Giveaway is closed. Deciding in process.

That is my first giveaway!

In the title graphic you can see examples of portraits I've previously done. Most of them were commissioned. One was a gift.
I would be very grateful if you'll somehow help promote this giveaway even if you are not going to participate

Who can and who cannot enter:

Who can:
1. Anyone who have their own OC (original character) designed.
2. Anyone who have graphic examples of their character. Done by you or other artists. Any examples now matter of their so called "quality". Dolls, imvu etc. are fine
Who cannot:
1. Anyone who's character already is in my gallery, who commission I'm doing right now or is on my waiting list. I'm sorry my friends. You know I love your characters, but I want to give others a chance.

In comments below include link to your journal.
_{It you don't mind additionaly  make a poll about my giveaway that would be great but it's not required.}

3. In comments below write:
- your OC's name; age; ethnicity/race; skin color/tone (warm, cool, pale, tan etc.); eye color; hair color; hair length; hairstyle; his/her height, body type; clothing description or link to photo/drawing; other important features or if you have really detailed reference sheets with all information needed just post links to it
- Links to references. It's better if you'll upload references to your stash and post links to them because links of photos found in the internet may become inactive at the time when I'll be chosing winners.
My style of drawing is realistic that is why I do need some photo references of face feature. This does not have to be one photo of one person. It can be one photo for eyes, other for lips, etc. But please keep in mind that when frankensteining parts of various faces result may not be how you imagined it.
Your character should be like your family member, would you expect me to draw your mom if I don't know how she looks?

4. Watching me is not required_{, but it would be nice if you did. I guess that if you want me to draw your character you appreciate my skills and style, so why not watch me, right?}

Additional info about this giveaway:

1. This is not a raffle. Winners will be chosen by me. Number of winners will depend of how many people will take part in that giveaway, but there will be at least 3 winners, that's for sure!
2. Deadline of this giveaway is March 10th 2014

Day after that I'll post poll with 10 characters of my choice to let my watchers help me decide. Winners will be announced on March 16th 2014
3. Because this is not a raffle make sure that I'll know about your character's appearance as much as possible. The more the merrier. This will heighten your chances. Backstories of your characters are most welcome too. You don't have to write all this in comments here. If you already have a detailed reference sheets, just post links to them.
4. Drawings I'll do for winners are not a commission. They'll be more like a gift. While drawing I'll not consult winner if I'm doing everything right and after publishing my work I'll not accept any requests of corrections. That is why references and detailed description are so important.
5. IF you have some written stories about your OC please post some links to them.
6.  Please don't let my gallery or my favorites folder make you think that for some reason your character could not suit me. Just because something is not in my gallery it doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to draw it or that I don't have skills for it. It only means that I don't have time for everything.
