I like this idea. :3 Sometimes people just want to do a handful of doodles or sketches to practice - they don't want to charge people for it or have the hassle of opening a full shop, but it also doesn't fit in the Adoptables or Art Gallery boards like it used to with Share Your Art. Having a board specifically for giving out free customized art (as opposed to premade adoptables) would tidy up the other boards and make it a lot easier to find the free shops, as well as making it easier for people to put up a free thread whenever they feel like drawing or want some fresh characters to practice on. It might even encourage more artists to throw in the occasional freebie if there was a board dedicated to it. ^^
It would have to be monitored for begging threads, same as the Free Adoptions board (i.e. no spammy 'want free art' threads - those requests can go in character threads), but apart from that I could see it being a fun and useful expansion, so it's got my support. :3
