irishmile Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Probably but im not redoing it Here it is in a background
Fealiks Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Guybrush from Monkey Island2 in the Special edition style That looks great! Now Parabolee has competition for his... I think he's meant to have a proper (albeit thin) beard based on the cover art and that close-up on Phatt Island. The mock-up above looks spot-on to me, based on the aforementioned close-up. For the life of me I can't remember the close-up on Phatt Island... does anyone have a link to it? I'm probably gonna replay it anyway soon though Maybe I'll redo him in CMI style. DO IT
parabolee Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 That looks great! Now Parabolee has competition for his... Lol, yeah, too busy to finish mine (still at work at 7pm) but here is my early work in progress (as posted in the other thread). Only about 20 mins on this. I think my beard and face is better, but my coat needs some work.
Lagomorph01 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I don't hope they'll use this style in the MI2:SE I don't think it fits the game. I don't know what to us as a resemblance for like, they should do him like that, except for maybe the cover art...
irishmile Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I don't think we are in competition... Its all just fun.. I draw and paint for fun.. except when some one pays me to... but most of the time thats fun too.....(as long as the check clears.....) Any way I quickly worked on another one... the one on the left is a little less SE and more like the one from the old MI2 game...
Guy.brush Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 This is a drawing by Steve Purcell and shows more details for how the coat might look on a high-res Guybrush.
irishmile Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Interesting... I think the purists would burst a blood vessel though
Monkey Mania Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 DO IT Edit: Something like this would be hell to animate. That's probably why they got rid of his coat and beard in CMI.
Monkey Mania Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I'd rather this, personally, than the current style for the SEs.
Tower Five Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I'd rather this, personally, than the current style for the SEs. I love the idea that Guybrush bought a coat two sizes too big, thinking he'd grow into it as he becomes an even richer, more famous faux-pirate. He's still a gangly, lanky teenager with an underwhelming beard who now thinks he's a man.
Laserschwert Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 This is a drawing by Steve Purcell and shows more details for how the coat might look on a high-res Guybrush. By the way, that activity page was done for MI1... so the coat there is NOT the design used for MI2 ;-)
Longcat Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Oh, sweet, a highres version of that cutout would surely be fantastic laserschwert;)
Laserschwert Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 Here's PDF-download of that Adventurer-issue. And I think the sprite fits better into the background without an outline:
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I had no idea that the Adventurer was archived somewhere... Woo! I've never read it before!
Laserschwert Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 They only have a few issues, but I think there's a forum request going on over there for people to send in any spare issues (or scans). I'll scan mine if I find time.
SyntheticGerbil Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Haha, when and why did the Adventurer stop being on a huge newspaper? I' think I have only ever seen the newspaper one with your avatar on the cover, Mr. Laserschwert, that came with a friend's boxed release of SMI on CD. I don't think any of my LucasArts games came with an Adventurer besides Afterlife and Monkey Island 2, unless my dad threw them away. He tends to do that. I know for sure my boxed Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, and Curse of Monkey Island all did not have issues of the Adventurer inside even though I know it was still running at that point, like the Sam and Max CMI tie in for instance was on the web in that period.
gos Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 if they make MI2 like curse of monkey island it world be: wow
irishmile Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I love MI3 but I think they should stay true to the original designs of MI2 if they remake MI2
Scapetti Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I love MI3 but I think they should stay true to the original designs of MI2 if they remake MI2 You would hope so but they didn't strictly stay true to the original designs of SMI. I wonder if Guybrush will have a totally new haircut for the MI2 Special Edition o.O
