    The upper torso does come apart from the legs and base (for easier transportation), so I should perhaps use your suggestion as an easter egg when I redo these models at the correct proportions:

    Well, regardless of how imperfect this reproductions might be, I've followed @Ginsย suggestion, and made a revolving .gif of SOMI Guybrush statue, using the digital design files:

    It looks every bit as impressive as I imagined, and then some ๐Ÿคฉ

    I've reading a bit more on this subject. and I found this article really informative:

    https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/no-ms-dos-games-weren-t-widescreen-tips-on-correcting-aspect-ratio

    ย 

    And this particular comparison image encapsulates the issues being discussed:

    The article mentions this:

    So, how do we fix this? Well, we cannot stretch pixels like the analog monitors did. And since a pixel is the smallest graphical unit we have, you cannot "borrow" 1/5 of a nearby pixel either. What we can do is multiply an image's width by 5 and height by 6, so that every pixel becomes a 5x6 "mega-pixel", and thus proportionally 20% taller:

    ย

    ย 

    And this 5 x 6 ration is the exact same ration between width and heigh of 1 x 1 LEGO brick. So @Laserschwertis indeed right.ย  If I rebuild these statues using a simple, studs up, technique,ย  I would actually get much closer to the pixel artists intentions than I did before.

    ย 

    This is fascinating and a really enticing prospect going forward, but in a way, kinda puts me off from sharing the other sculptures I've finished, since they now very much feel like imperfect visual representations of these characters

    You can probably assume that the vast majority of Monkey Island players experienced the games on SCUMM VM with square pixels, so it should be fine :)

    ย 

    You could exhibit them through a curved lens, and make the experience even more authentic ;)

    uncanny how similar mine is to @Huz again ๐Ÿ˜‚

    How will life be without this connection? What should we do with all this now useless knowledge about Remi's deepest inner workings?

  5. Amazing! Don't feel obligated, and perhaps you've already disassembled the Guybrush, but I think it would be cool if you could get your LEGO-Guybrush to spin, similar to the reference voxel animation.

    ย 

    Maybe by some stop motion trickery or placing him on a spinning table.

    I can't wait for the next one!

    Loved chapter 7 - it moves so fast! I only really expected Shandy to get captured by the end of this chapter, never mind talk his way out of it and then do *another* turn and start shooting Navy captains! Gripping!

    ย 

    Hadn't finished the chapter yet when you posted this, but by now I have and now I can comment on this. Really liked this one. Again a chapter full of vivid descriptions, and that twist was despite the speed at which it came, well earned.

    I also love that throughout the whole thing he's still referred to as Shandy - the narrator knows what's up even if Shandy doesn't.

    ย 

    I've seen this style of hinting at the character's inner identity in other books too and it's a trope I absolutely love. It allows the writer to write outward actions, even thoughts, matching one mindset, and yet hint simply with the name, that their subconscious has a different idea. You feel brilliant when you catch it emerging.

    ย 

    In some works, there are also phases when the author uses a "fakish" name e.g. a more formal name for a character, but in one moment, the "real" name comes back and you know, boom!, a transformation happened and now things are gonna get real!

    This is an amazing journey! To be a professional LEGO builder sounds like a fantasy to most people, but you made it.

    Looking forward to these pictures ๐Ÿ˜

    Groomzilla.

    ย 

    Clearly the band was practicing for the wedding. LeChuck also wanted the yellow flowers for the wedding, so he had a grudge on poor Otis.

    ย 

    LeChuck needed Something Old, the Secret. Something New, a nemesis. Something Borrowed, the bride, and Something Blue. Turns out ghosts are blue! It was a lot of work to get these.

    ย 

    Weddings cost money too. That's why he took the second job as Sheriff.

    Which thing did he go with? LeChuck has the wedding gown in his quarters, yes, which is creepy as hell, but he again doesnโ€™t really care about Elaine as part of the plot or most of his dialog. It feels closer to MI1 and 2, where mostly he is interested in obtaining power/treasure, and smushing Guybrush.ย

    This is one of those funny things about SMI: despite the design documents talking about LeChuck's obsession with Elaine, and despite the Scumm Bar patrons saying he fell in love with her... if you listen to what LeChuck says, he talks a lot about his "plans" for the "governor", and shows little indication that he's infatuated with Elaine romantically.

    ย 

    ย 

    ย 

    Years of planning? Planning what? A wedding ceremony? I guess that's the real answer.

    ย 

    But if you tilt your head and squint, it can almost sound like LeChuck has a plan that requires him to be legally married to the Governor of Mรชlรฉe Island in general, as opposed to pining over the woman named Elaine Marley.

    ย 

    (Which is interesting when reflecting on EMI assigning voodoo significance to the gubernatorial seal(s), but we've strayed a bit beyond authors' intents.)

    Excellent observation! Indeed from the top of my head I don't remember any kind of infatuation of LeChuck's with Elaine.

    ย 

    In Secret he's mostly talking about her just the same way he talks about any other of his objectives, quite businesslike.

    ย 

    In Revenge, I'm not sure if he even mentions Elaine. He's single-mindedly driven by his revenge.

    ย 

    In Curse suddenly these three characters turn into Popeye, Bluto and Olive Oyl.

    ย 

    In Return,

    I guess Ron just went with it
