Alpha Equulei - A Call to Artists!

I'm looking to commission some artist(s) to help me design and create reference sheets of 7 original characters for the Alpha Centauri mod I'm working on (and perhaps some future projects).

These ref sheets need to be made with vector art, have a similar look as the show (this is especially beneficial if multiple artists take on these commissions), have completely transparent backgrounds (I'm planning to use one of the poses in each of the ref sheets as the leader portraits in the mod), and be in .png format.

Also, each and everyone of the ref sheets need to have two poses: one from a frontal angle and one from a side angle.

If you're interested in accepting one or more of these commissions, either note me here on DA or send a mail to otherworldlyarts[at]gmail.com. Payment can be discussed on a case by case basis.

* Her special talent is to inspire loyalty. Could you help me come up with a cutie mark befitting this talent?

The daughter of Queen Chrysalis, Ardor is constantly torn between ensuring the survival of the changelings and her sympathy towards ponies; and strives to create a world where changelings and ponies can live in harmony.

Note: I'd actually like to have two versions of Queen Ardor on her reference sheet: one as a young filly and one as an adult.

Filly Ardor: - Finished

* Changeling queen (like Queen Chrysalis) filly.

* Young filly (about the same age as the CMC).
