There is an artist on Tumblr, FurAffinity, and DeviantArt that goes by the name of CyanBirdDog or HinaUchi that has bluntly ripped off and scammed someone with a fursuit commission, as well as a few other digital commissions.
Do NOT commission/buy ANYTHING from her that must be shipped. I wouldn’t even purchase digital art commissions from her- she’s know to take a very long time on them, or rush on them and do a very sloppy coloring/lineart job.
She even has an artists-beware page it has gotten so bad.

This is fucking ridiculous.
Back to the fursuit- Samm has utterly refused to give a refund to the girl who purchased the fursuit from her two years ago.
It has NOT been shipped. The girl has NOT recieved her fursuit, OR a refund. Samm has not contacted her since February of this year.
Samm had actually stated she will not give a refund, seeing as the suit is completed and ready to be shipped. So this girl does not get her money back.
The girl made a video which basically backs up all I’ve said. It has been two years. Two. Years. The problem is that she doesn’t want the suit anymore, so she has been cheated out of over $500 dollars and a fursuit.

Another reason to not purchase a commission from Samm is because she was recently in trouble for tracing/referencing another artists work and selling it on an FurAffinity on an auction for over $200.
Here’s the artist she stole from’s post about that:

There have also been people claiming they’ve received half-assed commissions from her after she’s taken a very long time to complete them (months). She’s basically rushed through them and the customers have been quite unsatisfied. She has also drawn commissions and not posted them publicly, because she believes they aren’t attractive enough to put online. It’s quite discouraging that the artist will not post the commission because they dislike it that much, yet they’re willing to present it to you as a finished piece.
She’s made numerous excuses why she can’t ship it, ranging from her moving, her mother not taking her to the post office, not having the supplies, and many more.
Another excuse she makes for not providing refunds when asked is that she’s spent the money afterwards and does not have their money any longer. She spends the commission money before she gives the customer what they purchased, so if they want a refund, they’ll have to wait months for it (or not receive it at all)
She also has an ED, although I’m not sure if this would help anyone out with the situation.
DO NOT PURCHASE ANY FURSUIT PIECES FROM HER, AND BE CAUTIOUS OF THE DIGITAL ART YOU COMMISSION HER FOR.
She’s also attempting to sell this fursuit over DA:

Do not buy it from her.
She also does taxidermy, but I have not heard anything about those exact pieces. I’m not sure they’ve been sold yet.
goddamn that’s so terrible.
Rather offensive she reuses poses, glad to know she does this rather than being original with her stuff instead of...
Glad to know she reuses the same pose again and again even on things people pay her for. *stares at her commission of...
Oh look
Trying to sell a commission? Woooooow I can’t even
Another thief I see
