The unreliability of artists on deviantART has made art trades a real drag.
There have been so many instances where I've participated in an art trade with users I thought I knew well. I'm usually always done with my half of the art trade in less than 2 weeks. But your half is taking over 6 months? Seriously?
I don't even want to remind them about it anymore because I realize how pointless the exercise is.
Art trades are supposed to be fun... and yet somehow it's just become a stressful pain in the arse.
