Well I really liked the concept of Sectus's thread and would like to get my characters drawn up, so I figured lets do one myself.
Pretty much I saw the amazing work that was done on Sanra and I have extra money lying around I would like to open this up to all the budding artist out there on guru

I will give you 3 diferent characters in which you can artistically reprodue in anyway you see fit, you may use multiples in the drawing you may chose which armor you like better on them, i'll just give you some pictures and the names of my toons.
Me and my guild (might possibly be taking votes from some of the readers aswell) will be judging the pictures as the contest is over and when the contest is over, I'll create a new thread announcing the winners. I'll be judging based on how good the drawings looks and how entertaining the drawings are. So if you're limited to drawing rather crude stick figures then making a humourous picture is definitely the way to go.
My three toons that I am asking to be drawn are (unfortunately my graphics card blows and when ever I try and increase graphic quality my comp crashes :'( ):

just a little piece of advice, take screens from the login window, the characters will have a little more detail and will be easier for everyone to draw them

Also, make sure the character is shown in good light, e.g outside of Augrey Rock or Maatu. Use a photo editing package to cut out the character from the background, and for face shots take screenshots in cut scenes.

Yes this is a guru only contests, I know I would get more entry's if I put this up on other sites but the thing is I wanted to just do this for the guru comunity.
Hope I get some good interest and when the time comes honest picks for who should win.

I will not take preferance over someone that uses color over someone who does not but I can not speak for the members of guru who I will be asking for their vote as well (somewhat small guild

). Also I have noticed everyone is drawing my monk in 1.5k kursic over her fow set and also forgetting completely about the other 2 toons, just to remind you there is a secondary reward to having the favorite picture of each toon.
I am very happy with the envolvement so far and the quality of the work is great as well, I thank all of you who are entering or have entered

Egnki, really, its just sooo good. I especially love the face.
The dimensions, the shading, the pose, its all perfect in my opinion. If your not too proud of that, well I certainly can't wait to see what you do consider good ^_^
