I love the new look. MI2 would probably be my favorite cause the character image plays a lot on to my imagination. Though overall like the CMI3 game style best.
But no one can say TMI6 Guybrush looks bad. I mean, c'mon! Look at him!
I couldn't agree with you more, I've actually made the case before that he doesn't look like the Curse version at all (which frankly creeps me out, but I won't go over that again), but instead he looks like Telltale's own rendition of the Guybrush Threepwood presented by the Lechuck's Revenge box art.
Now, look at Guybrush, he's visible left of Lechuck, he looks almost exactly the same as Telltale's version, except he's a little less cartoony looking. He's got the trademark bigger forehead/smaller hair balance that he had in the box art for the first two games (versus the smaller forehead/bigger hair), and you'll notice that on the box art of Lechuck's Revenge, he also has a goatee-ish beard, at least his face fur is most prominent on the chin. Even the hairstyles match.
This is why I was instantly pleased by the direction that TTG took, it's not everyone's Guybrush, but this is the MI 2 Guybrush, in other words, my Guybrush. I'm actually glad that I'm not alone in thinking that he shouldn't have been like the Curse one, and he isn't (see the pictures above posted by someone else for reference).
personaly like HoppyDragon's version conect the moustace and the beard and remove earrings and wow there is a great Guybrush. Maybe a bit more distance between mouth and mustache so you could easier make funny expressions, for perfection. But the Guybrush we get is a nice compromice beween the different versions.
maybe its because i started out with MI2 where guybrush had a beard.
Why did they remove it again in 3?
After he got married i would understand it, but why shave of a perfectly healthy beard for no reason.

Because no one ever decides to change their appearance...

Speculation ties his bearlessness (and somewhat more youthful look) in CMI to the ending of MI2.
I was a bit confused by the beginning of MI2 because his sprite clearly has a beard, but when he's telling the two other pirates that he's planning on embarking on a big challenge, they ask if he's trying to grow a mustache or a beard. It wasn't until the box art that it made sense, the sprite didn't convey the thinness and shabbiness of his beard attempt. One of the things I like about the new TMI Guybrush is that the goatee more directly conveys another botched beard-growing attempt.

I like each version so far... each has worked for the game it was featured in.. I do not like the hair that LA has going on but I will get used to it... I think Telltale has got a pretty good continuation of his look....
I wonder if people debate the changes Mario has gone through this wholeheartedly.
I like the look of this Guybrush reminds me a lot of the MI 2 one which was my favourite out of all of the different Guybrush's. There is a bit of the COMI one in the face.

Me too, pal. You're not alone
But we surely go against the grain, 90% people like CMI's Guybrush more.
I'll never understand WHY.

For me it's not necessarily Guybrush, but the game in its entire form. I wouldn't have minded if he was shorter and had a bit more flesh on the bones, so to speak.
Sorry, the SoMI remake has worsened my condition. I swear, a few decades from now, Guybrush will be known as Bad Hairdo Guy if Tales of Monkey Island falls out of the popular view.
I wonder if people debate the changes Mario has gone through this wholeheartedly.
Mario's in-game appearance has varied a bit, but in terms of character design, he's virtually identical to the promotional art from the original Super Mario Bros. games.

Same outfit, same shape, same face... Guybrush basically changes more between every new game, than Mario has over the course of his entire existence.

a better example would be Link from the Zelda games and yes, ppl do complain about his appearance from time and time.
this is my 1st post, and I just have to say: hate the goatee ;-)
hope someone codes a fan-patch to take it away :O
kinda like the way he looks in Curse.Thats at least "my" Guybrush. My opinion :-) Cant please everybody

Well, while I also prefer the art style in Curse the most, and always find myself drawing swirly clouds in my drawings, the goatee was Telltale's way of pleasing those fans that are so in love with the Monkey Island 2 version of the character.

Lechuck's Revenge box art (thanks, mixnmojo!).

That's the style I'd like to see a new 2D Monkey Island game in, should that ever be made.

Perhaps he caught it in lift doors.
