Character Sheets

This might be good reading for some.
Mostly I'm linking this article because right now I am on the market for somebody willing to do such sheets in commission. I have spoken to and gotten a few commissions here and there, but while the art was good, it wasn't a real character sheet in the sense of what I needed and tried to explain, and the artists are just too swamped to really take any more commissions for a re-try. Oh well. Maybe that page will help explain it better than I can. :)
I have a number of characters I *want* to do, but I'm going to just stick with one for right now.
I'm a 3D guy, I do 3d characters, animation and textures, etc, have off and on for a few years now. I have done some stuff in the past, but none of it was really 'furry' and most of it was under an agreement which means I'm not allowed to post it because *i* didn't make it, some company with my ass on a piece of paper did. :P
ANYWAY, So, I need to get a commission, one character, bipedal, wings and tail, non-human. further details on inquiry. I don't need color or costume design, just a manbits-lacking nude. (I can make a wang without needing a map.)
Image must at least be a cleaned up sketch or an inked piece. Doesn't need to be inked like a masterpiece commission, inking just makes the lines easier to see and saves me from digitally inking it myself.
Now the kicker, I'm willing to pay 100 bucks for it. Maybe more. I might come back and get more of these done if I find what I'm looking for. If I open myself up to taking commissions, I'll probably be sending people to whomever I find first to get a sheet done before I start cranking out polygons.
But I'm going to expect the image be done to the specifications required (The article should explain the concept pretty well, if not, ask.). This requires said artist to be able to reproduce measured anatomy and consistent artistry across the image for the three positions it must be drawn in, front, side, back. I prefer mine in the usual feet apart arms out pose. I'm also going to expect the artist be able to put the work out within a month or so, not two years.
Payment works like this: 50 now when I see the first sketches, 50 when we finish getting details ironed out. Plus tips for mailing disks/paper/small children/whatever. Should be fairly easy process, I have past reference art available.
I'm NOT looking for an anatomy class bigot who can't see beyond the textbook for the lesson, I'm NOT looking for beginner artists who can't meet the criteria (but if you can, shoot me a line!). I'm looking for somebody who really knows their stuff and really wants to see how their work translates into a professionally done 3d rendering and animation.
Feel free to ask questions or offer suggestions on who I can look to for this, I'm close to giving up over here, anybody I ask has no idea WTF I'm going on about or just plain doesn't have the time or ability to get it done in any reasonable amount of time.
