Re: Art contest: win some BTC, shape the visual future of Bitcoin gaming.
I can make something similar in quality to Greyhawk's work if you're interested 
Why oh why didn't I see that one coming.
Let's do it like this: now that the "there is money" point has been proven, people get busy on proving the other two points left ("there is talent" and "can follow instructions"). Trifecta!
Is it bad that I've been laughing at this whole thread? 
Seriously though, no artist worth the money is going to go out of there way to make you an extremely nice and detailed drawing for only the 'chance' to win some money what was ever wrong with asking for a portfolio and then picking someone based on that work like you do with any other art based job?

Except they do. That's what the better coders do, and whenever some coder wants to be hired on a salary the first point in anyone's mind is "so he doesn't think he's good enough to start-up".
Really, it's 2013, time to split the artists from the wanna-bes.
If you have not figured it out yet, he is asking for a portfolio of 1 sample. People who have talent will be hired for more projects down the line.
In case he hasn't figured it out yet, anyone can be a dog on the internet, complete with a portfolio of art "they" made. People who actually hire know this, people who never get hired apparently have no idea.
Does it suck? Most certainly.
Is it better than anything else posted yet? Absolutely.

Does it sink in slower than obsidian in honey? Definitely.
