artist + creator credits!

thank you so much to everyone who has created my art, my coding, etc.! i'm eternally grateful to these very talented people, and it's an honor to have their work in my hands. <3

If you know where the model is from, good! Otherwise, I don't feel comfortable crediting this artist.To credit an artist is to uplift them, promote them, and endorse them, which I don't want to do. I love the art, I use the model, however, in short, they prolonged the process of producing the art almost 9 months with no updates but a sketch from months earlier, and were unable to give me a refund 8 months in; All while spending the money on various things and having a redebut of their own (They were actively posting about it). The model art was fully completed in 10 months, and my rigger had to remove parts that they had incorrectly layered.I am very considerate of an artist's time, and their personal life, but I believe it is unexcusable to not give an explanation, use the money with no product to deliver, be confused as to why I am upset, and tell me I should have waited longer.
