At this point we are down to revcruz and designer04 that we are trying to decide between. You are both FANTASTIC designers! Thank you both so much for your hard work. I'm going to pass both of these around the office to see what other's feedback is. If either of you have any further ideas or modifications or why it would be better to go with one over the other, please feel free to send me a message or leave me feedback here. Again, thanks to everyone for participating in this contest. I am very impressed with the work that I have seen on this site. We have a couple of different companies and will definitely be using your talent again!

I didn't realize that this was going to get this hard! There are some great designers on this board!

Check out the link below. Here are a few drawings that I found online that shows an idea of "almond eyes" - the drawn gray character with ladybug barrette (that is the half face) is the "style" of drawing that is in my mind - obviously a full face is needed and something a little "different" than this so it doesn't infringe on someone else's' drawing. I also like the eyes in the painting and in the other pencil sketch. The painting with the brown almond eyes is adorable, but if that idea was used we'd need the eyes to be 'brighter', happier.
