You're drawing a commission, show the wip, and the person who commished you insists that you make a change that is impossible (like, it'd literally break the anatomy and be wrong, physically impossible). What do you do?
The customer is always right. Mention that it will look weird, and then proceed as best as you can. As long as it looks good to the commissioner, they will pay you for it.

that's the problem, I just don't know if it's a good idea to compromise your own art for this reason. I don't want people to look at my stuff and think "this is wrong and broken, why didn't he notice it? is he a bad artist or what?"

That's a good point. Keep your integrity. There are plenty of artists that don't draw certain subjects cause they dont want to draw those themes, so why not require it be anatomically correct?

While you do have a good point, the client came to you to see you paint a picture for them up to their specifications; while they do want you to be artistic with it, it's within their limits, otherwise, they'd be paying you to just do another picture of your own concept and design. They have the final say on what their commission should look like, and if you aren't going to do what they want you to do, why are they paying you when they could go to another artist who will? Artistic integrity is great, but if you want to get paid for doing art, you need to do what your clients ask you to do. Of course, you can explain why something may not turn out as well as initially intended, but whether it is changed or left as it was, it is entirely up to the commissioner, not you. If you don't like it, you don't have to do the commission (though it seems at this point it'd be easier to just make the edit), but just keep in mind in the future that creating an impasse is not appealing to clients.
