So, because working on my comic is a pain in the backside at time, I offer you with an interlude that I did just for fun. I call it "behind the scenes". Might do more if I'm inspired.
So I was in class yesterday, a friend of mine wanted me to draw Guybrush and Elaine (though he didn't know the name of Elaine so he just called her with a rather rude name feminists may find offensive). I did it, he liked it, and he just took it and leave.
Well if it's a friend of yours and not a random stranger, you might be able to get your hands back on the drawing to scan it or obtain a digital version of it from said friend?

I like. Was this done after or before the Tales season?
During the season, between episode 4 and 5. I wished a realistic LeChuck so I removed the big skull on the hat and I modified the coat.
This illustration is the cover of a fan-story written by one of my friends: a LeChuck's biography entitled LeChuck saga.
That's amazing! You're really talented, I could never get that much detail with clay.
(You want to paint it? I like it the way it is but I guess it will look great painted, too. Will you take a picture when it's cooked? I want to see the colour difference, since I don't have access to an oven to cook clay in and as a result have mostly worked with the "dries on its own" type).

Yeah, it needs some colors. But not glaze, just good ol' acrylic paint. Some other things I'm going to add: sand on the base, feathers in the hat and some "glow in the dark" plastic clay behind the holes in the beard (for that oozing voodoo effect).
Sure I can take a photo. I use the camera to take pictures to my portfolio anyway. I've used this clay before and then it got a light red color with some yellow parts here n' there.

That could be the problem. I've used that sort of clay before. Sticky on the fingers but it was hard to add more pieces of clay if you didn't knead (is that the word... strange) it in.
That would make sense. You need to use the good stuff if you want good results, after all.
I've used acrylic to paint clay, the colour really darkened after it dried though so I ended up repainting it all with a paler tone.
I think the reason I couldn't do something like that with clay though, ore than the fact I'm using clay that's not as good, is lack of practice, experience and possibly classes or advice from other people.
My problem is that I always think "I'd love to do that" but for many things at once. And many of them require a lot of dedication and hard work, so I can't do it for every single thing, and I end up doing lots of things, but half-assed if that makes sense.
Anyways, can't wait to see more pictures at different stages, and to see what it looks like when it's done!
LeChuck made of earthenware. Just needs a little heat before I can add the colors.
Oh man, that is AMAZING! It's going to look completely awesome when it's finished. How tall is it?
I'm going to take a bash at sculpting Morgan once I've got my current work out of the way, but I'd be using polymer clay instead of earthenware. (don't have a kiln) If it comes out half as awesome as your LeChuck, I'll be happy!

Lol. I got a lot of plastic bags of unfinished stuff. I melted some of that unfinished stuff down [insert pyrite parrot joke here] when LeChuck was in need of arms.

It's about 45cm/18inch. But it will shrink in the kiln... or explode
Cool! What kind of pose do you have in mind? Swordfight?.. Seducing?
Not exclusively... the re-modeling, lighting and rendering of the (extracted) 3D-characters was done in 3dsmax, while everything that came after that was done with Photoshop.
Sorry for maybe an obvious question, but how do you extract 3D models out of a/the game? :eek:
I just finished reading through this entire forum, looking for inspiring artwork. So now that I'm done, I decided to post a sketch of ToMI Guybrush I made last year. Kinda tried to merge the ToMI and CMI styles, since I think the graphics of CMI are freakin' epic. ^^
I love both of those, they truly are quite epic! I reckon they should use your Guybrush as the character design for the special edition of LeChuck's Revenge (just with different clothing).
Edit: Have you got any more? Tell me you've got more!
Haha, thanks a bunch. ^^ Now, even though I am a hardcore fan of the MI series, I haven't got any more completed fanart atm, but I have an unfinished Van Helgen sketch lying around somewhere that I've been meaning to colorize and complete, so I guess I'll put that up when it's done. ^^
I'd be really impressed if someone did something with any of the fantasy Rock band lineups I posted in Haydenwce27's supergroup thread. I'm no artist, so know better than to bother showing the artistic talents of a 5yo.
Tnx Falanca..

cirolmo> it looks wonderful. It looks like something I'd want to buy and hang on my wall. Awesome.
I love your style and I really love the colour range, too. That was the right way to advertise for your book :P

Well, 'Dante' is an Italian name, but I think that still counts as Latin...
ETA:
I would like to try my hand at the Zombie Pirate-King DeChuck, but first I might have a shot at a Kirby Swordmaster.
Gooood grief, how come I find her so sexy even in kirbyesque form??
...
I'm slightly frightened by myself

I'd like to put it in here but, oh well...
Kirby Morgan is Jen Kollic's! I just quoted the photo to comment
Ohsh~ My bad.
Nah, this is what they expect me to do...

Anywhere that we can find this piece of fan fiction, or is it a work in progress?
Nice! He looks a good bit meaner than his Tales version, which is what I'd expect if this is LeChuck before he originally died.
Oh, I'm sure LeChuck could've looked very mean in Tales if he wanted. But remember, he wanted to manipulate everyone.
I know, hence the voodoo beltbuckle. Maybe he'd have looked more like this without it.
I'll ask to the writer
unfortunately it's in italian...and it's very long!
Waiting for another monkey island^^
In fact in this picture Guybrush is small but anyway...

I really need to take some time looking at all the pages in this thread.
Edit: Have you got any more? Tell me you've got more!
That is one heck of a great drawing. Style is wonderful, background and everything is well done. Win wan won.
