IMPORTANT NOTE.
It is NOT ok to harass or leave cruel messages on the pages of the commissioner and/or artist. Harassing those posted will not be tolerated.
This is also not slander as the claims can be proven true with evidence, which we require by default.
These are reviews based on personal experiences.
Who: Skyline19
What: Commission purchased on 12/25/13.
Proof:imgur.com/a/8IQFz
User has yet to finish commission as well as other's but continuously opens more slots.
Also hides any and all comments that pertain to others asking about commissions statuses. Has forgotten at one point who commissioned what. Blocks waiting customers.

Another user has also purchased from Skyline on 5/15/13 and has yet to see any sign of a completed product.

-Personally, I have only a small amount of sympathy for . Originally, I did feel a bit bad for them as life isn't really giving them a break buuut then said user posted photos of "proof" of them living in a hotel.
Said "proof" managed to capture the tv screen, which was currently displaying the PlayStation Home Screen and a red PlayStation controller. And PlayStation 2's most certainly don't have that screen, only PS3s.
Second thing I noticed is the picture of a desktop w/ monitor and, comparing that to the camera data on the side, would mean Skyline has both a laptop and a tablet. Now if that wasn't the kicker enough, if you combine the picture that has his desktop in it with the one that has the ps3 controller, you'll see what I believe is either a monitor or a flat screen tv. Which would mean..
Skyline has a Samsung tablet, a computer, a PS3, and a flat screen tv.
You might want to consider where certain things are next time you take a picture.... :>Mod Chaos
Edit: There's a user on another (nsfw) site that ordered from them back in Jan 2014 and still hadn't seen any result of what they paid for.Gotta reemphasize, people. If you haven't contacted paypal, please do. Don't email them, call them. Even if you can't get a refund, at least make it so that they can't take any donations/commission money for that account. If anything, it's likely that the first paypal account of his was shut down.

Quick Update
Short idea/update
1)I'm not on my computer or dA extremely often. I'm usually on mobile and I have yet to figure out how to check group galleries/journals on my device. Eventually I'll figure it out.
2)I'm going to try and compile a list/cross list of bewares and post a SINGLE journal that would be updated every other week. Can't make promises or give a possible date b/c, well depressions a butt and it's quite a list to go through..even more so since I want to do alphabetically and I am one person.
Anyways a few links to new (old) post on AB lj specifically on dA. Again, don't harass the users. Just decide if you want to block, avoid contact
More links Possibilities
Do NOT harass/spam/bug/annoy any problematic clients/artists if they are listed. Just quietly block, shake your head and move on.

I've considered "closing" this group down and moving it to a different group, one where I'd be able to get some help and make it a bit more "official"..perhaps even to the point it actually becomes an affiliate of the Artist Beware community on LiveJournal.
One of the main things I've considered for the new group is it being a bit more than just a place to warn others. A place for those that off
Signal Boost
Main journal can be found here, along with a list of clients.

A few things I would like to address from the original note though.
1) He always ask you a full payment before getting a sketch
This isn't an uncommon practice. However, if one isn't 75% sure or more they will get it done in a timely manner, they should take payment after the sketch or when it's done.
In the latter's case, the artist would send a low-res downsized watermarked file for preview and confirmation. Once the client gives the okay, they can then have them send payment before delivering the high res full image and any variations of it.

Commissions 101
Unfortunately, there seems to be a rise in questionable business ethnics, bad practices, and a general lack of forethought..
Which leads to interactions that tend to go very wrong real quick.
So here are some things to consider when you commission someone or offer commissions.
Right off the bat, since this one is something a lot of people do. This one needs to be emphasized which is why bold and caps...
DO NOT HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY THE PAYPAL FEE.
DO NOT HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY THE PAYPAL FEE
DO NOT HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY THE PAYPAL FEE
To add onto that, do not have them send it as a "gift".
Do not add whatever the paypal fee cost/do no
