btw, if I make fanart for free, I won't put #thanksforbuy or something similar, and besides, I'll draw for free if I want to and if it's an acquaintance/friend, right?
Sometimes people get stuck with GREED and expect to always receive what they wish for. Sometimes they'll try to disguise it as "can you make (free) _ for me, but it's okay if you don't want to/you don't have to do it" to make it less obvious that they're hungry for art. Some artists for some reason get tricked by this just because of the greedy guy speaking in a friendly tone.
