EXTREMO DEPORTIVO, cover

Back in 2014 this weekly sports paper asked me for 2 illustrations on 2 Mexican national soccer team players (Carlos "Gullit" Pëña and Alan Pulido) from Tamaulipas (Mx). Apparently they liked them so much they used'em for the cover as well. So regardless, what I wasn't comfortable with was that they flipped my characters and stretched one of them. Also what's with their reds?
I'm not a GD but if you are, please, PLEASE do NOT do this. It is not professional at all and it doesn't speak well of you.
