Eversince the term "commissions" has reached this wiki, it has bothered me, because it is really, really wrong handled here. So please, stop calling simple requests commissions. Based on how easy everyone here asks for requests, I assume you have most likely no idea what requests and commissions usually are.

As a Deviant user, who's been around the world of getting others to draw for you, I can tell you that the concept of either types are badly treated around here.

Commissions are usually (usually? ALWAYS to be correct) P2U, or to say it more precisely, you have to pay (points or actual money) to get an artist draw something for you. That's the concept about commissions. You never payed for an art, so don't call it commissions.

Requests can be both, for free or P2U (for all my fellow DA friends, I know P2U is not the right thing to say, but I don't know what else to say xD). You can be happy, they they are "for free" here. On DA or anywhere else, you'd have to pay, because requests are usually seen as commissions. I never see anyone doing request for free! Never. Art trade is not included as you basically pay their art with your art. Excluding this wiki. And lately, this request trend has risen again and it upsets me how easy users jump around with it!

Artists put in time of their life. So don't just treat them as your drawing machines, just because they can draw and you are too lazy to practice.

Sorry, if I sound rude. But that's just how it feels, looking at all these crazy requesting.

I really want to remind you that you should be THANKFUL that the people here are happy to draw for you and don't charge money/points for it. So don't misuse it!
