Thank you! Yes, that happened to me. I think it helps that you only have to choose six to draw, so if you get more than six requests, you can filter out the ones you don't know or don't particularly want to draw. I only had seven people make requests, but I was still glad I could leave one of them out because one of the commenters listed a bunch of characters I didn't know and wouldn't have enjoyed drawing. Even of the six I chose, I didn't know Jack Spicer by name (I only saw a little of Xiolin Showdown ages ago and didn't remember him), but when I looked up his picture, I could tell he was going to be fun to draw, so I had no problem with it :) If I hadn't gotten enough requests I was planning to ask for suggestions on other sites too, though that didn't end up being necessary.
Several of the commenters made multiple suggestions, so that could help with filling up six slots even if you don't have six people make requests! And I suppose you could list particular series you're willing to draw from if you want to narrow it down to characters you know.
Those came out really great! I'd like to attempt the "Six Fanarts" challenge, but I'm not on most social media, and even if I were (and had enough followers) I'm afraid someone will request a character I'm not familiar with. Did anyone give requests from fandoms you didn't know much about? How did you deal with that?
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
