I don't disagree with anything you're saying in general. But artists have to protect themselves as much as they have to try to put their best foot forward, part of protecting yourself is making sure you don't go into debt putting more hours into a piece then what was paid for it.

And if you do revisions for free, that is absolutely your right and your policy, but I don't think it should be automatically assumed that every artist has to or that it's expected if it was never mentioned at the start of the commission. Have you never had a "bad client" before? You need to protect yourself from bad clients just as much as commissioners need to protect themselves from "bad artists."

I know it may not sound like it, but I'm actually one of those people who will do some revisions for free and who gives people more then they pay for. I'm actually TOO NICE though because from a business perspective, I shouldn't be putting in so much work for so little money.

And a lot of this is assuming the work is sub par, or not worth the amount paid, we honestly have no idea if this is the case. We have no idea if the revisions would be free or if they would cost or if the artist would do them at all. All I'm trying to say is that it is up to the artist, and if the commissioner wanted something specific, they needed to say so long ago.
