Final submission:

My entry will be based on Skyrim, but will be given a cutesy/chubby Wind Waker/ Adventure Time look. I'm aiming to do a cross-section of a typical modular dungeon, with each floor depicting the dragonborn in various scenarios.
- Top floor - facing off against a podgy dragon, using his trademark shout
- Middle floor - hacking and slashing with a ghoul/ undead
- Lower floor - grabbing some sweet-ass treasure, including a 'big key'
Here's a concept vomit for characters/shapes
Here's the scene as it stands. Still a lot of holes to fill, and refining to do, and obviously not the final character poses/layout.

Here are the characters in SF. The polycount needs spanking down on all of them still.

And here's a quick colour paint so far, with a few WIP texture tile swatches, for a rough idea of the style I'm going for (more to come on this).

For the main scene layout, I wonder if you might be able to cut down on some of the flat space that will just be walls... maybe have one "knocked out" so that we can see more of what is going on inside from arious angles. I love the little "bones buried in the wall" vignette, so you could easily use elements like that which face the viewer to break up the space as well -- like a mini-scene hidden on the way to the main action.
Can't wait to see more!
Looking forward to seeing how this will progress
edit: I also found this. It's an image of the runes in skyrim, in case you wanna use them for textures or something.
Keep it up!
The shout wall is the very boxy looking (at the moment) thing behind the dragon. I'll add a few more props, and refine the dungeon layout, I just didn't want to stretch myself too thin too soon, so I'll see what I have time for.
The whole bones/filling in the wall-space dirt will look awesome, so that's definitely going in!
My two suggestions would be to 1.) Add in one or two of those damnable swinging scythe things (that ALWAYS get me) and 2.) Add some details or iconic symbols to the more "boring" areas (i.e maybe the classic horned helm hanging from a root sticking out of the very bottom of the rocks. You've got a lot of great interest going on everywhere else.
Can't wait to see more. Subbed.
Cheers~
I definitely want to add some booby (hehe) traps, since that's a large part of Skyrim dungeons, but not sure which ones would look best in a chunky, cutesy style.
I'm planning on dialing back rock at the bottom a bit, then adding some bats and crumbling bits of rock.
Everything is in, and has been given a decent first pass. Now I need to take another pass over the naff textures, colour balancing, tweak the character skins (animation is hard!), and close up the few gaps I've found.
Let me know if there's anything wrong. At this stage, my eyes are so tired, I'd probably never notice it myself.
Also, if anyone knows how to enable backface culling / single sided polys in Sketchfab, that would be awesome. It's gonna really screw up my floaty dialogue otherwise.
Cheers chaps!

Anyways, I think I've reduced the issue enough to not detract from the scene, and I've done another texture pass and fixed a few things.
Let me know what you think.

All submitted now, and the first post has been updated with the final Sketchfab scene.
There are around 30 textures in total, including the character maps, lotsa different sizes. They all fit within a 512x512 square, with some room left over. I'll copy the texture sheet/pics from the final subs thread in a mo..
Definitely one of my favourites!
Here are the final submission images, including all the textures:
