Oh well, maybe I could still be useful elsewhere.
Here's a couple of the animations I did for assignments this year in Flash. One's a lipsync with an attempt at acting and the other is just quiet animation:

And just for kicks, the one thing in my DeviantArt account I'm the most proud of:

(I've got just the one bit of MI fanart up there right now, but it's sketchy and spoilery for ep4, so I won't bother linking to it.

(I'm too lazy to do animation even though I know how)
I'm probably useless for voiceacting since I am only 15 years old, but if there's something you need, please send me a respond and I'll see what I can do.
Mainly your artwork. And anything else you'd like to tryout for.
You have a very flexible style. I like your work... Let's see what Scrawffler thinks.
Guybrush has a very immature voice. I don't mean this in a rude way, just to clear that up, but Guybrush has that very young voice. Are you good at drawing as well? Or can you help with scripting?
Ooh, I like it too, lovely style you have there! Looks like we have our first artist on the team
So what style are we after? CMI? Movie concept? Tales concept/cover? Something totally different?
:O
Uhh... Err... Well... Errrmmm.... Can I see a quick sample of each? No need to take your time on 'em...
Could you load up some demos like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSuig8e0DjQ) to a MP3 and post them up on a site like MegaUpload?
Well, I don't have public domain songs or sound effects, but leave it with me, I'll get something up and working.
I softof have two different styles, detailed and simple. Simple is far faster and usually reserved for less serious pictures. For example, this TMI4 spoiler-filled picture I posted in the fanart thread:
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/art/TMI4-SPOILERS-Birthday-Gift-142566132
And these older (read: not so good) ones:

http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/art/The-Unlucky-Fairy-2-52252455
And a couple examples of the other style I draw in:

... That enough? xD
Look good... Could you doodle up a Guybrush for me? (Sorry. x_x)

d'Oro hunts for the might Power Pirate Playset (with swinging trap doors), de Singe informs a poor patient that the splinter in his leg has gone bad, Noogie tries a dating video (my worst I admit, I had his voice in my head but not in my throat), Stan tries to sell pre-used internet access (which is actually an inter-island net of lines that ferries messages in bottles, currently unavailable in Spinner Cay), and for fun, Judge Grindstump tells Guybrush that pirates who represent themslves have fools for clients.
I wanted to do a Moose impression and Crimpdidgit's "Glass Unicorns!" but if I really want to get that kind of scratchy voice it helps to prepare for it, and I just didnt have the time today. (Thank God for weekends.)
Takun, I was very impressed with your recordings! We'll let you know more once we've made a decision
Aw shucks, you'll make me blush, haha. Im up for anything, so let me know if theres anything else I can submit to help out this weekend.
Hey, I just happen to have sketches of Guybrush from all five games lying around that I did a couple of weeks ago!
Cool pic!
Sounds great! I'm going to listen to them now! EDIT: Sounds good. If it is possible, could you do one going further into detail with Stan, de Singe, and Guybrush?
Sure thing, de Singe was easy, and Stan was fun (I tried to immitate his SP: SMI voice). Guybrush is just my normal voice in a higher pitch, plus I tried to leech any accent out of it. I'll scribble up a small script for them each and work on it.
It's not much of a script, I just tried to think of something funny between de Singe, Stan and Guybrush together.
de Singe: Now zen, if we turn zis ‘ere, and add zat there... ah oui! It iz coming togezere! Soon, I, ze Marquis de Singe will have created ze greatest invention since zat slimy beggair stole sliced bread from moi! Nevair again will those clumsy pirates find themselves lost upon ze briney blue sea, non! With this little darling’ upun they’re ships, they will all find their way back ‘ere to Flotsam.. and my operating table!
Stan: Step right up folks and check out the brand new invention to be sweeping the Spanish Main! Have you ever found yourself drifting through the seas lost or alone? Well, fear no more as I bring you the latest technology from Monkey Island, the Great People Searcher! Yes, just install one of these babies into your cabin, quarters or crow’s nest, and the GPS will immediately search for any people (or highly intelligent dolphins) and point out they’re location to you in an instant! Never again be lost with a genuine GPS! Now you’re probably asking yourself, Gee Stan, how can you be offering me such a fantastic item so cheaply and at such high quality that it doesn’t even need a warranty? Well folks, I’m going on holiday tomorrow, and I need my suitcase!
Guybrush: Ah, there’s no other life! Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty pirate, cruising the ocean, looking for treasure.. wondering if this stupid GPS thingy I got from Stan will actually work... Huh. That.. island looks really familiar.. Nah! It couldn’t be...
Okay, despite my lappy deciding not to co-operate, I managed to get two of them up!
This one's older, and I only personally like the top-left sketch. Ignore the unicorn in the corner.

This one's an abandoned idea for the Halloween contest. I can't draw Sam. xD
http://unicorn-foal.deviantart.com/art/MI-SaM-Sam-VS-Guybrush-145029656
I'd put up my actual entry for the contest, but it didn't feature Guybrush per se... just a kid dressed up as him. xD No wonder I didn't win anything!

I tried to do it as closely as possible to the original, but still in little places my natural tone and voice keeps appearing.
Anyway, tell me what you think
Gonna wait until next paycheck to get my new tablet.
But considering this is a low non budget animation I don't think getting a style more advanced then what was done would be silly. The BG style can still be detailed but, again, not going anywhere with this tablet
I will however draw some more characters up in different personal styles.
Very nice! I like you. Are you Australian? I know it's off book, but Stan doesn't really have a constant actor in the games, and you sound so much like a salesman...
Cool! Just curious. Can you try to match Zammaps CoMI style?
It's good! Your accent throws me off though... Where are you from? Try to use more of an American accent (what am I saying! We don't have accents!
That's an excellent picture! Glad to see we have such a talent on board! (Pun intended.)
Yeah, but bad news if you picked it up cause I was trying so hard to hide it, lol. (Well Guybrush might have had a bit of it in there.) Im a saleman irl too, I work in a mall and the lie's Ive told to push products are staggering. Anyhow, cheers! Happy to be a part of it.
"I'm Guybrush Treepwood, mighty pirate"
I fiddled around with my tablet. It's... workable now.
I LIKE that! Really Curse-ish!
I'm from Argentina, and sometimes my natural accent bothers a lot when talking english. Especially when there are many "t"'s on one same sentece. I get so stuck sometimes!
Buy anyway, I'll try an american accent
If so, let me know if you'd like to hear samples or something. It's been a while since I last worked on instrumentals, but I might have something suitable for showing, around, somewhere... I think.
(ahh... de-lurking is so difficult! but sometimes it can't be helped. lol)
Sounds good! I'm American... I have an Australian friend, so apparently I say a few things with an accent. Like Australia.
That's cool. You interested in animating?
Just curious. Can't wait to here it!
I'd love background music! Let me here what you got!
By the way Mr. Lurker. LURKERS WELCOME! You know what they say. Lurking makes the world go round!
Things seem to be going pretty well so far. There's been some great stuff posted here the past couple of days. Looking forward to working with you all!
Have you tried drawing some backgrounds?
