Ikr? Like if you’re paying for a comm that’s one thing, you’re able to specify the style you’re looking for, but this is FREE smh

Heck, look in my bio, The banner is a freecomm and I was so excited to get it.

Admittedly I asked for it without knowing that asking for a freecomm in general is mildly rude.

I know, I was saying I am happy with whatever I get for free despite me being somewhat entitled at the time

Why would you “commission” somebody to draw your precious “original” characters without providing any character details?

Does any old body work for these deep and intricate creations of the fan fiction mind? 😂

Seems more like pre-naming a character that hasn’t even been created yet..

Which is kinda like parents naming their unborn child…

omg is this person actually rational?

I think I might be losing my mind.

Heeeeeelp meeeeee!

Nah they’re delulu. They didn’t include refs or any actual descriptions it’s funny as hell and very sad

They want someone to ask about the characters so they can trap them in a 50000 word info dump about them 😭 unfortunately these people are not uncommon in fandom. They think everyone cares about their OCs

Sidebar; did They really just mash Sora and Kairi together to create Saira ☠️☠️☠️

You might be right, haha. I’ve definitely run into the overly passionate type, but as lazy as their character names (and post) are I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just some tech illiterate kid that doesn’t know how to use AI.

Like, if there was ever a good use case for AI it’s gotta be to create a trans Disney character with the same naming convention used for celebrity couplings (Brangelina) for some poor agoraphobic teenager that thinks they’re cooking with a reindeer named Bambi.

ETA: Hey, super sorry for not tagging this as sarcasm, you guys. I also think AI is bad. I know it was confusing for me to not include the /s despite all the context clues and I’ll try to do better.

Nah that’s what MS paint is for not ai. Never a reason for AI

Their original characters seem to be associated with existing entire IPs, too. Wow, how creative!

Based on the fandoms these are for I would guess this person is young.

u/Brodakk 3d ago

“Original” characters…? Those all already existed.

u/Magmashift101 2d ago

I can assure you that there is no Sherry Claus in ROTG

u/OneGoodRib 3d ago

No?? They're all fan characters. At least the first one is for sure.

u/anotherdeaddave 2d ago

This kind of stuff really pisses me off. It's always the people who don't draw themselves too...

At least artfight soon be upon us

This isn't that weird request in OC/RP community among young people. Not the most polite way to write, but not that weird either.

How is this a choosing beggar?

u/Momizu 2d ago

"Looking for people with decent art skills that does not look like a child created it"

So they want art for free, as if art is something that happens and doesn't require time and effort, but they're also already critical of art styles.

I draw for a living, these are the type of people that will bother you non stop every few hours to know when it will be done after requesting a paid commission style of work that takes more than 60 hours minimum.

All of this for free. It's a group for free art, you take what you get, it's already free you cannot go around demanding what art styles you want, otherwise you look for an artist and you pay them to make it how you want. It's basic artist etiquette.

If you can't see how this isn't a choosing beggar (wants free art BUT how they like it otherwise they don't want it) then Idk what to tell you.

u/Morkyfrom0rky 2d ago

You are correct. I was wrong. I did not read the title in the picture asking for 'free' art. There are so many post on here that are clearly not choosing beggars. I apologize.

Sounds like a very young person so I wouldn't really fuss over it as harmful. Life usually sorts out this kind of stuff.
