Hey, what's up Doc?
It is best to walk away. After nine years your quest for the image is more Quixotic than practical; and as much as I adore tilting windmills; there is a time
to say 'This is a little like waiting for Duke Nuke'Em Forever' and move on.
Yes; there is a principle involved and $20.00 - four times as much as Ren and Stimpy regularly debase themselves for in best animated rent-boy fashion; but you
have three sketches in hand; which, while they do not meet the original contract criteria; are material.
Art, especially commercial art, is more about the perspiration than the inspiration (though the second is required, sometimes you just have to push on on
perspiration alone); something I was thinking about while forgoing sleep to work on a comic that I promised to someone. You accept the money (or exchange of
services); you provide the product. If a vendor consistently fails to meet an obligation, you find a more responsive, responsible, vendor; and if the figure
is dear enough, seek compensation; or at the very least apology.
Cheers,
Shayne
