Could anyone give some feedback on my Guybrush? I'd like to know what to improve on. I posted two pages back =]
Its nice... if you want to know how to improve on it? I hate critiquing peoples stuff because im not exactly a pro but maybe be more mindful when you use photoshop filters for highlights and shadows.... By all means use them if they work but do not be afraid to get in there and do a little painting and touch-up....
Helped at all?
BTW
I changed Elaine to match her MI2 outfit a little more closely.. but not exactly.
Thanks! I don't really have the proper Photoshop for good image editing so that was pretty much all I could do, but hopefully I can get a better version to improve my graphics. I was never too good with shading anyways.
Thanks again!
By the way you are a phenominal artist!
He has beard, but he doesn't have much, as evidenced by some of the dialogue.
I think the drawing's fine, except for the face. He looks too... tough to be Guybrush.
I think it looks great pilouuuu! I think his beard is great! I don't really see what people are complaining about. It's great if you compare it to the cover art by Steve Purcell. But I guess everyone has their own vision of what he should look like
And I don't think he does look too tough at all. I always thought he should look a little tougher than that from the lines he comes up with in Monkey Island 2. I mean yeah he gets hung upside down and stuff but usually he tries to put on a tough face so as to be a mighty pirate
Nah it looks nothing like Purcel's cover art, But what it does look like is Purcel's extra material art... like the dress a pirate stuff.. Its cool in my book dude.....
Its impossible to look like "THE" Guybrush because there is no such thing.
It's not great I know but I made this in 2005. I'm sure I could do a heck of a lot better now... in fact, I think I'll try this week and upload the results later!
like ravey told u, first press and then insert the direct link to picture from imageshack
Thanks man, I got it now. I was just being a dope and copying the wrong link. I feel like such an old git sometimes (even though I'm only 26)... back in my day, we was using compooters made o' wood an' powered by steam. Ye whipper snappers don't know ya born!
That's pretty damn cool but why is his ring on his right hand?
Well, because he's the mirror image of his former-self of course and left handed people are more often more prone to aggression then right handed people (apparently this is actually true)!

Duh, it's because I messed up.
I was playing with the thought to horizontally invert the picture, which would have set things right - however, I would have had to invert the signature twice, so I dropped the thought.
Can't compete with most of the stuff posted here, but I still think it's a cute image.
Keep in mind it was made by somebody who positively, absolutely can not draw and just decided to spend 2 hours in PaintShopPro and try his best.
I made this image to get a better understanding about how the MI2 Guybrush could be turned into hires. You'll notice the heavy shadows around the eyes: That's because they are there in MI2 too, and so is the beard. I originally drew this as an outline, but as it turns out it looks better with just the fill color and no outline.
PS, here's the same drawing with a thinned outline:
I think it looked nicer without the outline. Also, I like the way you did the hair. Nice one
By the way, do you have a scanner because it's much easier to draw on paper and then colour in Photoshop, it would be cool to see what you come up with.
On an unrelated note, are there any other Brits here annoyed by the fact that the spellchecker on this forum is set to Bastardised-En... sorry, I mean American-English? It's spelt 'colour', not 'color' damn it
It's both. But is there even a spellchecker on this forum? I get the Firefox builtin one. And since I'm neither English nor American I can spell it whichever way I prefer.
BTW, I don't have a scanner and I really don't need one since my daily work is completely paperless.
I made another one, thanks for showing the first i made Armakuni...
Oh my i'm so naughty... I should draw her properly dressed at some point, haha
Due to forum regulations and sensitive members, the drawing contains a censor bar to retain viewable for anyone, although, honestly, there's nothing there, no really... I just put the text there to be safe...
Regretably, i haven't even played a single MI game ever, although i'd love to, especially the third, i love the art style...
Yes I use a Wacom Intuos3 4 x 6-Inch Wide Format Pen Tablet.
I would love to get an Intuos4 with a bigger surface...
On Amazon right now you can get a little starter pen tablet for about $60
If you like drawing and painting with photoshop I really recommend getting a tablet... its worth the money.
The big difference between this one and the one I use is a little smaller surface (not much)... and mine is much more pressure sensitive.... I.E. press harder get darker and thicker lines.
Sadly, I don't get to work with anything handdrawn that often, so I never really got used to tablets (had one for about 6 months before I broke it). When I deal with graphics it's usually in a more technical way.
Micky, if you don't like the way I colorized it or generally don't want people to tamper with your artwork, just tell me and I'll remove it immediately.

A little something from MI2. Not finished obviously...but fun

a ship - which could use a little repair, paintbrush, swords and of course - a feather duster
Sorry but it just doesn't look like Guybrush. Try getting rid of some of that beard.
It's MI2 Guybrush. He HAS beard. Unless of course you are refering to his wimp look from Curse of Monkey Island. :-P

We all know this is going to happen!!
Eh, what?
It's not great I know but I made this in 2005. I'm sure I could do a heck of a lot better now... in fact, I think I'll try this week and upload the results later!
And the Guybrush from Steve Purcell in which I based the one I made:
EDIT: Arg, why won't this work?!

I'm glad to be right handed now!

Very very nice, indeed!

BTW picking on the way we spell color is ridiculous because the English got the word colour from the Latin word color... so it actually is COLOR
BTW, I don't have a scanner and I really don't need one since my daily work is completely paperless.
I hope I wasn't the only one who clicked the link in hopes of an uncensored coloured version
I guess you're drawing with a watcom, right?

You are pretty much the only one, yes.....
Have you considered professional help?
...:eek:
EDIT:THIS IS MICKY'S IMAGE, I MERELY COLORED IT
If so, then you better do not look at this one:

Can anyone say... Jessica Rabbit?!
