This is always the slippery argument that comes up far too regularly with artists. It seems every other artist has a "mental disorder" of some sort, and this can conveniently avoiding meeting commissions or delaying releases. Obviously many people have a legitimate issue but the stats suggest the sheer level of people suggesting "depression, ADHD, schizophrenia, etc." who produce art when compared to the normal populous is just way out of wack.
Maybe Zillford does have medical depression, but very unlikely a 24/7/365 issue (it is extremely rare, and those people don't usually live past 25). Even with legit depression, I have enough relatives and friends with it to know it is extremely restrictive but they aren't crippled for years and don't get to leave work while keeping the wage. If Zillford did have a bad bout, they would have come out of it after a number of months and should've finished their paid commissions and slowed requests until they were fulfilled. And obviously if it's event depression or emotional depression (aka lost family member, being dumped) then several years without rectifying the issue is bullshit. As seen, Zillford didn't just fail to meet existing promises, they asked for more money for them, and then proceeded to not produce them even after that.
And to people saying "don't call Zillford a scammer", while it can't be proven that Zillford is faking depression there is no way to prove it other than a published doctor's cert. Since that isn't there, the sheer length of time to correct the issue for a conditions that either should have period of non-depression (medical) or a depression that should've been overcome (event/emotional) does suggest the depression is being used as an excuse. So several failed promises that cost people money on the excuse of a 3+ year depression bout, and people here feel fine saying "don't call him a scammer, you guys are so impatient for your 1,2,3+ year old commissions you paid good money for that Zillford shows no sign of completing even now because of his ludicrous 3 year depression bout.... you guys are such entitled children". Many people can have legit issues, but there comes a point to quote the story "The Artist Who Cried Depression",
