Game title art contest: 27k + items available
So me and lancer_c are working on a video game that we decided we need some epic art for, and don't wanna try drawing it ourselves. That being said, we come to you, bearing prizes, to anyone that can make some sweet spike man(working title) themed art. We are primarily looking for art to use as the background the the main menu, but good art may be used throughout the game.
Game demo so far(windows only):
http://www.box.net/shared/is9v80d9se
our subjects:
spikeman and his unicorn
spikeman and a possible antagonist
possible antagonist with a tophat
Rules:
-Original artwork only*, use the above images and any examples provided only as inspiration.
*This means no photomanipulation.
-by submitting an entry you are forfeiting all rights to the submitted artwork.
-minimum resolution 800x600
Guidelines:
-spikeman is faceless and should remain as such.
-images with spikeman and his unicorn together are preferable, but images with single subjects are not discouraged.
-no text in the images.
Examples and concept ideas:
say this image was instead spikeman on a unicorn, that would be sweet.
This is the title art for Charles Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden. The style is excellent.
Prizes Available:
Along with being credited for your art in our game, these items and credits are available to any entry we consider to be worthy of prizes. Note that we will be awarding several prizes, there will be no defined placing of prizes.

Something I'll add:
It can be stylized (and that aspect is welcomed). Rather, you don't have to make "Spikeman" armless/legless/square. Do whatever you want based on the above characters, but above all make it absurdly serious.
Some quick ugly examples to demonstrate:

Can you tell me more about Spikeman like the story in the game and things like that?
Peter1212:
That's clearly just photomanipulation, i.e. taking what we have posted, editing it a little, and posting as something different. I can do that. I want something new. No original work, no prize.
IkkiMinami:
We don't have a set story as of now. One possible story path may be that tophat guy befriends spikeman in the beginning, but he doesn't know that he's similar to him until later in the game, when tophat guy reveals he is evil. Along with that, spikeman doesn't know why he has a spike on his head, and the reason is revealed later in the game as well. The unicorn, well, we'll find a place for him.
As for gameplay, spikeman will have offensive powers that are spike themed, as well as utility powers that are centered around his cape. For example, spikeman will be able to summon spike pits out of the ground that could would damage enemies, throw spikes as a projectile attack, etc.
