If I did not pay, I cannot use the signature too. There is nothing to take advantage of on my end.
And I would even buy his 1st attempt If he explain things clearly to me right from the very start where he lost the source file without wasting his or my time.
I just overall felt that he is blaming me for lost of source file which I do not have control over. What a waste, his 1st attempt was close to what I am looking for...
Its not just about the loss of the source file (I have saved files in the past to a location to find it isn't where I thought it was, it happens), its about the time investment, If he keeps making and remaking things to get it to your liking, when does it stop? The 3rd attempt or the 47th attempt? 500 - 1500 is based on FG purchase price 1 - 2.5ish hours that's generally 1 initial attempt + 1 - 2 tweaks otherwise you're investing more time in than you're getting out of making the graphics and what you were asking for was bigger than the "reward"
You ask for full sword, the image below is likely the render used or similar to, a version with the full length blade doesn't commonly exist and enters into the realms of custom work which vastly increases price,

You aknowledge you're not a designer, so you've no reference point of how long things take, getting hostile and calling him out in the post is kinda ridiculous though, If you're unhappy, take it on the chin, you've lost nothing because you've spent nothing, he's lost time and has every right to put his foot down and say he doesn't want to continue.
