This work born while I was searching an idea for a Croc illustration, I couldn't imagine a composition that would satisfy me, the only thing I liked very much was Baron Dante character design.
In a second moment, when I was studying Zarok design, I decided to merge the two characters in one illustration.
With Zarok and Dante on board the theme become a reunion of PSX iconic villains, and here we come: Cortex (with UkaUka), Specter, Ripto and Gnasty Gnorc (these two play together).
For the majority of the characters I used their most recent design instead of the PSX era one.
As Dante was the inspirer of the idea, I decided that he is the best player at the table and infact he won UkaUka from Cortex.
