So, I had a "failed" commission. We found each other online. The piece was a fully rendered nsfw piece. I was desperate for rent money, so I accepted $35. I kept them updated on the sketch and rendering, though I was a bit slow. Finally, when I submitted the final piece, they asked if it was a WIP and sent in their references again (which I had followed). Throughout the comm they continuously talked to me as a friend and even asked to stream with them? I shook it off mostly, just wanting to finish the art. Anyways, when I went to edit the piece to be more "accurate", I accidentally deleted a layer that contained the arms and my art program would not let me get it back. I broke it to them that I'm sorry, but this is the finished piece and I cannot edit it. Which, felt reasonable as the price was already low, I had went off a reference they provided, and it was nsfw. They had said something along the lines of "that's okay! It looks good. I wouldn't mind if you ever want to redo it." I kind of ignored that because they then switched to another topic. Since I finished the comm, I felt no obligation to redo a large majority of the piece that would take me another 5 hours.

Today they messaged me with a "checking in" and I realized, very horrified, that they're expecting me to continue to commission. As I said before, this person was a bit strange during the comm and it didn't help I was working for like $2 an hour (it took roughly 18 hours). Should I just block this client? Is it unprofessional?

Edit: Can't respond to the comment saw it in my notifs but won't appear. I gave them a finished piece WITH ARMS don't worry! It was completely rendered and on par with the rest of my work (though, I honestly didn't like working on it, but I pushed through). The arms got deleted post-finished comm when I decided to redo some of it for them. I did not tell them I was going to edit the piece, I just decided to. Therefore, they had no expectation affirmed by me that there was more to the art. Then, I told them honestly that what I sent was the final piece, as I had sent it in finished and had no way to edit it without putting in way more hours that weren't justified.

Had the worst freshman year. Had like a 1.6 GPA at the beginning of this year. Struggled, almost got evicted, and ended up with a 2.0 gpa last semester. Got up to a 2.5 GPA this semester annddd still technically a sophomore. Chat I think I'm actually going to get above a 3.0 if I stay locked in. Will take about two more semesters, but I can do it!! Also found an internship that I am getting my hopes up over. There's a possibility I won't have to Klarna a tent on the side of the road when I graduate! I could possibly go to grad or law school. Maybe one day I can afford an apartment with only ONE roommate and the ability to pay off half my student loans by the time I'm dead! It's the little things that count right now!!

Update: I was allowed to turn it in! To answer a few questions before anyone assumes anything; final submissions end on May 1st. I was not pushing for my professor to accept my final when the term is over. I promise, I'm not that stupid. I was able to access the instructions and there was no mention of not accepting the late submission, plus no announcements (I check every announcement when they come out and rechecked when I realized I'd be better off taking the five point deduction over an unfinished paper.).

Hi! Sorry if this comes off as entitled.

We had the final paper due on the 27th. I realized I wasn't going to get it done by that point and checked the syllabus, which stated that the final can be turned in late with 5 points deducted every 24 hour period. It specifically stated the final paper. I figured I'd take the 5 point penalty and turn it in a few hours late. I checked to see if I could turn it in, but the submissions were closed. My professor though, had done this before with assignments and had opened up major assignments in the past if emailed.

I emailed her, including my essay to make sure she knew I wasn't lying about getting it done within the time period, since she would likely take a day to see the email. She emailed me back and said late submissions were not allowed. Would it be rude to push back for it? This is like 15% of my grade and I unfortunately have a B, so a 0 on the assignment can take a hit. I can't look back at the instructions because of the assignment being closed, but I don't remember it at all saying late submissions weren't allowed, nor her ever mentioning it in class or through announcements.
