Opinion on non artists requester asking multiple artists to draw their OC shipping with a canon character for free?

I find it terrible. Not only are you already not paying an artist for their time and effort, but you're using multiple artists time and effort.

There are many reasons for someone to only be doing requests and not commissions. HOWEVER, from what I have experience with it's those people requesting like three different artists at minimum.

Three different artists spending time on a drawing that they're doing for FREE when you could've asked one artist for it.

I understand if it's like a minor going around and asking multiple artists for the same thing and they don't have money or anything else they could pay the artist. (Don't pay your artist in exposure. And if you're an artist getting told "I'll give you a shout out for your art" don't take it. You deserve better than that.)

But honestly, even if it's still a minor and they don't have anything to give back to the artist because it's only a request and they're doing this to multiple artists, then no. I don't find it okay.

Pay your artists or learn to draw yourself. Art is a luxury, and you don't need to have it. Especially if you can't draw or won't pay for it. The artists who do requests, whatever their reasons, are still doing it out of kindness of their heart. They don't need to do anything for you. Especially if they aren't doing it for anything.
