Scam artist Adam Burton
Hey guys,
I'm writing this to tell you about a scammer named Adam Burton, forum name aburt11. This is his link http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122951
This guy wanted me to model the character in that image so I did using just that one image because he didn't want to draw a usable reference image of that character. Once I got it done he sent me an e-check which takes 3 to 5 days in order for me to get the money. Me being a trustworthy guy sent him the model but the very next day he sent me an email saying that he canceled the e-check and deleted my work because he hired a "professional artist" that said my work isn't game worthy. I tried to get him to tell me who that person was because I wanted to know what I did wrong so that I could get better but he refused to tell me the "professional artists" name. I'm writing this so that no one else gets scammed by this person. Hope this helped

looking at yourworks: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103160 i can suppose that your employer wasn't that wrong.
Hope that i'm wrong and this is just outdated page
He obviously didn't want to pay for it.
If he was unhappy with the model he could have asked for revisions
according to the poster the guy took his model and then withdrew the cheque. if that's the case then I find that pretty unprofessional.
If he was not happy he could have just said so and not bothered with a cheque
yes, maybe i'm too harsh, but this is a two side conflict, and here we are looking just at TS point of view.
There are too small amount of information, how did employer sent e-check, if he didn't even seen what artist have done? No screenshots? Blind deal? Can't believe this happend. But if so... both sides are guilty here.
Lack of information makes me doubt. If you want to judge someone by a single noninformative post, so.. welcome to Stalin's Soviet Russia.
hehe, i mentioned the time, not Stalin himself, if you know history of Russia, you should know that in these times a single anonymous delation on person to a KGB was admit as a fact in most of cases, and people was taken, no matter with or without any real guilt.
PS. it's too much of me in this thread, heh
