    Simply amazing.

    I love the palette they used for the original Melée Island.

    Here is another one done quickly at work yesterday. This scene for me was one of the most memorable in MI and I just loved the music playing in the background (on my Amiga)

    Reminds me of Bill Tiller's own version of this scene:

    Done. Got a little hasty at the end. Not sure how I feel about the clouds(TM)

    And for the sake of it, it's jfen005's picture, and most of the credit should really be directed to him! I just did the coloring. (The moon is stolen from Irishmile)

    As good as your intentions were, you shouldn't really edit something and then say that the credit goes to them. I mean what if people dislike your colouring? It's just not the done thing, if you know what I mean :P Good work though but Wally looks a little tanned...

    True, but I didn't want people, who don't read all posts, to think it was made all by me either.

    Whatever, changed it to "most of the credit"...

    Change it to "I just did the colouring so most of the credit..." and it's perfect :)

    @Ado:

    I just love your stuff... you've done a similar Mêlée-painting back then, and this one reminds me of it... very cool!

    Lol, I was joking dude. My only gripes are that she has no mouth and her eyes don't really suit her figure, oh and she seems to be mostly red. But OTHER than that XD It's lovely :P

    Blast, missed the deadline! I should still have the one for today posted later, however ... after I've snagged some sleep. :o

    Thanks for the kind comments, guys! I'm glad these are being enjoyed.

    And now onto ...

    Four!

    In addendum, Stan wants everyone to know that rumors of him recently acquiring a firearm -- a historically-accurate flintlock pistol, to be precise -- to hide behind his back to guard against business deals "gone wrong" are false and completely unfounded. Yuuuup.

    Also, he's wearing Sam's tie for some reason.

    Also also, it's best not to trouble yourself with how that mast is being supported from behind. I know I don't. Sort of.

    Oh wow ... that's incredible. The lighting! The colors! The buildings/architecture! *gushes* I don't think I could ever work that fast, especially since I have an aversion to drawing backgrounds. ^^; Wonderful work, Ado!

    Oh my oh my... Ado, you drawing Monkey Island fan art again has to be one of the best consequences of MI coming back from the dead. Even if the games would suck (which of course they won't), your art alone would have made it worthwile.

    Edit:

    THE PERFECT DRAMATIC COUNTERPOINT TO ALL THE KOMEDY.

    Seriously though, that's pretty much the most adorable thing I've seen all week. <3

    I almost want to know what Guybrush's reaction is related to, but it's probably best left to our dubious imaginations. ;P Cool sketch!

    Down to the wire now ...

    Three!

    Yay for the hideously-yet-conveniently-deformed banana! I'll probably redo this guy's eyes at some point, though. They're kind of freaking me out as they are now, all staring and vaguely soulless an' all. >_>

    you could have made it a banana peel with the center of the 3 being the top part of the banana

    These are my fanart pieces. They're made from fused beads or perler beads and created from the Monkey Island 2 in game sprites.

    Here's another Guybrush Threepwood

    And here's LeChuck, the zombie pirate.

    I'm making one more Guybrush and LeChuck piece right now too.

    I've also made Sam & Max, Purple Tentacle and Ben from Full Throttle.

    @Laserschwert - Pretty nice. It reminds me a lot of the Monkey Island 2 title screen. Honestly it looks like it could be a screenshot. :D
  • edited July 2009
    It looks better WITHOUT the filter
  • edited July 2009
    i like it with the paint filter

    Hey everybody, thought i'd have a go at doing my own take on our favourite mighty pirate. :D

    My fanart is made from fused plastic beads. All the pieces are made from the original Monkey Island 2 sprites. This is Zombie pirate LeChuck.

    Whoa, creativity abounds! Those bead sculptures work so well with the pixelly characters.

    I think I may be developing an unhealthy addiction to this thread...

    This thread is simultaneously causing me to want to try drawing some Monkey Island characters, and giving up because I'll never be able to draw anything close to the awesome pictures in this thread.
    So keep it up, so that I don't try anyway and embarrass myself :p
