1st Place:

I really like this design. It is simple yet complete. I like the fur and the breed. I like the color accents, but I think I'll use more of a green color. However, I will change the name, if that's alright with you, and tweak the personality a little.

http://i48.tinypic.com/1z3nmle.jpg I like that its a bear and the music notes on it. I like the color scheme, but the design is a scattered. I'm not really a fan of the accessories. If I use it the design, I would probably use it with out the accessories.
3rd Place:

I really like the contrast between the natural and unnatural colors. However, I do not like that it is not your line art and I'm not sure how much it really represents me.
