Well, a lot of art threads say their requirements to be drawn, and usually the requirements include not asking to be drawn, but staying and chatting for a little while. Other ones require a certain score. And a lot of them aren't taking requests for what's drawn, they're just drawing headshots of the avatar, or the upper half of the avatar, or a chibi.
While I'm sure you were polite when asking zerojinkui and Gogandantes_Onimusha2, you should always check the requirements first, they are there for a reason, to try and make sure that the people who get art deserve it and will appreciate it (someone who stays and chat politely obviously wants the artwork more than someone who posts once then leaves the thread and expects to be drawn).
Zerojinkui, you may think your request is simple but stop and think for a minute: the people running the art threads are making art for a lot of people, it's time consuming enough to draw each one's avatar, even with just a head shot or something (especially they way some people draw them, they put a lot of effort into them) but to draw a full body avatar, in a requested pose, with other people around the avatar? Then they're not just drawing one character, they're drawing several, just for one person. Then others might start asking for multiple characters in their picture, with specific poses, which would take a lot of time.
When you have specific art requests like that, it's better to just start your own thread like you did, unless you can find a person patient enough to offer free art with of anything the requester wants, but with the amount of people who go to those art threads wanting to be drawn, very few people will offer that, because then they're usually just digging their own grave gonk
And if you read through that wall of text, have a cookie 3nodding
And on a completely different note, I love your avatar Smiley Gremlin! XD
