i feel like i've either hit a new level of laziness or exhaustion. or both. but for about a month? now, all i do when i get home from work, is go lie in bed. i used to play genshin on the daily, atleast trying to get my dailies done. but i was so behind on quests that it started feeling more like a chore than anything so i stopped. i played some nier replicant for a while but it's also been burning me out with those low material drops. i haven't watched any regular tv either in ages. i'd have it atleast run in the background but not anymore.

the only thing i ever did after work was gaming or watching anime and now i don't do either. like, i have some anime i want to watch or continue but i just can't get myself motivated to put them even on. so i lie in bed, doom scroll tiktok and write on c.ai. and it feels like i'm wasting time. because if i already lie here, then i could atleast watch something, right? but no. just lie and rot. and then i still manage to be sleep deprived on a daily because i keep doing the revenge bedtime procrastination and go to sleep at the worst hours.

Okay so, i have a commission related question. I hired someone for my most expensive commission as of yet. I already knew when checking the prices that they were expensive, but i had hoped for the result to be like, stunning afterwards. I am not completely dissatisfied with how it turned out but i feel like the work was kind of rushed.

I was shown a sketch, that i asked to get changed the tiniest bit. It was pretty rough so i had trouble visualising the end result. Got sent the new sketch, still the same rough sketch with that one thing scribbled on now, and was immediately asked if they could complete the work from there.

Two days later they sent me the pretty much completed piece, but i asked them to get another few things changed because i wasn't happy with how some things had turned out.

At this point i already felt super bad because to the artist, the piece was finished already, and i had them go over stuff. I was sent the updated version shortly after, and it looked much better, but in my opinion not as good as i had hoped with how much i had paid (upfront).

When i got sent the finished commission (right after they showed me the updated version) i realized that there were other things that bothered me. Some of the anatomy was off (that i hadn't directly noticed before), where as in other pieces from them, it wasn't. Also the things i had made them fix felt like a rushed fix. There was an anatomy fix and they barely changed it. I asked for two colour adjustments in two areas and honestly think they just tweaked the area with hue and saturation instead of going over it. I did realise that rush fix, hence was too scared to say anything about the new issues i saw in the piece.

Now, i am no active artist, but i went to art school. I know how to draw, but i am way too hard on myself to actively do it. Just the thought of drawing makes me anxious and that i will fail with whatever i'll try.

But i couldn't help but to go over the problem areas of the artwork myself and i personally think it looks better now.

My problem is, how to go from here. The artist wants me to be 100% happy with the piece and i am not. And i feel like whatever i do or say, i will come off as a rude and complicated commissioner. I'm not gonna ask for a refund, but wonder if i could ask for something else? But idek what? A background? Idk. But then again i'd have to admit to my changes i made on their piece if i would want something added on it.

My main issue is really the price i think. I've had commissions done in the past, that were cheaper, but where way more work has been put into it. Like, an actual whole background. Or i had one where the drawn character had two different versions, and that artist made a glitched gif version with it. This one is two characters standing, no background, nothing.

Is there anything i can do or say? Should i confront the artist? Can/should i ask for additional thing because i am not 100% satisfied with the piece and had to go over it myself? Or should i just lie to them, tell them i'm happy with it? I feel like the latter would make me subconsciously hate the piece though, again, because of what i paid for it.
