[QUOTE="Alf, post: 2687992, member: 35356"] If I've understood things correctly these artists are all doing the sketches in their spare time, for fun, and free of charge. In that case I should say it's fully up to them to decide when - and even if - they are going to do a certain character. You want them to work faster? Pay them. I admire the fact that they are willing to do this for free and everybody should be deeply grateful that they are making the effort. I'm sorry for being a bit grumpy here but as a not yet fully professional sculptor (a few paid jobs but not that many yet) I get tired of people mailing and saying "Hey can you knock me up a character for my RPG; I've only got five bucks but it's a great idea", obviously without having any idea of the time and effort involved. Edit: I must clarify. I usually say YES to such requests but then one guy started virtually harassing me with questions like "aren't you finished yet?" despite the fact that I had offered to do it for him free of charge, just as a challenge. And THAT bugs me. [/QUOTE]
