Grand Prize Winner

Grand Prize Winner for "Best Mashup"

Silverwolf255

Beautifully painted with so many clever mash up elements! Do you get all of the mash up references in this piece? From Yooka running in Artix's armor with the Blinding Light of Destiny, to Capital B in the form of the Great Fire Dragon, Akriloth... there is a lot of attention to detail earning this piece the Grand Prize Winner for "Best Mashup."

Grand Prize Winner for "Best Big Group Shot"

Shyy_AE

Fun, light hearted, adventure-filled... Shy's group shot perfectly captures the feeling & tone of both the games. "I would play this 10/10"

Grand Prize Winner for "Above and Beyond Mashup"

 Sabstars

When we saw that someone painted a Skateboard for this contest... we immediately made the decision to add an additional Grand Prize category for best "Above and Beyond Mashup."  We want to see some pics of this board in action!

Grand Prize Winner for "Best Single Character Mashup"

_Theves

Genius! Turning the villain Capital B from Yooka Laylee into an AdventureQuest Worlds character (complete with name tag) wearing the infamously rare Alpha Pirate armor and other coveted gear... absolutely genius.

Grand Prize Winner for "Best Single Yooka-Laylee" Character

Sobrasart

Bee-utiful art work of Laylee sipping a tonic. Sobra's entry was chosen as the best single character from Yooka-Laylee.

Grand Prize Winner for "Best Single AdventureQuest Character"

Frances Jones

This one was a surprise! Ghambet, the Queen of Games was a band new character just recently added to AdventureQuest 3D. You can find her in the chess map. Frances Jones definitely made a bold move picking a less known character and then going out all on the art for it. We felt that boldness put him over the top earning the best single AdventureQuest character.

OK....

Now that was SUPPOSED to be the end of the contest.

BUT.......

The judging was pretty intense. We felt there were other entries which deserved a prize. So we created an additional prize category called...

Love this comic style. Is this was a manga, would read 10/10.

"Best Art Nouveau"

Masmesco

This beautifully composed Alphonse Mucha-like art nouveau piece features Aria the pet shop owner, Yooka, Laylee, and Twilly. Stylish and adorable!

"Best Twillylaylee"

NichArtWork

This mashup brilliantly features Capital B in the DoomKnight Sepulchure's armor and an assortment of cleverly combined characters. Kudos!

This post was great... but then....

They created a HeroMart ad for it! XD

"Best Poster with built-in HeroMart.com Advertisement"

Gunawananugrah

The poster is awesome! But we nearly fell out of our chairs when we saw it came with its own HeroMart.com ad.  The "exclusive in-game pet of Yookartix riding an armored Daimyo" takes the cake. This oozes cleverness. In case you are confused. Artix runs a merch shop called HeroMart which carries apparrel, posters, and toys-- all which include codes to unlock items in the games.

"Moglomancy Award"

Ikent_Draw

Something clearly went wrong (or super right) when this Moglomancer attempted a summon moglins... Yooka & Laylee showed up instead! great job on this smile-inducing art.

"Bats in your Belfry Award"

Vinsidian

What an unexpectedly clever mashup! These two do have a lot in common. Laylee is a purple fruit bat, and Vampire Queen Safiria is a technically a vampire bat.

 "Tonic On! Award"

Mannion_Artworks

Battle-ready Yooka, Laylee, and Artix are ready for action. The artwork and composition of this are fantastic.

"Best Animation"

Now this is what we call "Above and Beyond!" What if Yooka & Laylee were the stars of the 13 Lords of Chaos Saga?
