Over last weekend I commissioned a fur artist that was doing a bunch of commissions for $10 each. I was to pay after she was done, she would show the image with a watermark, and then remove the watermark after payment. I gave her clear instructions that my fursona has two gray wings, like an angel's wings.
What I got was something with two wings, but it looks like the wings are pointed the same direction. http://imgur.com/M2t5E
I asked her if she could either fix it so there's a wing on the other side, or just erase both wings and forget about them. She wanted $5 to do any altercation to the image.
As a matter of policy I believe that an artist should try to satisfy their customers as best as possible, and minor changes should not be charged extra. Sure the art's cheap, and $5 is not a lot extra (although 50% more than the original asking price), but it's on principle. I'm offended she would want me to pay more for her shitty wing mistake and bad anatomy.
I would concede that $5 more to draw a wing on the other side may be fair. But in that case, I would just prefer she erase the wings entirely. And I don't think she should charge me to erase them. For me it would take 5 minutes max in photoshop.
Mind you I've already asked about this in one other place, and while some agreed the wings looked like s**t, other people said I was being a whiner, some people refused to see the anatomy fail of the wings (HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!), some said I was a horribly cheap person, and one said he should tell everyone in the fandom never to take commissions from me again, which I responded by telling him to ******** off. :/ If I get suspended for that, oh well. That's a piss-a** thing to do.
Ugh... furries and drama, what's new.

Well it's gotten worse and better.
Better in that I talked to the artist and she consulted people and agreed that the wing looked odd, and that she'd fix it for me for free. This was right before I considered just paying her the extra if she'd redraw the wings. And I misread, she only wanted a little extra ($2, maybe) to fix them. Still, I don't think I had to pay for her to fix them and she finally agreed. I'm about to pay her now.
As for the shitstorm, I've been temp-banned from FA's forums and I'm being harassed on FA.
When the artist asked for more money, I went to FA and asked people what I should do. And I was somewhat negative about the artist herself, even though I did attempt to keep her anonymous by saying "an artist" rather than "THIS artist", but it's a bit hard with her watermark.
Now there are people in the fandom harassing me because they think I'm a horrible person, worse than Hitler, for going behind the artists back and saying negative stuff. Even though, like I said, I tried not to use her name. And all I was doing was trying to get advice on what to do.
These people, one of them an admin or mod at FA, have been berating me pretty badly and there's a storm of negative opinion on me over there. One of them posted on her FA journal telling other artists to avoid me because I'm an a*****e. I tried to flag that journal for harassment but FA mods don't seem to want to do anything. Other people are saying they'd put me on Livejournal's Artist Beware as someone to avoid at all costs. So I'm having all these defamatory posts all over about me. :/
And all of this s**t while me and the artist have already worked out the problem and we're both satisfied.
