How Not to Ask An Artist To Draw Manga For You

[telophase]

One of the people I watch over on DA just posted a work in progress, and the second comment received was this (line breaks and spacing preserved):

Hello! my name is [name redacted],

and i am currently writing a

Fantasy story, i was wondering if

you would be interested in

making some Fantasy Manga for me, it is

original and all i need to do is

get the story out there, my hopes

are to get the story out into

video games and cartoons

eventually,
but i haven't climbed that far up

the mountain yet.
If I do earn money from this

project, i can assure you will

get some of the bid.
Well, send me back a message if

you are interested.
my msn is

[email address redacted]

send me a message for further

details

A look at the person's Activity on their DA page reveals that the same message - with one or two minor differences in wording - has been posted on ten different people's art in the past 16 hours. Including a wallpaper made from video game screenshots.

Dude gets points for persistence but MINUS SEVERAL MILLION for common sense.


*and now I'm getting ideas for a HOW NOT TO ASK ARTISTS TO DRAW MANGA/COMICS FOR YOU tutorial.
