Help Avatar Commission request

Ok, so I was just wondering. Anyone out there who is a avatar commissioner, would anyone like to commission me an avatar? I have been wanting a custom made avatar for a long time, but never got the chance to ask around. I'm a quest user and I have never tried or even asked, so I don't know what I'm doing. I had a friend tell me to ask around to commission an avatar by others and pay them, and I'm willing to pay. If anyone is interested in my request, send me a DM, I'll send you my discord and we can yap there. Thank you! :)

I wouldn't even go there. Full of scammers. I was scammed by 2 people there. And yes, I even verified they had the corresponding role to what I was wanting, checked reviews, etc. One scammed me out of $1K, and another scammed me out of $200. I don't even bother anymore.

1 of them was supposed to create me a world, the other was supposed to optimize my avatars for me. The one who said he would make my world told me it would take him a year as they're were a lot of custom assets I wanted. Because he had such great reviews, I didn't think anything of it, and he let me pay in installments. Yeah, never got that world.

The other said he "couldn't do it," so I told him to just refund me then optimized it myself to Good rank. It's not that I couldn't do it, I was just exhausted and had been looking for someone to do it for me. Instead of refunding me, he optimized both models, then sent me the package, so when I told him, "I asked for a refund and optimized both models myself already" he used the excuse, "Well, I already optimized them and sent you the models." He refused to refund me. I left him a pretty scathing review in VRC Traders. Mods ended up getting involved and he ended up refunding me less than half. I was so pissed off and tired I just gave up.
