Thrik Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I was inspired by the actions of various people in this forum to draw this (I won't say who). It's basically supposed to be the typical image of a Monkey Island fanboy, complete with Guybrush Threepwood mask Guybrush-style hair. You can partly see the spot-ridden teenager beneath.

Tahnee Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Heh, man, that boy's got an acne problem... *giggles* It's cute...in a "wow, what a sad, sad fanboy" sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 Heh, I just did a Grim Fandango version. Next up: Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryback Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 But wait! He's wearing a Guybrush mask. No way would a true Monkey Island fanboy even remotely associate himself with the Heap of Drivel that was EMI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahnee Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Star Wars fanboys scare me. I know some of them. And Ryback, what about true MI fangirls? ...Then again, I associate myself with EMI, so I guess that doesn't make me a fangirl. Whew. Safe.

Thrik Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 What has a Guybrush mask got to do with EMI? It represents the entire series. And yes, EMI sucked. Thanks for reminding everybody yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryback Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Originally posted by TyraaRane And Ryback, what about true MI fangirls?

Thrik Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 Erm, it's not based on that in any way at all. Sorry to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if we were really unlucky, they'd write grammatically incorrect Mary Sue fics, wherein a stranger to the Caribbean solves problems that would give even Guybrush pause and returns LeChuck to his natural human state, then gives him a big hug which instantly reforms him. Oh, the horror I tell you...the horror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 This thread is creepy. *shivers* The pimply boy, then the boy in black, then the idea of a reformed LeChuck. If anyone needs me, I've gone for psychiatric therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrik Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 Then learn them. <advice> One thing I've noticed about wannabe artists is that they aren't prepared to put much time into learning it. You cannot become an artist overnight, it takes months and possibly even years of practice. I'm still a novice in comparison with people such as Dan Lee, but I draw constantly to improve myself. The trick is to just keep on drawing and trying new ideas. </advice> And x311, this was drawn first in Flash (to get the smooth lines so I don't have to spend ages smoothing them off in Photoshop) and then coloured in Photoshop. Usually I apply shading and stuff with Photoshop too, but these were quickies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Yea, I do like the smooth lines of flash, I find it hard to do that in photoshop (although if I get a wacom in the next few weeks, then it should be a tad easier). Personally, I'm more used to doing landscapes. I'm planning a comic so that may be hard, but I've already started planning it, so it shouldn't be too bad. Good work Thrik, keep at it and you'll be great (maybe show us some of your other stuff?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
