    Turns out there are some good answers in there:

     

     

     

    I wish the script had been:

     

    Guybrush: Would you consider my first-born child in exchange?

    CUT TO:

    Boybrush: What?!

    Guybrush: It's just a figure of speech.

    CUT BACK:

    Locke: I hope you're not serious.

    Guybrush: Yes. Yes, I am.

    The winner is no surprise. The only thing that matches Steve Purcell's cover art for LeChuck's Revenge ... is Steve Purcell's back cover art for LeChuck's Revenge.

     

    Even though it's painted in oils to my knowledge, Purcell uses his perfected acrylic technique, building up color in washy layers. It was a truly daring concept to put the villain front and center. It's all about the eerie atmosphere for me. The only humorous element here is the dead bird on LeChuck's hat, and even that bird seems to be frozen in its last horrific seizures of agony. Also, I don't know if Purcell ever drew another monkey without a hat, pipe, eyepatch or at the very least a scimitar. The lighting is impressive, the composition is impressive, from the knowledgeable use of repoussoir to the usage of negative space (see how Guybrush is framed by the mast to the left and LeChuck's jacket to the right?).

     

    It's a brilliant cover. So sinister. I had it as a postcard next to my Amiga growing up.

    I thought the game was broken again, so I didn’t really put my back into it

    (still eliminating all letters by adding Mahjong, fuzzbox and vodka into the mix. )

     

    Still could have been "QWQ" because... well, it's been more random things! :)

    Very very nice. I took a look at the images and they're 99.9% amazing from what I can see. There's even some .mkv files so it looks like the animated sections have been upscaled, too. A huge amount of work! Can't wait to see it in action.

     

    There's a few minor niggles that an eagle-eyed fan like myself would spot, but otherwise this genuinely looks really exciting! Kudos to the mysterious Hexgon Codes!

    This could be great fun. Maybe he could dig Dan Malone up? Would LOVE to see him lead a pixel art project again!

     

    Edit: For those interested. Dan Malone did a lot of the Bitmap Bros old games, like Speedball II and Chaos Engine. This would be a move away from those aesthetics, but I'm sure he would smash it.

    His online portfolio really doesn't capture the magic of his work, sadly. What a shame.
