How are you threat to the market if you're not a part of the market at all?
I consider the ones who take requests to be people who are either want exposure, want to improve, going through an art block and generally just does art purely as hobby.
The ones not willing to pay will not pay anyway no matter how small the amount It's the people who charge an extremely small amount who piss me off. Like, if you're serious about it then don't charge so less and threaten the artist's who charge a decent amount. Like wtf lmao, literally giving an excuse to assholes to say "Huhhhh you need so much money?! That botch charges a third of what you do!" It gives an idea that that's only the amount that artists deserve, otherwise why would someone ask me "Hey so will you take @$20 for (a complete full body fully rendered character design)?"
