Commemorative Design: Up to 1.5 mil prize!

I have decided I really want designs done of two very special animals in my life that I lost this year. One is my rabbit Little Black; he was my first-ever Best of Breed win at a show, and he was the sweetest boy, well-loved by everybody. His age finally caught up with him at the beginning of the month, though. :(




The second is my cat, Dusty, and I must apologize immediately for the TERRIBLE quality of the pic! For her, I would really like some sort of dainty collar-like add-on, preferably with one of those little round bells hanging from it. She was my childhood pet, and I had her my entire life; she was even born on my bed! This August, I lost her to Lymphoma at the age of 15, and I know I will never have another cat like her again. She was so special, in so many ways, not your normal cat by any means.



Since these are to commemorate beloved fur babies, I am going to be rather picky about the art, but I will appreciate any efforts peope can give. These will remain open for one month. I do not have a specific preference for lines; I am leaving that open to the artists. The only thing I ask is that you make sure your lines are used in accordance with EV and the artist's rules, with proper credits. Yes, I will check! You MUST provide a link to where you got the lines, or I will ignore your submission!!!


What I am paying:
- 500K for Dusty and 1 mil for Little Black (I'm keeping difficulty levels in mind, and being a solid color, she should be really easy.)
- An additional 100K on Dusty if you will do one tag and one sig recolors; for Little Black, this will be 250K
- If you do two tags and two sigs or if the one tag and one sig are customs, I will double my offer on the additional recolors

My rules:
- Sorry, but I don't know how I'd feel about alternate designs of my beloved animals floating around in the hands of people who didn't personally know them. Please use your submissions for the contest only!
- Do your best work possible...these guys meant a LOT to me!
- I would like really nice refs if possible!
- If you do tags and sigs, keep in mind I really like nice scenery...I especially like the appearance of an oil or acrylic painting!
- Treat both my babies with love; I really do not want any cartoony stuff, because they both deserve better!
- No, the refs do not HAVE to be horses, but I would love it if you could make them into horses, nonetheless.
- Yes, everyone can make more than one submission; I will accept up to three.

That about covers it...I will select the winners on January 15, cuz it's my dad's birthday, and I will remember that way!

Thank you in advance to anybody who makes these submissions; I really appreciate your efforts!
