Advice: Pose is the exact opposite of what I wanted.

[scourge]

So I need some advice here. An artist was doing $5 fullbody and shaded pieces because they were in need of money. Well they're art was nice and I decided to get a two character piece. Well actually five because the two character is part one of two. Anyway I said I wanted for the first part the two characters bending over in a presenting fashion. What I got was a front view of them standing. So what should I do? Ask for a redraw or get take it and leave?

Edit: I should probably update this. XD Sorry forgot. Well anyway I told the artist about the mistake and said this was okay, but she decided to redo it anyway after she gets a new tablet and finishes the last person left on her to do list. So the issues is resolved it seems.

Even if you choose to let it go, I would still tell the artist that the pose was wrong. Something like "I'm happy with what I got but when I said 'presenting' I meant a butt-view." That way the artist will know for next time someone asks for that pose assuming there was a language barrier and they didn't just forget. They might offer to fix it for you anyway.

If it were me and I liked the art, I'd probably offer to pay for a new commission (this time in the pose you -actually- wanted) and keep both versions.

Another option besides asking them to redo it would be to ask for a partial refund, though a partial refund of $5 might not be worth the hassle.
