Love how many techniques Jeremy covered in this course!
I started by using his toy soldier and robot files as I followed along:
Closeups...
And the robot (I love how easy it is to add the stroke to make the edge wobbly!):
Close ups...
Then I got a simple vector illustration of me I'd already made It's was very flat and boring (except I love the dotty background!):
My first attempt:
2nd attempt:
I liked the hair but the white edges don't work for me.
Attempt No.3:
Alright, but a bit too subtle...
Last try:
I'm happier with this now.

Here are a few closeups:
(See what I mean about the grain on the arm?!)
Thanks for a fantastic course Marcus!
I've definitely got a lot of new techniques to try out!
