Yup, welcome to the club. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever do spec work for anybody anywhere anytime. Because really, spec work is just a license for someone else to steal your work and not pay you, ever.
Your pay as a creative is largely earned by being patient with the asshole fucks the "biz" calls "clients". Clients are the scum of the earth, but in reality, they're also the people who pay your bills. Really, all that "creative" shit you do, you'd do for free because it's fun. However, it's the clients that fuck things up for you and don't treat you like the genius you are and ask you to do the same shit 47 times over just to please them. And that's where the pay comes in. You're not being paid to be creative, you've being paid to put up with their shit. Spec work means lots of bullshit, no pay. And it sucks and nobody should ever ask you to do it.
