A request is an artistic plea for the creation of a Sprite Sheet, rip or tileset. A request can either be directed at a specific artist or a community audience, which sometimes effectively creates an art collaboration.

A request is different from a commission in that a commission is charged. A person who commissions an artist expects them to create the work within an agreed time frame. In addition to the monetary payment, a commissioned artist often gets usage rights to the work. In contrast, a request is made with no expectation of payment.

Controversies

Several members were known to make an exceptionally large amount of requests within a relatively short time-span, which consistently resulted in mass frustration among other MFGGers. The repeated offense of this by such members as LooneyTunerIan and Asdfghjk resulted in a universal short tolerance of the act being accepted. It has been suggested that official policies and rules be instated regarding requests.
