Of course he wasn't being sarcastic, shipbucket is a simple and accessible style and format and if you want a ship being drawn there's no better option than giving it a try yourself. If you don't appreciate this then I have no better analogy to give you than some rando walking into an art school or club and asking people to paint whatever he wants.
Do you know what he was thinking. No you don't. My question was to him, not you. Butt out. And plenty of people have made requests for something to be drawn before on here so your analogy is crap.
Yes, plenty of people have made requests. In almost all cases, the reply was the same: if you want it drawn, and you want to be certain it is drawn, best draw it yourself.
Everyone here draws ships (or other stuff) as a hobby. You can of course request something, but unless you have somebody who had no plans what to draw and finds your proposal very interesting, nobody will listen to this request. In that way, I very much agree with Charguizards analogy.
You also made your very first post on shipbucket a request. People are much more likely to listen if you are already known, have contributed, or if you have already made some effort to contribute to shipbucket and it's community. Most people would just ignore our request, Darthpanda did something better: He gave you or whoever will at some point draw the ship an excellent reference.
So before you get or act annoyed over people here, please keep in mind how your own post is received by, as you call it, the 'others more talented and dedicated than you'.
