ok so since some people don’t seem to know the difference

requests  =/= commissions =/= suggestions

requests is when you ask somebody to draw you something *for free* , if they’re ok with the subject, and sometimes the artist keeps a list of all the requests and will try to get around drawing all of them

commissions same as requests except you pay money for the artist to get done your drawings

suggestions are just casual ideas you can give the artist who might get around drawing them eventually, but without any actual expectations to see the finished drawing because doing it or not is completely up to the artist
