    Hi there, people.

    Would anyone be interested in doing some CD cover art for the Monkey Island radio plays I've made? I can't legally sell them, but it would be good having something for Beneath Monkey Island and The Power of Monkey Island (which starts soon) for people to download and print off themselves.

    Check out the website in my signature.

    I like minimalist designs, and Monkey Island too, so.. I made some minimalist/retro miniposters from the Monkey Island Universe!

    I can't keep up with all the redonkulous lingo, so I'll just say I'm in awe of those posters. Most of them would end up framed and hung on my wall if possible. Beautiful, beautiful work.

    Hmm ...
    does the thought of "Criterion box art" occur to anyone else, or is it just me?
  • edited April 2010
    I hereby decide that all the people complimenting "the posters" were referring to anyone who has posted in this thread before, and as such one person, to take the compliment.

    Thank you, everyone, thank you.

    (Oh, the... er... wall illustrations are great.)

    Thank you very much! I didn't expect this! You are too kind.

    I learned a new word, thank you! (seriously)
  • edited April 2010
    Nemiant those are incredible! Now I really want giant posters of them... especially the LeChuck's Revenge one.
  • edited April 2010
    My favourite is definitely the Curse one.
  • edited April 2010
    I love that Tales one. It's the kind of thing i'd frame and hang on my walls for people to not know what the hell it is
  • edited April 2010
    I would also hang the Tales poster on my wall, as well as the LeChuck's Revenge poster. :)
    Now for my artz:

    Sadly, there is a 98% chance that this pickup line would work on me.

    And a ridiculous comic I just drew which is under a link because it's kinda big: Adult Humor.
    Haww. . you can kinda tell it was late when I finished it.

    Also, here is some bizarre Monkey Island crossover fanart, which you won't understand unless you're familiar with the Flight of the Conchords show.

    Hahaha that first one is awesome and I love it.

    ...It was supposed to be one of the failed pickup lines? It reminds me of a line from Lion King in French. Let's see:
    What heavy secret is he hiding,
    Behind such bitterness?
    All I know is he's this exiled king
    Who reigns over my heart!

    It's cheesy I guess, but it's sweet!
  • edited April 2010
    Yep! That's one of the things you can say to Elaine when you meet up with her again in MI2. . and the best one, in my opinion.

    How's about some crossover art where Murray and Max (of Sam & Max) meet for the first time? Something along the lines of...


    Max: Aww, Sam, can we keep him? He's trying to bite me...isn't that cute?

    Murray: Hey! Watch the hands, mortal!

    Wow, these are great. You've got a great style, and it actually fits Monkey Island quite well.
    I don't think the humor is that "adult" though. Let's just say I expected worse. ;)

    So did I. I should have had Elaine grab his ass or something. :cool:

    I just posted this at the Mojo forums and am shamelessly pasting it here (hence the confusing reference to these forums). Enjoy :D

    Most of you will probably remember that when the LeChuck's Revenge Special Edition was announced, a picture of the promotional box art/poster was released. A lot of people were unhappy about the finished product (although, full disclaimer, I quite liked it), and some people over at the Telltale forums [did you spot the confusing reference?] took matters into their own hands and made some fixes/adjustments to it. I changed LeChuck's head and beard to look less block-like and, after realising how much I enjoyed it, I decided to create my own take on the original art.

    It's not meant to replace either the Special Edition art or Purcell's original, both of which are great in their own ways (although Purcell's is obviously better >.>), it's just my own little art project that I wanted to do as a tribute to the original.

    Since this isn't 1992 and I'm not being commissioned by LucasArts to do this, I didn't have to worry about spoilers and so I was able to put them in the underground tunnels where they were in the game. The more eagle-eyed among you will also notice that I've given LeChuck's eyes and needles some voodooey treatments, and I've given LeChuck a nice green spray tan. These are things that I think reflect the in-game scene that I'm depicting quite well, although that's no slight on the original art, which I think is arse-bogglingly brilliant.

    So, without further inane babbling, here it is:

    If you want to use this in any way at all then you're more than welcome to as long as you accredit me :p

    Credits go to:

    The lovely Steve Purcell

    The lovely folk at Wacom

    The lovely folk at Adobe

    Laserschwert for his lovely high-res poster (a poorly printed copy of which I currently have Sellotaped to my wall)

    And you, people of San Diego. You stay classy.

    Second fanart!
    it started out as elaine,
    but for some reason i feel like it looks more like kate capsize, even though we never really get a good look at her, weird
  • edited April 2010
    Nemiant, those posters are out of this world - great tribute to Saul Bass there! Also Ignis, I got the Murray reference - it's very cool. ;)

    I should just say I've been spending a few weeks (on and off in stolen minutes) catching up on this thread and most of the quality here has left me speechless and goggling at the inventiveness and collaborative enthusiasm going on here. I love how you're all feeding off each others ideas and having reached the end (so far) I think I can safely say there's enough talent here to scare most established developers! ;)

    THAT IS AWESOME.

    Small niggling annoyance though: Guybrush's cuffs are wrong. :o

    OTHERWISE, PERFECT. MY USE OF CAPITALS IS JUSTIFIED. *goes to fave it on devArt*

    Aw, dammit you're right! *Jacques the monkey facepalm*
    Oh well. . .actually I think the cuffs kind of look better my way, if I do say so myself. :P
    Anyway, thank you very much!
