"Your Character Here" Auction for the Graceland Cemetery Group Painting

Here we go! This auction is the first time I've done a YCH of any sort, but I figured rather than simply collecting participants and arranging them, I'd compose the piece and then allow the participants to chose their positions. The finished version of this image will be a highly detailed painted comic page, 5100 pixels x 6600 pixels @ 300 dpi (for reference, the full train group was 5000 x 3273). This particular group picture offering is inspired by the Dresden Files, but you do not have to be familiar with the book series to participate! In a general sense, it's just a big fantasy-themed graveyard fight scene.

Previous examples of my group paintings, from oldest to most recent:
Battlestar Furs
Chakat Picnic
Tavern Brawl
Train Group

Even the characters way far in the back wind up with high detail.
Closeups from some of the above group paintings:
