I'm aiming to use typography, so I'm using both regular Soldier 76 (shown) next to the LVL 99 Soldier 76 (not shown).

Isn't it Ratchet from "Ratchet and Clank" actually?

My all time favorite game character, I recognized him immediately, great job, cant wait to see the final result.

Crash was one of my first ideas to make but you did an excellent Job, well done. He looks badass!!!

I sincerely hope this is well received, but I chose to level up Larry Mittenhands of Karryon, from Jazza's own work. Although it's movies were short lived, there are quite a lot of posts regarding the game, as well as some fanart, so I feel it qualifies as a "well known pop culture character"

The idea I am going for is based on a few things:
- The armor that.... everyone but the foreigners wore
- Him demonstrating unnatural strength against the messenger
- The fact that Larry seemed to compensate his stature with agility, speed, stamina and precision
- The multi-weapon idea played through in Larry and the Gnomes (yes, that is the LEGENDARY AXE he's wielding ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvT-f-sHB_4&t=511s ))
-"Since we can't buy you a decent pair of testicals...." ~Kikket

With that in mind, the task would be to guess HOW Larry would reach Level 99, and three things popped up:
- He must have vanquished the league of SCHME including the Advisor AND the dark mage.
- Although his abilities are quite amazing when it comes to strength, agility, and precision, his personality seems quite a bit more brutish.
- He would be hard pressed to beat magic without at least an ounce of magical abilities, so most likely he knows some powerful spells to assist his fighting style.

So I decided to tone him up in the style that Jazza used back then to make muscular guys, added some magic eyes (black cause he normally has white eyes and I thought it would be a good contrast) and implemented some mid class armor to give him all the bruteness of heavy class armor without the limitation to his agility.
Next was the beard. And since "Epic warrior + Beard = Viking", I felt it fitting to grow out his hair and then style it in a more Viking approach. Earlier versions included him having just longer hair to match his dad, but felt it was more of Lvl 15 ish. I am guessing that Level 99 might be about 30 years old since he is 19 when he started.

What I am working on now is Pup, since he would level up too and I am adding a Battle Cat style armor and toying with the idea that, since the dark mage is dead, Pup is wearing the horned skull there.... All ironically placed now since Pup is (e)motionless when sober...

As for the final positioning and placement, I am torn by a few ideas. Mounted heads or using the goblin king's head as a chair might seem a little too gratuitous for a PG 13, and I wanted to encapsulate more of a "party with the village after the fact" kind of feel since, he can't really move up, but I'm finding it hard to capture that really (Also toying with the idea that at level 99, Pup might be slightly more lively and be depicted chewing on what's left of Kikket's staff...)

UNRELATED QUESTION: Does anyone know if an animated GIF will be accepted? It's kind of how the game ads that Jazza mentioned are created....

To everyone who's posted art so far (since I do have the will to go to each of you, but not the time for all 10 pages)

Amazing work artists! Good luck!
