Pimp my stick... baby. (Artwork commission needed.)

[Daysoo]

tl;dr:
- I'm looking to commission an artist to design a new faceplate for my arcade stick.
- I don't want any game or character specific art.
- Template for the stick can be found here.
- I like pastel colors. Mostly pinks, blues, and purples. White is good, too.
- Designs I like: Swirls, ink blots, flowers, stars, hearts, etc.

Contact me via instant messenger. I will only choose / pay for one design.
If you are an artist, and you have a portfolio, please show me.
If you know of an artist who might be able to do what I want, please post relevant information here.

I want to commission an artist to design a new faceplate for my arcade stick.
It's a Madcatz Tournament Edition stick. There's a template freely available, too.

I'm not looking for any kind of game or character specific art.
I'm looking to have something stylish with colorful swirls, ink splats, and other such designs.
Still trying to decide on the specifics of what I want, but that's the gist of it.
If anyone knows of an artist that's handy with this kind of thing, please let me know.
If you have some ideas, please toss them up here, too.
I'd greatly appreciate it. ~<3

Protip: I like pastel colors. Mostly pinks, blues, and purples.

For any artists interested in this, I'd appreciate it if you showed me some examples of your work, or perhaps a rough concept of design ideas.
I'm only going to pick one design, and it's going to be on my stick for a long while, so I want it to be a good one. ;D

In other news, little designs I like:
Swirls, ink blots, flowers, stars, hearts... You get the picture.

Oh, and I'll only be able to pay for / use one design in the end.
I don't want to be a **** or anything, but this has to be professional quality.
If you're actually going to try and design something for me, talk to me about it.
I'm always signed in on AIM and such.
I don't want a bunch of people trying to be nice and make something for me, and then not being able to pay for something that doesn't meet my standards.
This was mostly to FIND an artist to work with, y'know?

DFEAR makes really good fight sticks in my opinion. Some of his stuff:

I hope he doesn't mind me speaking for him lol. xD But he doesn't come here much so I wasn't sure if he'd see this. You should ask him and see if he could make the template.

I'll toss him a PM.
Thanks.

Now you see several people have put in an effort and ask for nothing in return.

Now I think you should just wait and see what you get, then choose your favorite.

As with last night, my work is in progress. I'm not real good with something like this, but I wanted to give it a shot.

I'm getting some nice submissions so far in my ATL South thread.

Check it out if you're interested in "competing".
I'll probably be paying the "winner", if they're willing to accept it.
