I must say that the current Guybrush is BY FAR the best design yet. I really love it. The first 2 lacked detail to tell if his face was good or bad naturally; but the realistic cutscene-style did not go well with the cartoonish humor. Curse had a nice design, but it was also a more boyish Guybrush. Years have gone by, and Guybrush seems older now ( the voice acting supports that), and I think the design is spot-on.
So I´d only change the clothes, just because that is a tradition in the series, and because it looks less like cheap recycling of old assets for a new season.^^
Btw, here´s my favourite shot of Guybrush, I use it as wallpaper. :P
Great to have the same guybrush wit ha few tweaks - clothes, maybe the hair, got to look like the same guy guy a bit older (like "real" people change their image).
I love the beard. I don't think he should ever shave it. In fact, he's getting older, so he could slowly grow a full beard, little by little every season.
I like the idea of changeable costumes. Maybe there could be a wardrobe inside his ship, so the player can change Guybrush's outfit anytime he wants. The red coat from MI4, the classic coatless look from MI1 and MI3 and maybe some bright yellow ala Rotthingham? And hats...
Actually, Guybrush switched clothes every chapter during Escape From Monkey Island. I really liked that.
Me too. I liked how it felt appropriate to where he was in the game--fancy outfit on Melee when he's being the first husband, more casual clothes when he's sailed to Lucre, fancy outfit with no boots when unexpectedly marooned on Monkey Island...
Same model, new clothes. It'd be nice to keep the tradition. *nodnod*
I liked the idea of the picture Irishmile posted a little ways up. Looks pretty good, though I think I'd like to see something entirely new. That outfit looks a little... young, for him? *shrug*
I myself would quite like the game with a whole new and updated engine...but I imagine that's asking too much.
I quite happy with his current look. The ears are a little large, but I can live with that anyway.
That reminds me, somehow I just can't imagine Guybrush sitting down and getting those piercings. It just seems out of character somehow.
Also, it's been a while since I played and I can't really find a decent screenshot of his ear, so I can't really tell, did his one earring from Curse disappear in Escape?
I wasn't really talking about how tough he is, just that if I try and imagine Dominic Armato's voice saying "I think I'm gonna go get another ear piercing," something doesn't quite fit.

I think it might be like Link in Ocarina of Time. He goes into the temple as a child and is frozen in time for seven years. When he comes out seven years later he magically has an ear ring. The only thing I can think that happened is that the Sage got drunk one night and decided to mess with him

Link: How did my clothes get changed?
Rauru: Oh...uh...I did that.
Link: ...while I was asleep?
Rauru: Uh...yeah...Couldn't leave you in those ones that were too small...heh heh...
Link: Okay...So what's with the tights?
Rauru: I...uhh...I like tights...
Link: -backs away slowly-
...I am so using that in my OoT sprite comic, assuming I ever get far enough...

Before the other Sages are awakened, Rauru is basically just standing around alone with a Link in a room for seven years. It's hard to imagine that everything that happened during those seven years was above board :S

I'm with you on that. Guybrush is mentally pretty tough, but I bet he'd get one ear-piercing, squeal like a girl, and then brag about it for another five months.
I agree, the only reason I could see GT purposely getting piercings is because it makes him look more piratey.... But it was probably actually a cooking accident and he just plugged the holes with earrings.
I'll be happy with any look as long as we get another season.
Given the choice though I'd prefer same model with new clothes.
Its surprising how much his look has grown on me from my initial dislike.
He has such cute expressive eyes.:D
I'd like the same model with some slight modifications. Maybe higher quality textures. Slight redesign of the jacket or something. Nothing as drastic as "all new clothes" but not exactly the same either.
Whatever his look will be, I really hope TellTale won't attach his hand back to him and he'll keep the hook. Too bad for his left nosdril, yeah, but... the hook.
The Treasure Hunt thread comes to mind, as someone pointed out that the treasure you dig up could be unlock-able items like hooks, hats, parrots, etc. that you would then wear or carry in the game.
Heh, I just thought about it, but how about an art contest revolving around designing a costume for Guybrush? And the best entries get to be in the game?
Or at the very least maybe TTG could put out a few official designs and the fans could vote on the one they like, its always great when the fans can get in on that sort of thing.

He should look a little bit different in each game/season I think.
Yeah, that was one of the few things that was a decent idea.
Lose two of the earrings and we are in business, sir!
Imagine if he were around today. He could look like a member of ZZ Top and still get carded.
...Someone make that photo right now...
