It is most certainly paid work. You should remove your post. Please remove that post as it is a lie.
All work done will be paid and payment terms are negotiable. I have no idea where you got that from?
I probably didn't reply to you, because your work was poor or I did not feel as if it was what we are looking for in a artist, or it was too expensive for your skill level.
Everyone who I have been responding too, we are all in negotiations now and I'm trying to find the best artist for the best price.
I encourage all other artists to still reply as no permanent agreements where made yet ( although I am getting ready to make a final decision and hire 1 artist )
