Really, have you considered working on a fangame as the artist?
I don't know about fan games, but one of these days I'd really like to make an original game with Adventure Game Studio. I just need to learn the scripting language and, um, have a good idea for a game. Also I'm a terrible animator; static sprites are one thing, but I suck at making things move.
Until years later when they find out what you did to them and sue your backside off for scarring them for life with a baby photo that cannot be unseen...
np: Jackie Leven - Classic Northern Diversions (The Haunted Year: Winter - Men In Prison)
I had a spare moment and made a crappy heavily-derivative wallpaper consisting of one of Welshy's colours of one of Micki's works, with the new Monkey Island logo and a Puerto Pullo background:

Yay!! Shiver me buxom timbers!!
This is my new wallpaper, thank you S@bre!
And awesome art all over the thread, you people are really impressive!
2 years ago I was doing con sketches at the Munich Comic Festival. I usually ask what people want drawn, but when they replied "oh, anything, surprise me", I'd just draw them a quick Guybrush or LeChuck.
And since it was in Germany, Guybrush is saying "How appropiate, you fight like a cow!" in German.

Sehr schöne Skizze!
I like it that it was drawn with only a few lines and not too much detail.
You were on a comic festival? Are you a comic artist?
Comments are of course welcome, even after such a long time. If you have a DA account yourself, please also don't hesitate to verbally clobber my present journal entry. It isn't posted on this forum for a reason.
Now for all you artists out there...
@ AdoC:
I love these sketches. Brilliant sense of perspective, very interesting cross-hatching and textures, and no shame at all to go playful if you feel like it. The first image is my favourite because of this.
Your colored ones show even more skill. That's Fester Shinetop reinvented. Facial expression, lighting, gesture: Brilliant!
@ Masquerade:
What an effort! You're focusing on almost emblematic drawings, and there are so many of them; in what time frame were these drawn?
@ Irishmile:
I like the textures of this first piece, and the Island one as well. They are just big enough to be felt by the viewer. When did you do this, and what have you drawn since then? I can't look at my own drawings from a few years back... I feel they're too embarassing...
@ Monkey 05 06:
That would be just like me. At first, I couldn't think of anything to draw on that "artPad", and by default it would be Monkey Island fan art. Like it!
@ Micki!:
Ah, decent semi-lascivous Elaines in many poses, just what we need. Read all the literature about it. Decent anatomy knowledge, CMI resemblance and a great line - pro stuff!
@ skylebones:
I really wonder why LEC artists haven't thought of this earlier. This looks so right! ;-) Great LeChuck!
@ Majus:
...posted the first real TMI drawing on this thread. Well, you're my hero since the (German) Flash movie anyway, which I saw quite a while ago.
@ Jayel:
Thank you: Great way with colors, great contrast, great mood. It's what, in my opinion, the first TMI scenes really lacked.
@ jp-30:
I'm still waiting for Lego to release a MODERN pirate themed... well, that's another topic. Your effort is very visible in these - makes me wish to be a child again, take up some figures and just play in this gigantic Melee town...
@ Duate:
Nice perspective, good color choice. Have we ever met the monkey on Guybrush's shoulder? Doesn't look like a monkey wrench to me...
@ Paco Vink:
Very individual style, great art. You have so many things just nailed down, I envy this. I wouldn't necessarily recognize Elaine, though - still, that's the danger with new art paths. Love it!
@ Samas:
In one of the most beloved art instruction books, Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", there's this great experiment called "Recalled childhood drawing". You might want to try it sometime. It might be more interesting for you than for others.
@ Welshy:
Great coloring efforts, very cell-shade-y. I also like your limited color palette.
@ Todesreiter:
PLEASE tell me where I can get that monkey. Want it!!
@ Hoppy dragon:
So I really COULD have played CMI on my AMIGA. Why didn't anyone tell me? I could have skipped buying a PC for another six years straight! I'd really like you to elaborate on where'd you get that idea. Must have been a strong urge...
That's it for now, been through the first six pages of the thread. I will get to more later.
Vainamoinen! Great drawings. Ambitious of you "rating" every artist in this thread!
No kidding. Although it DID inspire me to go back through and look at all the older stuff. I don't have the gumption to comment on it all, but there was some awesome stuff there.
Irishmile, very nice coloring. You managed to let her look like 50something, now it would be interesting to see an older Guybrush.
jfen005, that looks beautiful! But, in my opinon, LeChuck is a bit too much background, he doesn’t look like the leader of the bunch. But really, very nice collage.
Comments
Thanks.
I think only one word can describe the awesomeness of that sprite: epic.

Nice! Your Guybrush actually looks alot like Dominic Armato!
My little girl sure is looking forward to the release of Tales!

Be warned! For my art is rather crappy, and the description very long and full of fan-girling. Tuurrn back! Tuurrn back! Darkness will envelope you!
...wait...
Oh, here it is!
Nice drawing!

Cool drawing, dude. cool drawing.
edit: "Ach ja" doesn't really mean "How appropriate" does it? Sounds more like "Oh yeah?".
But "Ach ja?" is one of Guybrush's lame replys, which makes him lose a round...
Thank ye!

Thank you very much for the kind words
Here is some more Tales-FanArt: These Guybrushs were taken from the flash-movie I’m working on… Stay tuned!
No kidding. Although it DID inspire me to go back through and look at all the older stuff. I don't have the gumption to comment on it all, but there was some awesome stuff there.
Seven!
Poor Jojo, Sr.
More to come ...
All comments are welcome! Oh.. and if anyone is interested in coloring it up with some neat effects, feel free to do so!!
Have you done any MI flash fan games?
Would be great in that style IMO.
jfen005, that looks beautiful! But, in my opinon, LeChuck is a bit too much background, he doesn’t look like the leader of the bunch. But really, very nice collage.
