@Kyuubi10 There's a reasoning behind all of this.

See, in this economy, where people like Flora have actually managed to turn their passion into a career, money is tight and they've got bills to pay. For them to actually muster up the strength to put out impressive art day by day, they need money to make their world go round. That's where paid commissions come in; even Mozart did it himself back in his heyday.

But hey, if you've got a tight budget, you could try and practice on your own art skills for a chance to enter the market. Provided you have the time and patience, of course.

Of course, someday you might get something free - though it will certainly be because you were famous and talented enough to make a trade with the artist of your choosing, or maybe it's because you somehow forked over enough cash and supported them like a loyalty program to actually manage to get them to do personal requests.

So, you have all these options laid out in front of you. Pick wisely, because in this world of scarcity, nothing is ever truly free. There's always a price.
