Future Costumes/Designs for Guybrush

TeethTeeth
edited May 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
What do you want Guybrush to look like in future games? I think that since his Tales outfit was heavily based on his outfit from MI2, it'd be nice if his next one was like his outfit in Curse. It'd also be cool to see him with his hair down rather than done up in a ponytail. :D

    No. Keep his coat. Just redesign it a bit. Or not at all. And the reason his hair is in a pony tail is because that's what pirates do. They don't wear their hair down.

    I hope they don't even use the same model for Guybrush if they make another season of Tales. It'd be weird to have a Guybrush that didn't change entirely between games.

    Yeah, but Guybrush has always been girly, this would be a hilarious extention to that.

    i totally disagree, the alot of people the blue Jacket, it suits him, and plus he cant have his hair down, having it in a ponytail is kind of him trade mark, itd like having Lechuck with no beard

    No he isn't and no it wouldn't.

    Also, was that pun intended? :D

    I see no need to change the model for Guybrush ultimately. The tales are exactly that, seasonal. But minor changes for posterity would be great, just to show that yes Guybrush does change/bathe (only because Elaine makes him).
    Maybe a return of the cummerbund? While the beard was a gamble Telltale made quite well off, perhaps remove it, or make a more subtle goatee (story arc, Elaine makes him shave it?).
    Change the hair, so he looks less 80's pop singerish???

    Bring back the SOMI pants?
    Really I'm happy with Tales doing what they want as opposed to me/others pestering how Guybrush should look. I trust Telltale Games with the perpetuation of the legend that is Monkey Island.

    He should definitely get some new clothes.. and possibly a new hairdo just to remain faithful to all the games... Guybrush always changes from game to game.... Its tradition.

    I love this 3D version of what looks a lot like CMI Guybrush. Justin, why don't you work for Telltale yet?

    :( Well I really like your art. I'm sure you could do something for them. Either way, please continue to make art!

    Is it weird to be getting mental images of Guybrush pulling his hair out of his ponytail and shaking his head seductively all in slow-motion?




    Yes. Yes it is....*just stop now*

    ANYWAY, I actually don't really want Guybrush's model to change at all, since his ToMI model was my favorite---I even like it (and Elaine's model) better than in CMI. I guess if anything should change, it should be his outfit and maybe the hair. . BUT THE SIDEBURNS MUST STAY! :D

    Give him a red coat instead.
  • IrishmileIrishmile
    edited May 2010
    Red coat wouldn't be as common... Red coats where worn by the royal army at the time.... the blue coats came from the Royal Navy..... many sailors and pirates ended up wearing them.... not that NONE of them had red coats because obviously they did..... but a coat is a coat right?

    Now you may hate EMI, but even though Guybrush had a very blocky model, he had some cool clothes there. I think that red outfit would look nice on our hero in the next season.

    About the beard... I think it would be cool if every season (or even every episode?) his beard expands a little, until he ends up with a glorious pirate beard. Or just keep the goatie. I don't want him shaved anytime soon, unless it somehow ties in with the story. For exampe, if he meets a trio of familiar barbers and they shave him as revenge or something like that. :P

    Now that they've established the character with the sort of Revenge/Curse hybrid outfit, I feel like they could design their own outfit for him and not feel the need to pay direct tribute to the previous ones as much. I do like that his look is different in every game so I would be pretty sad if he looked exactly the same in a future season of Tales.

    My favorite article from Escape was his nifty belt buckle with the GT on it--a bit of a throwback to Grim Fandango. But yes, the red coat was pretty cool.

    I actually have it on good authority that they've already decided on an outfit for Tales season 2:

    Puzzlebox, you've just made my day. :)

    I'd be happy to see his TOMI model appear in a second season, but it would break the tradition of him always changing appearance. Maybe he'll grow his beard a bit more...

    That would be weird. Just.... weird.

    I like Tales Guybrush the most. 1 and 2 are just pixels (1 was fine, 2 didn't look like guybrush really) and 3 is good, but Guybrush is all gangly. 4 was just... what, was Guybrush 10?

    Mi6 had the best guybrush by far.

    A. There's nothing wrong or inferior with pixels.

    B. How can Guybrush not look like Guybrush? That's an oxymoron.

    *cue the spelling Nazi*
    no takers, then that must mean I'm the Literary device Communist, or something to that effect.
    Just call me LitComm. then...

    For the pendantic people out there and the anal retentive logic kings, what my good comrade meant was "paradox".

    In other news…

    thinking on Guybrush, can you remove the embroidery or whatever you want to call it on the cuff of Guybrush's boots, okay for sleeve cuffs, bad for legs.

    And while we're going where's the "Future costume/designs for LeChuck" thread?
    Please no walrus/LeChuck tusks

    Irishmile, these are just awesome! If you plan on doing another one of these, may I suggest (or request) a green coat?

    I just hope they don't remove the goatie. About the SoMI outfit... No... Guybrush is an experienced older pirate (decade worth of pirate booty) he deserves an outfit the marks him as that... But wouldn't mind a costume change... but keep the same model, maybe add more detail but keep the same design...

    Aww Hef. I think that might destroy my image of Guybrush though. Guybrush needs the coat, his SMI clothes are very distinctive of his "I want to be a pirate" phase.

    And pixels are surprisingly expressive. *clings to SMI and LR pixelated characters*

    I would've thought Season 2 of Tales would have a graphical enhancement, like Sam and Max Season 3, so the characters will look a little bit different regardless of whether their costumes change (And if Winslow's gonna stay around he'll probably get a unique character model). Although I really do want a costume change for Guybrush, because as has been pointed out, his current outfit is almost the same as his MI2 outfit.
