AITAH for refusing to pay for a commison
I recently ordered an art commission from a person after putting a post up looking for artists. They spammed the comments telling me to commission them. I thought it was weird at first, but I ignored it as the art looked alright. While talking, they told me they were upset at me because I didn't choose them for the previous art commission that I wanted done, which I thought was weird, but I ignored it once again once I gave them my oc, and that was it. 20 minutes later, they showed me there progess, and they had done 3 perfect line art, and the so-called sketch the sketch looked like it had been traced poorly. There were features on the "drawing" that weren't on my oc or added to my oc. It was very obvious that they had put my drawing/oc into AI. I asked a few strangers as well as my friends, and they all said the same thing: that it looked heavily ai and traced. A couple of people asked me to ask them to send speed paint. When I asked them, they told me that due to the poor economy, they could not send the speedpaint. Basically confirming that it was IN FACT ai I told her to cancel the order after going back and forth with her. She was fighting for her life to say that it is not AI, even though there were tons of proof she then said, "I'm sorry I gave you trust issues." And with that, I was too annoyed to even respond. A few hours later, they began spamming me once again. I asked them what they wanted, and they responded that they wanted to try again and redo everything. I told them that I was looking for another artist and that they didn't care, as I was still pissed, which was most likely bad on my part. A few hours later, she texted me again, I went to look, and it was a speedpaint confirming that she could send a speedpaint, and the other one was AI. The next day, she texts me asking for payment and asking if we could raise the payment higher. I declined and told her I no longer had the money, and I had cancelled the order she kept pushing, and I am debating whether or not to pay her just to shut her up. Do I pay her? And AITAH if I don't pay her?
