce genuinely good art. So I wouldn't chalk this situation up to malice but instead to a fundamental lack of work ethic (contrary to the journals she puts out saying how hard she works... actions speak so much louder than words with that claim, and it's even more frustrating to read claims like those with firsthand experience of how empty they are). But if you take money from people with the promise of delivering a service and don't deliver, that IS scamming them. You have a responsibility as an artist not to take on more work than you can produce and to deliver what people paid for.

Hello, I know you are trying to warn people about this but exposing, telling everyone about the situation is not what I believe the best thing to do. Destroying or to scar ones reputation can hurt.. a lot.. Sleeping must be hared thinking about her logging onto social media and reads all this hate she gets. True she is very unorganized with her job, but at least give her another chance. Sure she works fast but remember she is only human.  I understand what she is doing is not great but I do not want to side with someone who is ruining another's reputation. In the future, I hope you choose kindness instead of giving off hurtful comments.

My English is not great I'm very sorry if they're grammar, punctuation and spelling errors in this comment.

I wasn't the first person to start this drama. I was talking to a lot of people who commissioned her. Before you start going that its all me how about you check that toyhou.se rant post that was posted by her clients, and talk to some of her clients that are on my discord that are her friends and that say she doesn't care about art, cause she shares everything with them, and how she says she is not gonna refund anyone money in a very very very rude form like 'try refund, you can't until I feel like it!'.
She also lies about her health problems.

There is way more to this. As an artist its disrespectful to your clients to be like this. I have full right, because I do the same thing that she does. Draw for money. I've been a full timer for longer than she is and pointing out her errors and letting her potential clients know about how she really is, is very important, so these people don't get screwed over.

There is way too much proof as well which you can find on her toyhou.se.
Me posting this is only letting other people know how she really is.

I did check it :^) I'm not saying it's all on you I'm just saying I don't like it when others expose and tell everyone about something.
I do understand she's being rude and you're just giving others warnings.
Her art isn't cheap but really? Ruining another's reputation is honestly really discourteous. 
What if she actually have health problems? There is no concrete proof that she doesn't have any.
I don't think they're any "potential clients" because aren't her commissions closed?

Sorry for late reply I am not very active on dA.

Not to mention she promised art to all the people who helped her buy a new screen tablet way back when.

She made a new one, and to be fair she owes so many commissions that are almost a year overdue and she is working on Patreon? 

I don't think she should be supported until she gives out due art.

She should maybe use Patreon as the platform for her to do her commissions on? Like record the timelapses and stuff while drawing the overdue art. 2 birds with 1 stone.
