Thank you guys for your feedback...As Gundam correctly assumed, I am new here thus I was unaware of how things worked in here in fanon.

But I must say I am used to a different system, which is probably why I just assumed I could request something and people would be willing to help. I wonder if any of you know about XDA forums, it is a forum dedicated to Open Source and Android... where I am an active member, and now am knowledgeable enough to actually be of help. In contrast to fanon, where I haven't yet found a way to be helpful and contribute back to the community. In XDA, and Open Source communities in general, people don't usually request money for their services, usually it's only recognition. Thus I wasn't expecting such strong opposition to the idea here.

Also following the Open Source spirit I despise those who steal content from other people and claim it as their own, and lying to achieve free stuff (Known in the IT world as Warez). Thus this would never be something I would ever do! As I said in the original post...I would ALWAYS give full credits to the owner/creator of the content I make use of, Whether I have paid for it or not, never would I claim it my own, or leave good work anonymous. Feel free to stalk my posts on XDA forums, under the same alias (Kyuubi10).

Now, while I would never ask for free art from people who make a living through art, what I am looking for is a hobbyist rather than a professional. Someone who doesn't make a living through art, but just enjoys it. I am not obligating, nor forcing anyone to make free art for me, and never will. I am just leaving an open request for those who are willing and kind enough to help me out. As the saying goes, those who never ask, they never get.

I may never get free art this way, that will not upset me, again I will repeat...I am forcing NO ONE, to make art for me. Especially not a professional. If I am to get anything the artist has freedom to make the choice of doing it or not.

I hope I am also free to ask under the above conditions...just in case I find a kind person who wants to help.

I don't know how I may be of help to fanon, but here are some things which come to my head: IT advice, translations (Portuguese, Italian), Reviewing of fan made content, help developing/improving fan made content, and creating a story which contains fan made content.
