Glen, I hate when someone mocks fun of a question. Even anything as simple as "What is a runtime". I don't think you'll find that kind of attitude here. If no one liked your question, or was mocking it then no one would take the time to ask questions about it.
Your's is a unique a request as I've ever seen. I understand it and I do think it's an ambitious undertaking. When we're on the street, we take in only what the brain needs to take in unless something unusual happens and then our brains begins to process that. When I see sweetheart, I see her smile, mischievious eyes and other things that a male is programmed to see. Not her cardiovascular system, tendons, dermis and epidermis. Yet you're right. It's all there. I don't notice her lungs expanding but I don't notice the way she breathes unless she's working out. I notice the outside of a 1940's muscle car but not the engine until I want to see what's under the hood, how the dash is set up. I do think your request is ambitious but you have an idea and a dream and you want to see it realized.
Ya, those who have studied and create content do want to work on their own stuff. Some will take on projects but only it's strikes their fancy as well. Some have been burned. When I was writing fiction for a defunct website, I received two requests. Both times, I was burned severely and I'm sure that's happened to more than one artist. It's made them wary. So if I have a request and they do agree, I am very grateful and will go out of my way for them, when they don't agree to a request, I still thank them for their time, which is their most precious resource. Really. I have one vendor I asked what I think is a simple question. She has never answered back. I don't hold any ill will toward her. Either she's busy, which I understand, my request is beneath her genius, which it probably is or she just doesn't like me which my Mom will never understand.
However, I moved that question to the forums and I got several answers, all of which served my purpose. Keep the communications lines open and know that any question asked about your project is probably a good one and means at least one person is interested.
