Basically, I draw characters for those who stick around regularly for a few months. The population here is far too transient for me to draw a character for everyone who comes along and asks. You see, it actually takes a lot of creative energy to draw a character and make it look like a specific person, so much so that I can usually only do one, maybe two, in an evening. Non-user characters are much easier - I have been known to do ten or more in a single sitting without a problem.
Anyway, all this means is that I am not going to do a character for someone who has just arrived. Stick around, become part of our community, and in a couple of months, sure, you will get your character.
Oh, by the way Andy - nope, sorry, I only do originals. I don't like other people editing my art (I am very possessive) and as such I don't like to do the same to other artists. *shrug* Just a personal quirk, sorry. LadyJ's art was a special case - she asked me if I would colour her drawings before putting pen to paper, and that was the original plan. It was a collaboration, rather than a reworking.
