I have found FIVE (
) ARTISTS 
on DeviantArt 
but I can only pay to commission one 
THE ARTIST WITH THE MOST VOTES WILL MAKE THE NEXT HIGH-EFFORT MARSEY CAT GIRL ILLUSTRATION 
- 102
- 110
ARTIST 1: KAPO12
Pros
- Korean
- Fledgling artist, so not only would she be eager, but we could help jumpstart her career
- Limited posts show decent but consistent art quality
Cons
- Hasn't actually stated whether she'd accept commissions or not
- Fledgling artist, so she might lack the skill to do Marsey OC
- Only 3 posts
ARTIST 2: Yunann
Pros
- Good at drawing developed adolescents - perfect for Marsey
- Large portfolio
- Only 500 watchers so she's up and coming
Cons
- Westerner
- Art seems to vary in quality
ARTIST 3: Eloru
Pros
- Large portfolio
- Consistent quality
- Exceptional in details and embellishment
Cons
- Westerner
- All of this chick's faces have the same overly neotenous features that look more childlike than adolescent
ARTIST 4: NNEMUINEKO
Pros
- She from Thailand!
- Consistent quality
- Alternate art style from others - soft like Marsey's heart
Cons
- They/Them pronouns probably a ladyboy
(wait is this a con?) - Seems keen on using chromatic aberration
- Art is good but not great, nothing that eyecatching
ARTIST 5: ShimayaEiko
Pros
- Massive portfolio, Marsey would be in safe and experienced hands
- Consistent quality
- Art quality is exceptional across the board, is capable of doing multiple styles
- Latvian
Cons
- 5 thousand watchers holy shit
- Probably has a ton of other commissions already in queue
- Was once a brony
TIME TO VOTE - I HAVE $300 USD TO SPEND AND NOT A DOLLAR MORE
UPDATE: Artist 1 flaked, Artist 2 responded and is underway!
One month ago I wanted to commission an artist to draw Marsey the Cat. Initially, I sought to enlist our very own talented @Dramarama, however due to concerns over maintaining privacy in exchanging real money (not dramacoin), I had to look elsewhere. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go with the first choice artist voted upon by you guys because they never even replied to my emails. However, the artist that did answer the call - Yunann on DeviantArt - did such a wonderful job that I think we were blessed to have ended up with her.

The fact that she's carrying a normal cat raises way too many questions. Nevertheless, this is great
