Passions like these, for instance!
I'd like this creator to use their unique style to draw something like this!
With everyone's support, I want to push myself to do something I normally can't.
I want to read a sequel to this manga!
I want a continuation of this series made!
I want to please even more fans!
I want to see my OCs in the style of the creator I love!
I just want to support them secretly...
I want to create work with everyone, not by myself
At any rate, I just want some sort of theme!
I could use some new ideas!
I want to read a story by that artist written in my favorite setting!

Accepting requests
As for the Co-request feature, I understand how it can make the creator happy to get paid more, but from a fan's standpoint, I was worried whether the first one to request something would get jealous because they wanted their request to be only theirs. However, the content of the original request doesn't change and I realized that co-requests feel more like a way to join the requester in giving the artist even more support.

This is the first time I use this kind of feature, but it sounds like a lot of fun and exciting to give a shape to the ideas of people who always check out my manga and illustrations!

Accepting requests
I'm looking forward to the Requests feature because it'll give me the chance to draw all sorts of things!
I think the beauty of it is that you can easily request an illustration without having to think of it as a job! I hope requests will make people enjoy illustrations even more.

Accepting requests
It's a very innovative feature, and I think it will enrich the activities of both creators and fans on pixiv more than ever before. When it comes to manga, there's a wide range of things one can request, from certain genres or situations to more detailed requests like turning movies or novels into a manga. For the creators, it could be an indicator of their own needs and strengths, and an opportunity to try new works!

This sounds like fun!
I've never used a feature like this before, so I hope I'll have a good time with it.
I'm looking forward to using it in order to challenge myself to draw themes and motifs that I'm not usually good at!

Differently from regular commissions, this service includes a co-request feature and allows you to disclose the contents of a request, so I would like to use it as a communication tool with the people who always check out my works!

Hi there, I'm Shiratama. I've decided to try this thing out!
I don't usually accept requests from individuals, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to hear directly from everyone about what kind of characters and situations they would like me to draw. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of requests I get. Thanks!

It's been about 10 years since I started using pixiv, so the fact that a service so familiar to me has started this new feature made me want to try it.

Sounds interesting! I'd like to give it a try because it's easy to open your requests and you can decide if you want to take on each challenge at your own pace after looking at the content of each request!

Since pixiv has so many registered users, I think this feature will make it easier to smoothly send and accept requests.
I'm looking forward to starting receiving requests and draw illustrations that I wouldn't have come up with otherwise!

It will be a lot of fun to have access to such an environment where you can easily ask your favorite artists to draw something for you or join other people's requests. I'd like to contribute to this service both as a creator and a fan.

I usually draw whatever comes to my mind, so I'm looking forward to receiving your illustration requests that will hopefully inspire me to draw something that I wouldn't have thought of before!
Thank you!
