Well, since I've been trying to get OC art lately, I figure it might be easier to make a journal entry for them to have artists refer to. I'll add more references as I get them. Check the name of each pic to find out who drew it... I make sure to give credit where it's due! The current pictures are done by Prince Kiyoshi Okiura, Whitewing18, xxSpace Facexx, Victorians, Yuumi Tomizawa, Hieilover69, Kaelel, Arum Bell, LadySabreal, Tawnyblood, RainbowArchCielo, Blue-Owl, Unumei, Saviors_Tragedy, Crazypieloverangel, Vxepher, NaomiStillmen, Aeki, and Rada Han. The above banner is made up of images from Prince Kiyoshi Okiura, the gimp stuff is due to my extremely basic skills.
There are six characters I would like to be drawn: Sama, Encontra, Les, Sgain, Monk, and Slayer. (These are their codenames, long story.) They are all comrades-in-arms in a war against the rogue supernatural community. The descriptions are quite wordy, but hopefully that helps! Here they are:
Sama: Sama is a damphir. She appears to be in her mid-twenties. Since she’s part vampire, she is quite pale. Her eyes should be a deep blue, perhaps with a red glint if she’s angry. She has straight white hair that falls around her waist. She is a petite woman so is a bit short. Her boobs are on the medium side. She wears a midnight blue corset laced with black ribbon and accented around the low cut neckline with delicate black lace. (A bit of cleavage might be showing…) She wears long black pants, heeled black boots, and elbow-length (or longer) black gloves. Her only jewelry is a silver cross necklace. If her mouth is open, you should be able to see her fangs.
Props and personality: If you want to draw her with a weapon, a staff or pair of sai is a good choice. Personality-wise, she is mysterious and a bit aloof, but also mischievous. When fighting, she is quite serious and deadly.

Encontra: Encontra is a tall and busty human assassin. She is 26 years old and caucasian, so has an average skin tone. She has dark brown eyes and dark brown hair that she wears tied up in a high ponytail. She also has a small scar on her left cheek, but you normally can’t see it because she wears a black ninja-style facemask that hides everything but her eyes. (You do not have to include the facemask if you don’t want to, she normally only wears it when fighting.) She wears a sleeveless black top that wraps across the front and ties in the back with a loose bow, as if a kimono. She wears long black pants, black boots, and fingerless black gloves that reach her elbows and have metal plates on the backs of her hands. If you can see her right shoulder, she has a small black tattoo of the Japanese character “hi” (fire).
Props and personality: She could be drawn wearing headphones and some type of mp3 player, or with a spear or glaive, or with matches, a lighter, or fire. Personality-wise, Encontra is strong-willed and opinionated and doesn’t give a damn about what anyone thinks about it. She at times can be silly and sexy.

Les: Les is Encontra’s cousin and has a similar skin tone. She is also a human assassin and is 24 years old. She is a medium height and build. Her boobs are on the medium side. She has dark blonde (almost brown) hair that she wears straight to her shoulders and hazel eyes. She wears the same facemask as Encontra, but again you can draw her without it. She wears it more often than not, though. She wears a long-sleeved white kimono like top that wraps across the front and ties in the back with a loose bow. Under the top is a long form-fitting black dress with slits in the skirt all the way up her thighs that might reveal leg holsters for her throwing knives. She wears black tabi (Japanese split-toed socks) that reach past her knees, black straw sandals that lace around her ankles, and short black fingerless gloves.
Props and personality: She can be drawn with throwing knives of all types. Personality-wise, Les is silent and serious. She is constantly on alert and prepared for anything.

Sgain: Sgain is a damphir and appears to be in his late twenties. He is quite pale and very tall. He has a slender build, but is lightly muscled. His hair is a very deep red that he wears in a braid down his back, and his eyes are a deep green. He wears a dark green button-down shirt that’s close to the color of his eyes. The shirt has long sleeves and is slightly loose and is worn with the collar and the top few buttons left undone. The collar should be turned down. The shirt should be worn tucked into his pants. He wears black casual slacks and a black belt with holsters for his weapons. Over the shirt he wears a black vest that buttons up the front. The vest should be buttoned up, unlike the shirt, but should not cover the shirt completely. His wears black boots, but the pants mostly cover them. He also has black gloves and a black tie but very seldom wears them. If his mouth is open, you should be able to see his fangs.
Props and personality: He keeps a silver chain with an engraved cross tucked into his pants’ pocket, but he may be drawn holding it. A hand axe, knife, or pistol would be a good weapon to draw him with. Personality-wise, Sgain is more lighthearted than the others. He is fun-loving and generally pleasant, but serious when duty calls.

Monk: Monk is a werewolf and appears to be in his mid-twenties. He is a medium height and is lightly muscular, but thin. He has very dark brown (almost black) hair that he wears in a low, loose tail at the nape of his neck. His eyes are a golden color and he has a medium caucasian skin tone. He has sharp canines, but they are not fangs like what a vampire would have and he only shows them when angry. He wears a loose white button down shirt. The shirt is long sleeved. The collar is not buttoned, and perhaps not the top one, but the others are buttoned. The shirt is left untucked and the collar should be turned down. (Do not pop it up!) His pants are black and a little loose. He wears black military-style boots. The pants can either cover the boots or can be tucked into the boots (the boots are about ankle-height). It’s your choice for that. He also wears a black knee-length trenchcoat. It should be left open, and there may be a few belts or buckles around the arms. He also wears short black fingerless gloves.
Props and personality: He could be drawn with swords or knives. Personality-wise, he is innocently perverted. He is serious when the time comes for it, but otherwise is happy and friendly.

Slayer: Slayer is a thin human demon slayer. She and Sama are around the same height and are shorter than the others. Her boobs are bigger than Sama and Les’s, but not as big as Encontra’s. She is 23 years old. She has light red wavy hair that falls past her shoulder blades. She does not have bangs. As a redhead, she is a bit pale and may have freckles. Her eyes are a medium gray color. She wears a tight long-sleeved gray top with a low square neckline that reveals her collarbone (and perhaps a little cleavage) and buttons all the way up the front. She wears a short loose black skirt and knee-length black heeled boots. She also wears short black gloves, a black neck ribbon, and a number of small silver rings in each earlobe.
Props and personality: If you draw her with a weapon, a rapier, stilettos, or whip would be a good choice. Personality-wise, she is gentle and graceful. She can be a little flirty at times.

Please feel free to ask me any questions that you have about anything. It'll help me to make my descriptions better! I'll close the entry with my group pics, which are large so I decided to stop being lazy and just link them:

(Unfortunately resized by Photobucket, which is lame. The actual pic is much larger and you can see the detail the artist put into it much better.)

(This artist not only gave me individual pictures of each character, but also a group shot!)

(Again, Photobucket is resizing things. I just wanna put it out there because the artists are awesome for giving me such large pics and stuff!)
And some small group pictures:
