ARTIST BEWARE
User @FLWR has a record of:
-Avoiding TOS/playing by his own rules
-Abandoning commissions/projects
-Complaining about paying
-Null clarity on comm requests/excessive changes
-Playing victim and running away from the problem instead of resolving it
A document explaining the case and owed money:

OWING 498.10 USD
Just be careful out there, guys...
Always defend yourself and don't work for free
Your time and experience has a value
EDIT: Even so I have some PayPal receipts with personal info about him, I won't do anything with that info unless Paypal talks to me... Paypal's customer service agent told me over the phone that there's a SLIGHT possibility to step in and make him pay, but they'll come back to me with news about that tomorrow, or Monday...
EDIT 2: If you have Twitter or Facebook, please spread the info about this person, aside from spreading my case, you'll spreading info about him to stop artists to fall into his game

Edit 3: Banning people from this platform is in NG mods and/or Tom Fulp's hands...
But I dunno if I should tell them to step in... I'm kinda nervous...
I once did an artist beware about someone else in NG and reported it to a mod, and well- the account of that person is still up...
(I have sent Tom Fulp a message! I talked with a close friend about maybe telling mods and such about this problem, and they say I should tell them to prevent DFC to scam more people)
Edit 4: There are also the concern of "maybe he didn't had money"
Let's never forget, he once sent me this screenshot, FLEXING on his money, so there's NO excuse
Edit 5: (copy-paste from a comment down below)
People have asked me "then why you kept working???"
This is not the first time I have experienced this behaviour... I have another client, owner of a drag queen supplies store, that does basically the same as DFC... the difference between them two is that the drag queen pays me the changes, gives me big tips, accepts responsibility when he does wrong or touches my limits and apologies for making me do too much work
I get happy when the drag queen comes to me for comms...
I don't get happy when DFC arrives...

500$ at almost , holy shit why didn’t you report it to the authorities as shit. That’s like fraud.

Sadly, I can't do anything too extreme, I'm not from the US
I have some public data from him since he has paid me twice on Paypal
Paypal info includes phone number, address, email...
But again- I can't do too much
