Out of a couple of hundred commission pieces done to date, only one has been refused by the customer (so far!). Here's the piece that was declined and not paid for:

And here's something I was lead to in said customer's gallery online.

Thoughts?

Couple things:

I coulda sworn there was a She-Hulk commission that some guy went public in his forum about refusing, going on and on about how much he hated it. Am I misremembering?

Second thing:

Who did the "corrections" and removed your signature?! Bizarre.

Something about the nega-bands being missing -- tho (as with Christos'
Avengers vs Thanos) I had specified that I would prefer to draw the
Adams vintage Mar-Vell.

You are not! As I typed "one" I was thinking "isn't it 2? 2 out of 200?"

These are not "corrections". This is a swipe.

If you were a graphic designer designing, say, a brochure or a website and
you did all the work and then the client declined it and you checked them
out and their "new" site was pretty much an exact duplicate of what you did
that they didn't want, you can go after them.

That's blatantly ripping you off.

What's that signature line on the left of the dupe say?

To me, that's a lack of respect for someone's work...

Strange. I can see no reason why I wouldn't like that piece (if I had requested Shazam). There's some undecypherable writing on the left border. What is it ? Did the guy "photoshop" the scan ? And what happened to the original art ?

Jim Warden still has it, I think. Not sure.

Are you going to get the person to delete that sample from his collection ?

i make the boarder out as "Mac after Byrne 2007"

so much of a swipe it's pratically an interperative inking job -- no idea who Mac is but i wonder if he knows that the original was an unpaid for commision.
