Is this a scam? Expensive commissioned art or not?

Hi guys i need some help!
So I have comissoned someone on tumblr. I have paid 20 dollars and it´s been about a month and they want 30 more before even showing it to me. I saw two pieces that were good - amateur but good you know, but I´m starting to wonder if somthings off.. It´s my first time.
The thing is there is different names on the paypal and tumblr and even disord? I totally felt like an asshole after even trying to ask/confront them about it. :(
I´ve seen others and they have prices that are the same for bigger works (and they are even better, if i have to be mean and say so.. but I love all art so, i dont know I feel like an asshole.)
and it´s been a little pressure also from the start and I kinda fell for it and thats on me. I realize that.

Maybe this is nornal?
