Calling all Windia artists

I want someone to draw myself and my boyfriend's (NovanDeity) avatars. I'm paying 1billion mesos to the best artwork submitted. I'd prefer anime style art and perhaps a background in Pantheons woods. The avatars will be drawn together, not separate drawings. The best picture with best detail and colors will win the 1bil prize. Second place artwork will win 500 million mesos. I'm only looking for real serious artists and while many of you can produce great artwork please don't be offended if I don't pick yours. You can Find me on Windia if you need additional details or inbox me. The rankings are fixed again so you can go by the current avatars.
Heres an example http://www.basilmarket.com/show/screen/224626 by @damonaire (Just for ideas, does not have to be exactly like this)
Thank you! Note: Friday March 1st will be the last day to apply.
PS. Due to the amount of applicants there will also be a third place prize. 250 million mesos.
Edit: Here is the screenshot some of you requested. http://tinypic.com/r/4ujd51/6

Judges are listed below. Some of them you may be familiar with as they are also excellent artists.
@Aerogaa , @MiladyMomo , @Liqs , and @Jkidd7 (surprise)
You will be judged on:
Originality
Accuracy of your artwork
Color usage
Background
We will use a scale of 1-10. 1 would be very weak and 10 would be very strong. So for example, a score of 5 would be mediocre and 9 would be strong.

Originality: 6.5 - Chibis like this are quite common, however they do fit "anime style" so chibi artwork is not surprising. Including the monster in the lower right was a cool idea too and adds some cute detail.
Accuracy: 8 - Although the artist forgot the capes of the characters overall I think they were able to portray the two characters accurately to their avatars.
Color usage: 9 - The artist used a fairly pastille color palette on the artwork which works well with the appearance of the artwork. They used dominantly cool colors as well which caused the warm colors to pop quite a bit. I feel like there could have been more light-dark contrast on the artwork though.
Background: 8 - I can recognize the background as pantheon but there could be more color usage in the trees behind the couple, or perhaps a bit of depth lightening up the trees and such that are farther away.

A very well drawn however very basic picture. It's definitely very cute. Where it falters is in the colouring; it's very flat and could have really given this picture a lot more depth and 'pop'.

The image is cute but it is very flat and the colors don't pop at all. Coloring and background are its weaknesses; additionally, the scanning shows the paper's creases on the edges, which slightly take away from the piece itself.

By @miladymomo
Originality: 6.5 - It's a basic idea of a couple standing together holding hands facing straight at the viewer. Used quite often. They could have changed the position or poses of the characters to make it seem more natural as opposed to what looks like a basic portrait. I like that they used a semi anime- semi realistic style though.
Accuracy: 8.5 - The artist didn't add the cape, but the details for the rest of the characters are accurate.
Color usage: 9 - The background being mostly cool colors and the characters mostly being warm makes the characters really pop. There is a fairly wide range of colors used as well.
Background: 10 - The background is very detailed. There is a good sensation of depth and the trees are done very well. The names carved into trees are a nice touch too.

So clean. I love the background for this picture and the colours are perfect; almost too perfect. The stylistic interpretation of the background and your characters are wonderful. The only thing I don't like about it, is something about the characters look awkward. As well as the background was done I feel like the characters could have been better.

Very faithful to the original screenshot; however, it's because it's so similar to the original that it lacks in originality. I feel as though the screenshot itself was simply redrawn. Opposite of Evilcookie33's case, Polarbears strongest aspect is the background, but it's still just a background. His characters in front are the main focus, and his characters are lacking in coloring and style (they seem a bit out of place).

By @Miladymomo
Originality: 5 - Like the artwork mentioned earlier, it's a typical anime drawing of a couple standing straight towards the viewer together.
Accuracy: 7 - Neither of the characters is wearing a cape and the guy has a white shirt instead of black. The girl is wearing shoes in the image as well while the avatar is barefooted.
Color usage: 7 - There could be a lot more shading. There is also little saturation contrast throughout the artwork. It is colored fairly well though.
Background: 6 - There is little feeling of depth and I feel there needs to me more objects behind them and not just next to the side of the characters.

I love the faces but it just doesn't seem the same amount of effort was used in the rest of the picture. The background colouring is sloppy and the accuracy is a bit off.

Again as with Polarbears, very faithful to the point that it seems copied and loses originality. Colors are very basic and there is a major lack of shading; the colors clash with the background, which looks somewhat sloppy.

Originality: 8 - This piece stands out because they are in a tree as opposed to on the ground. The style is unique and the color palette is different.
Accuracy: 8 - The characters are recognizable but once again the girl is missing the bunny backpack and her shirt is different than the avatar's.
Color Usage: 7 - The most color in the picture is used on the girl's clothing. The rest consists of what mostly appears to be blacks and blues. It creates an interesting color scheme but I feel there could have been more colors used.
Background: 8 - The background is charming and detailed. I feel like it fits the scene well. However it's difficult to recognize as pantheon.

I really think this one was very well done. I love the use of watercolour, especially for a night scene like this. Such an 'innocent' picture, I could see this being in a children's book or something.

