Okay, here it is: Sledgehammer Elephant! I did this on 18" x 24" paper, with pen and ink and crayons.

Aw man, that's a cool Elephant. Reminds me of a 1970's Marvel Magazine cover like Savage Sword of Conan or Hulk or one of their horror books. Sweet!

Cool Tortle! I like the way his legs and arms look! He looks like he could get in a fight with Dhalsim from Street Fighter, and totally win. 
Awesome job! 
And Kevin, I stated earlier that I was only going to enter the Crab in this round, so that should help with your vote!

Thanks for the compliments, guys! I'm glad you all like it!
Yeah, I'm constantly looking for ways to speed up the artistic process. Crayons are a quick way to add color to a picture. I colored this thing in about an hour and a half, and for an 18" x 24" piece of art, that's pretty quick. They're also very clean. No smudging, messy paint, nothing.
On the down side, the shading and texture effects you can effectively realize with crayons are pretty limited. And they're difficult to smooth out.
In a different context, this would be an interesting statement indeed. 
Well, for two reasons: First, I think three fingers are a bit more inhuman than 5, and I can imagine that a freakish elephant-man wearing robo armor would have weird, inhuman hands. Second, the figure has three toes, so it's reasonable to assume he would have three fingers, too.
Anyway, thanks again for all the compliments!

OOOOH! Nice entries guys. 
I really like your Octopus Scummy. He actually feels like an octupus should.
I also like you Bunny Eric. His boots are killer. Looks like he could have been in a classic issue of TMNT.

Dag! These entries rock! Scumdogg, I love the details of the suit and the great colors! I also like how you kept with the structure of an octopus rather than making him humanoid.
And I dig your robo-bunny, Eric! I like how you made him look like a real bunny, with bunnyesque proportions. It reminds me of the illustrations from the original Songs of the South and Alice in Wonderland books (not the Disney versions, of course).
Great work, guys!
