I agree with this full heartedly, People put their time in it, when they could really be helping someone more grateful. I try to show a huge number of appreciation to people that make anything for me, mainly because It means the world to me, every drawing, every critique. Don't get me wrong, it may seem like I'm not using a drawing, but really, my whole roof in my bedroom is covered with them. People who happen to get a request are lucky, and they don't realize it because they've never done something for others, never taken time out of THEIR day and be selfless and caring of others. People may even be requesting just for the interest of popularity, but if the drawing isn't to their standards, then they throw it away? That to me is disgusting. Now I don't mean to accuse anyone of anything, but if you ask to for something, and they take time out of their life to make it, appreciate it, and appreciate them.
Wheu.. I could go on forever but for now, I'm done and I got my point out. Thank you sura for bringing this to other people's attention.