Ah, juni. As with all of juni's other works, his watercolor techniques are impeccable. The composition is cute and nice and definitely different from the typical blue and trees and barrier of the other pieces. However it's not very obvious that the location is the Pantheon woods. Additionally, though the background and color choices are amazing, the heavy usage of cool colors across the board leads the characters to blend into the background a bit. A bit more color could be used to pop them out against the bright moon behind them; a similar technique could be used on the leaves too, but it's not as important.

By @Miladymomo
Originality: 6 - It's mostly two generic characters not interacting placed in a background. There is little detail to stand out from the rest.
Accuracy: 7 - The characters when compared share lots of similarities, but certain details are different.
Color usage: 6 - There is little to no shading and the colors all share the same saturation.
Background: 6 - It appears that the two characters are standing infront of a backdrop. There is no objects to either side or directly behind them so it appears there's just a set behind them.

You can't knock this artist's effort, I think it's great. I think it's one of the few pictures that really personify your's and Brian's relationship. You're all like 'MY BOOOO' and Brian is all like 'WHAT YOU WANT WOMAN?' I love it. This one obviously isn't going to win but you can tell they worked hard on it.

Very plain and cookie-cutter from the screenshot. Colors are basic and sloppy, and the characters look off (no, not just style-wise, their proportions itself). The blue of the sky and green of the trees are way too vivid and completely detract from the characters, who should be the center of the picture but yet blend in completely to everything else, hindered further by the contrast in the sky.

By @Miladymomo
Originality: 8 - The style is fairly unique but still shows influence from anime and chibis.
Accuracy: 9 - Like the other drawings there is a lack of honeybee wings. The characters are quite accurate otherwise.
Color usage: 8 - There is a good amount of shading and color variety.
Background: 8 - Although there is a lack of thorough detail, there is a good sense of depth and it's fairly recognizable as pantheon.

It's very very cute. Colors are very vibrant and each part has its own weight in the picture. The shading is quite simple though, and it could have been pushed further to enhance the mood it's trying to give off. The colors may work well but are somewhat clashing. The composition could have been worked better, as the guy looks a bit off and his details are hidden due to his looking away. And really, when does someone looking away from the camera look good in a picture?

By @Miladymomo
Originality: 9 - The style shows clear anime influence but also shows details that the artist has done to stand out.
Accuracy: 9 - There is once again a lack of capes but otherwise the characters are drawn accurately.
Color usage: 9 - The background could use more color variety in the trees but otherwise creates good color contrast and shading.
Background: 9.5 - The background is easily recognizable as pantheon and shows great detail and effort. With a couple flowers or details farther back it would be a 10.

Very solid picture, you can just feel how serene this picture is through the colors and details. I just feel there is a lot going on in the foreground (the yellow flowers) and it's taking the focus away from you characters. Not a big deal but when something is this good you gotta pay attention to the little things. Other than that I think this picture is flawless.

Colors are well done and the background has a strong feeling of depth and atmospheric perspective. However, as with juni, it's not apparent that it's the Pantheon woods, but again it's not that big of a concern. The biggest concern is although atmospheric perspective is here in terms of coloring, it's not here in terms of detail and rendering. The grass up close looks just as well colored as the trees in the back. Additionally the grass around the characters lacks some sort of rim or outline; as a result they blend into the characters and detract from them. Characters could have been colored more and rendered further.

Originality: 8 - Clear anime influence but there is a coloring style that makes it different from the rest.
Accuracy: 8 - I feel the guy needs wings, but finally the girl has a bunny (even if it isn't used as a cape).
Color usage: 10 - The colors are very vivid and there is excellent shading and color variety.
Background: 9 - Easily recognized as pantheon and is full of detail.

I fell in love with this picture the first time I saw it. As far as your anime style requirement, I feel this is the best one that achieved that; it looks like a movie poster for an anime. The colours, shading, and attention to detail are great. The background could have had a little bit more depth but focal points are your characters and they're done absolutely stunningly.

Supah cute. The anime style really comes out here and the composition is well done. However the poses could use a bit more work here (his hand, it's like wait that looks disjointed from the arm, and his outfit is pure black what is going on). Coloring of the characters is pretty nice, but in contrast to the background it may be a bit too nice. I mean that the background could use more work to match with the characters; also, there isn't a coherent color scheme and the colors in the back clash a bit with the front.

By @Miladymomo
Originality: 9 - They found a good balance of realism and anime style. I like their style myself.
Accuracy: 8 - Lack of capes but is otherwise very accurate. Clothing could use more detail though.
Color usage: 8 - Although there is little bright color usage, they made it night so it is acceptable. They should have brightened up the shooting stars though.
Background: 10 - Easily recognizable as pantheon and there is lots of depth between them and the city in the background. Detailed nicely too.

This picture is hot. A great stylistic interpretation of what you wanted. The detail in the shading and creases of your characters are phenomenal. Not a lot of colour contrast but the little details definitely make up for it.

This is really nice and it gives off a very ambient atmosphere, which is what it intended. Characters are well done; however there is a lacking background. In comparison to the area around the characters, the background looks quite sloppy. Leaving a rough background can work in some stylistic choices; however here it looks out of place and unfinished.
