cocomonk22 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I'm not sure that's likely... The Scumm Bar background is part of the dock background, isn't it? Unless you make a separate room for just this screen with new walk paths, an image for the open door, etc. And you would need Bill Tiller's permission anyway (No use or reproduction without written permission).
Spadge Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Pretty cool! The skull on the hat and the face seem a little off though. I tried a quick edit on Photoshop, hope you don't mind. EDIT: Improved face.
cocomonk22 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 The face on Monkey Mania's version resembles Lechuck more, but I like the skull on the hat in Spadge's edit.
TheJoe Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 But if we're going for pure CMI style - Spadge has the face perfect.
Monkey Mania Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 That's funny, since I traced Lechuck's face exactly from the CMI sprite. I don't know about the wrinkles since he isn't a zombie. Let me see if I can fix some things. Edit: Here we go.
Rapp Scallion Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Looks awesome! I hope you manage to finish this project. I'm just not sure if I like those...rubber band thingys in his beard, though... Why did you add them? Just curious Is it your original vision of the Ghost Pirate LeChuck? Other motivations? I think the ghost beard would have a problem reprising its role as alive and wriggling in MI2 if it's tied up like that

don_quixote Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I am loving the CMI interpretation of Melee Lookout!
Edward van Helgen Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 It would be great to see this project getting finished! It looks really awesome. I didn't like the SE's character sprites at all, so this would be a huge improvement in my opinion.

Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) besides, Lechuck has a huge beard, it would cover up his ghost rib cage if left alone. Hm, k, I didn't notice how it was tied up in the in-game sprites of the SE. Haven't completed it, so had to search up a youtube video of the end to see the closeup. And yup, it's tied up even there. It looks like it's tied up in the original as well, I just never noticed it: http://members.shaw.ca/victorwhho/Monkey%201.JPG Then the close up in the original game is actually wrong. Oh well. Keep up the good work, I won't disturb you anymore (for now ) Edit: It may be that it's like dreads or something in the original, though, as it looks pretty unkempt. Anyway, it's weird that Symbiote Studios' statue based on the SE has LeChuck with a normal beard. But that's their choice I guess. After all it fits better with almost all of LeChuck's designs. Edit2: Just watched a gameplay clip from the orginal SMI. It doesn't look like it has any rips in it after all, it just did in the screenshot I found If you want to base your sprites on the SMI:SE-sprites, that's your choice. I would've preferred it to be based on the original sprites, but do as you like

ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I second Mr. Vader's sentiments... Why? Your work looked so awesome. I'd also like to offer my services in the "aligning and editing" process so you can just focus on doing the artwork.
Laserschwert Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 That's really sad to hear, it already looked so great. And what could be the good news then?
Monkey Mania Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 I've been recruited to a top secret project. So I can't give any info about it. I feel I can express my talents better being on this new project.
Jenni Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Aww. This was something I was really looking forward to. Do you mind if I take up this project? I've almost got the lookout background done, and I'd hate to see it not go to use.
Monkey Mania Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 If you'd like to continue this project, that would be fine.

jott Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Maybe the secret project is MI2SE ....... Would be great to have actual Monkey Island fans work on the graphics.
Laserschwert Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 My guess. At least it feels like something LucasArts 3.0 would do.
Laserschwert Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 You've got your dreams crushing day today? Ah, anyway, I'll just hope for something good.
