I hope you're enjoying your time on the Wikia! Your page, Griffin Emrys, is looking great!

As an admin on the Wikia, I just wanted to inform you of an aspect of your behaviour. You've been asking around, commenting on a lot of pages, looking for art of Griffin.

While it's a great feeling to get art of your OC, I hope it won't be the only thing you do on this site. It's rude to constantly ask for art, and have it be the only way you interact with other members. If you only talk to someone with the intention of getting something from them, don't you think the other person would feel used?

There are other ways of talking and interacting with people on the Wikia! For instance, you can start a roleplay between your OCs, or you can comment on other people’s pages - with compliments about the OC itself, not how much the art mimics EAH style.

Also - art takes time and effort. Would you go into a bakery and ask them to bake you a cake, and not pay them for their work? But, if someone were offering free cakes, then it would be totally fine to ask for a cake and not pay for it. Well, it's the same with art. First, it's best to check with the artist whether they're okay with drawing for others. Then, it's polite to tell them what you would like drawn.

Keep enjoying the Wikia! Contact me if you have any questions or concerns, or if you just want to talk!

P.S. Rudino is an example of a Wikia user who offers free requests of OCs! He's open all the time, and here is the link to the blog he uses for requests.

P.P.S. It might be hard to find people like Rudino who will draw art for free, but you can try to start a blog post of your own, announcing that you're looking for art! That means people can offer art to you, rather than you needing to find people to draw Griffin.

P.P.P.S. Is there a name or nickname that we can call you? It's a bit impersonal to use your username all the time. You can call me Zena, by the way! I'm the one who started the site.
