Make me into a cartoon mascot contest!

    Hey guys:

    I would like to have a drawing of myself cartoon style to add to our web site. If the winner does a good job, I'll need them to design one for each of our team members in the office (17)

    Here is a great article of what I'm looking for:

    http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/01/15/isnt-it-sweet-mascots-in-modern-web-design/

    For a pic of me (cringe):

    http://www.personaltravelblogs.com/Images/me.jpg

    The more it looks like me, the better! I'm really into traveling and making money, so if you could incorporate those elements that'll be even better!

    I haven't got a huge budget however with the oportunity to work on the other designs it could be worth you while.

    $25 via paypal to the winner.

    Any Q's, please let me know!

    I would suggest increasing the budget a bit more, cause the last illustration i did was $200.00, 50.00 might be good

    $50 it is.

    The auction will end when I see a design I like, however I will give 24 hour notice for final entries to come in.

    I will also provide honest feedback for every entry :)

    Good luck!

    Wow! That is amazing! It's sooo real like looking!

    A couple of notes:

    I'm not one for wearing shirts - A polo shirt would work good
    I'd like to add a travel feel as thats my passion
    I'm not keen on the dollar badge
    My lips are a tad to bright

    Other than that, it's excellent!

    Aries - I'm liking it a lot!

    Just one problem: the foot. It's considered very rude here in Thailand to show/point with the feet, so would appreciate if you could change this. If I ever wanted to use it other than our company site, I wouldn't feel comfortable using it here in Thailand, so better to change this - I hope you understand :)

    Hi watri

    I'm not really feeling this, a few observations:

    Face: I don't think it looks like me!
    Drink: I'm not keen on using a drink like that as I've seen this on someone else's site.
    Cap/hat: Don't like
