First off, congrats to CaZ (@candysbytes) for winning the Tiny Painting (and answering her email)! These take a bit longer than the cartoons, but I’ll be sure to post here when it’s done.

Second, we have a pair of cartoons. First up is Avonelle Lovhaug (@AvonelleL), who wanted to see herself with a sassy Code Poet t-shirt and her tablet PC:

And then Holly Jackson (@copygeniusgirl) let me draw her up “weeble style” with her beloved puppy, Didy:

I’ve had a ton of fun doing these, though they do seem to take longer than I originally thought, so if you want one, get yours soon! I’ll be upping the price on March 1 (once the awesome art sale is over).

I haven’t yet heard back from my Tiny Painting winner (check your spam folders!), so I’m going to delay that announcement for a few more.

Until then, we have — Cartoons!

First, there’s the official Contest Winner, Diane Stokes! She’s @DSinAZ on Twitter, and she’s already splashed her new face all over the place, awesome!

And then, the wonderful Bridget Pilloud (@intuitivebridge on Twitter) decided to buy a cartoon of herself, which was awesome. I had great fun designing her Chakralicious fireball, not to mention giving her designer knockoff boots.

I’m working on a third one for another paying customer (yay!), plus I got to do a great custom Moleskine of Anais Nin for Holly (@copygeniusgirl), as well as an elephantalicious custom journal for her. Sharpie Marker ftw.

Actually, it’s two contests in one. I’m promoting both Not Dead Yet Studios and its sister site, Antemortem Arts, so I’m giving away a prize from each site.

The Prizes:

• Be a Cartoon! Get yourself made into a nifty cartoon character, for use in web or print, however you want to do it. Since it’s a giveaway, I’ll even send you the original free! A $45 value.
• Tiny Painting! Brighten up a corner of your world with a teeny little painting on its very own wooden easel, of nearly anything your heart desires. A $60 value.

The Rules:

• Comment here to enter, and include a valid email address so I can contact you if you win!
• Let me know in your comment whether you want the Cartoon, the Painting, or Either. It will be two separate drawings, with two different winners.
• Random numbers will decide, probably using polyhedral dice for maximum geekiness.
• Drawing will take place at the end of the day on Friday 1/8/2010. Unless I forget, and then it’ll be Saturday.
• Winners will be notified and, once they’ve accepted, posted here so you all know who got lucky.
• Prizes are good for 6 months, though of course I’m hoping you’ll be so excited you’ll want to get started right away!

Got any questions? The comments are good for that, too, or you can email me privately.

Good luck!

Entries are now CLOSED! Winners announced soon.
