Anime Divas Survey Needs a Round 3

After checking the results in the Anime Divas round 2 I was running until Tuesday, I now confirm that Angewomon (from Digimon Adventure), Hikari (from Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl), Zakuro Fujiwara/Mew Zakuro (from Tokyo Mew Mew), and Lacus Clyne (from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED) will be included in the "Anime Divas" 18-skecth card series, which is intended for art gallery showing at Otakuthon 2012 as well as to be sold as a set during the event itself (this will be on art gallery sale at a first-come, first-served basis. However, due to a tie in one of the sections the round 2 survey, I am now left with one out of installments of the sketch card series to decide for.

So today, I post up a round 3 survey, where you, the voluntary survey participants, vote on which anime gal candidate you think I should include for the last installment. The battle is Bulma (from Dragon Ball) Vs. Merle (from Vision of Escaflowne) Vs. Chun-Li (from Street Fighter II: The Movie). This survey will be up until July 1 as I want to finish up the whole series before submitting it to the Otakuthon website for approval no later than July 22.

Update!The Anime Divas Round 3 survey is now closed.

The Results for Anime Divas Survey So Far

Today, I post an update about the survey on which anime gals should be in the next 8 card installments of my 18-sketch card "Anime Divas" series, which is intended not only for art gallery showing at Otakuthon 2012, but also to be sold during the ...

Please Choose Up to 8 Candidates For staranold To Draw Next for Anime Divas

As some of you already know, I'm currently working on a series of sketch cards called "Anime Divas", intended for art gallery showing at Otakuthon 2012 (scheduled to take place during Aug. 3-5.). My plan is to feature throughout this series of sketch cards, a mix of oldschool anime beauties and newschool anime ones. So far, I drew the following for this series:

Miyuki Takara (Lucky Star)
Tsuruya (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
Maetel (Cosmowarrior Zero)
Lina Inverse (Slayers)
Yoko Littner (Gurren Lagann)
Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex)
Mari Illustrious Makinami (Rebuild of Evangelion)
Black Magician Girl (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters)
Honey Kisaragi/Cutey Honey (Cutey Honey)
Sasha Kodai/Mio Sanada (Be Forever Yamato)

Anyway, my plan is to do up to 18 skecth cards for this series, including the 10 I already did, but although I am sticking to the plan of both featuring oldschool anime bishoujo and newschool anime bishoujo (which is a good idea for the sake of drawing anime history from past to recent), I'm having trouble deciding on which pretty gals will be best for me to draw for the next 8 cards, and like my "Anime Icons 2" drawings, I plan to have the installments in this sketch card series sold also at Otakuthon 2012.

Click on this survey to please choose up to 8 candidates you think I should include in "Anime Divas" in addition to the ones I already drew (but note that the survey is set to be closed on June 1). I will really appreciate the help.

UPDATE! The survey is now closed.
