Also yes it is better to get paid for something rather than getting biffed on the bill altogether. I’m sure I still have at least 1 client that still owes me a couple grand from when I started doing live action video(must be 20 years ago now)…I had the opportunity to open a can of whup ass on the guy, but I had to let it go.

It feels so rare to see an agency pay for spec work these days… 300 ain’t bad tho (I’m broke)

Man, at least they still gave you something. initially I thought this story was them ghosting you after you were the final artist. Did they even end up using the single drawing?

Nope. They just paid me for one piece they never used. This is a microcosm of what happens at big studios that buy whole projects that get shelved. Until artists start doing co-op owned studios we will be always be subject to this kinda stuff…that’s life. Gotta laugh at it or die…lol
