PurpleFox213 has a small contest for five slots of free, traditional, single-character arts right on over here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5061847/

Nice and easy to enter. Simply make sure you're watching the artist, grab a reference sheet of whatever single character you'd like drawn, and make a journal advertising them and their contest. Comment with the link to your advertisement and the reference and you're solid. It ends at 12 PM October 16, so hurry on up!
