Requests:
I will most likely decline your request. I have little motivation when it comes to the idea of making skins for other people. I allocate little time to making skins in general, and I would prefer if that time was spent on skins I really want to make for myself.
If you request me to make a skin for you: I will want as much reference material as possible because I'm comfortable with using references all the time with as much detail into the design as possible. Also, this will make it less likely you'll be unhappy with the result since I can't read your mind. You should expect me to make your skin on weekends only, specifically Friday-Saturday. There is also a good chance I will forget about your request or I will never find the motivation to do it even if I agree. So basically there is a bad outlook when it comes to me agreeing to take on a request. But at least you don't need to pay me. An exception would be if I really like the design you request or if it's just from a series I like; then I'll probably be motivated to do it.
Commissions:
I don't do them because I don't want your money. This is not a job; read the information for requests to see why not doing commissions is favorable for me and you.
