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.

3:29 PM Canada EST

UPDATE! The survey is now closed.
