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.
