WoW Insider Contest: Win Character Art!

My post last week about immortalizing your character with custom character art grabbed the attention of one Jay "Mig!" Mcleod. Jay's an artist who often does custom character art on eBay-- he offered me a nice sketch, but then I figured, why keep his talent for myself-- why not give it away to one of you, loyal readers?
So that's exactly what we're going to do. Thanks to my selflessness, one lucky WoW Insider reader is going to be getting hooked up with a free 8x10 pen and ink sketch (valued at $30) from Jay "Mig" Mcleod. That's his art up above, and you can check out his online gallery for more samples of his work (I've put a few more after the jump as well).
Entering is as easy as we could possibly make it. Just reply to this post with a comment sometime between now and 24 hours from now (contest ends 12:01 am Eastern on Wednesday, August 23rd), and we'll randomly choose one of the commenters below to win a custom made 8x10 pen and ink Mig! sketch of the character of your choice. Make sure to enter with a real email that you can check, because that's how we'll be contacting you. And once we contact you, we'll ask you to send a few screenshots of your character to Jay so he can know what to draw. Don't bother entering more than once-- we'll be watching, and anyone who comments more than once will be automatically disqualified. Tomorrow night, we'll randomly Need roll one of the comments (with /roll, of course-- this is WoW Insider), and we'll post the winner's custom character art when Jay's finished making it.
Good luck!
Update: Time's up, comments closed. We'll be emailing the winner, so be sure to check your inboxes, and when we get the art done, we'll post it here for all to see. And don't worry if you didn't win-- I'm sure Mig! would be more than happy to draw your character for you-- for a small fee, of course. Thanks to everyone who entered!

Thats some sweet artwork. Kinda reminds me of Samurai Jack from cartoon network.

Darn you, I just remembered how much I miss Samurai Jack. =[
That being said, I must agree that his art is pretty awesome. I'm particularly fond of the orc.

What a great idea..! and one that got me, after reading WoW Insider for a while, to make my first comment. I really enjoy what you're doing here :)

I was looking into buying a sketch recently, so this is actually really nice. If I believe in the heart of the /roll, I might just score a freebie.

I'm liking the wubly drawings but Hawk needs to know if he has to live in the US, as I live in the UK!
Or is mail in RL cross realm? :D

Pretty nice stuff there. I've often tried to draw my own WoW character, but with little success.
