DO’s and DON’TS
- Describe in as much details what you’re looking for both regarding the subject and the technical specifications/limitations
- Mention the intended use
- Being very specific ofwhat you’d like and trigger someone’s interest usually offers the best chances of requrest being picked up
- It’s not uncommon to offer something in return, mention the options or discuss in private.
- “I have no budget and this should be done for free” is usually not a good pitch
- Be aware that creating ANSI artwork (depending on dimensions) is usually hours of work. The chances of getting someone drawing a full BBS menu set for fun is quite low
- Supply reference images or other ASCII/ANSI artwork that aid in illustrating what you’re looking for
- Most (but not all) artists to be properly credited for their work
