Well basically, you should understand how artist works. Its not like they didn't spend time on doing arts. And I as an artist, a multimedia artist wanted my art worth of something after spending times working on it.

So if you somehow can convince the artist that drawing your OC is worth for their time, then they would gladly do it for you.

But my suggestion is, If you want something such as free arts, NEVER ask them for it. Gain their respect first. The artist who respect you would probably one day ask you if you want help, therefore giving you free art. And that happen without you asking them for it.

I learn that from my experience on my other community. I barely ever asking for free stuff, but then POOF!!! some friend of mine who respect me suddenly wanted to give me a free thing without me asking them.
