Thanks for the high-res pic nonetheless!! I love the art, but somehow, in that resolution, the digital coloring stands out as somewhat unnatural. I would have preferred some real watercolor.
Thank u everybody! Now I'm working in the Monkey and Voodoo Cars, I have a lot of funny ideas.
(And I was thinking... Could have been better having four voodoo ingredients as train stations instead of boats? Something of the thread... $200! Something of the head... $200!)

I kind of like the boats. What I DO wish is that you'd grouped your locations by ISLAND rather than whatever criteria you're currently using. So, for example, the green ones might be Stan's, the Scumm Bar, and the Governor's Mansion -- representing Melee Island. The blue squares' Monkey Head and Big Whoop would count as Monkey Island ... and so on. (You'd have some flexibility in the case of characters whose locations exist on multiple islands, such as the Voodoo Lady, Stan, and the Cannibals.)
The International House of Mojo could also be considered a utility, rather than "Murray & Co." As much as I love Murray, he'd work better as a gamepiece, I think! ("As I stride past GO..." "Stride?" "Alright, ROLL past GO...")
But that's just my personal taste ... you've done an outstanding job, design-wise! Kudos!
You know, I've done a lot of Sam & Max fan art since I first discovered Telltale, but I've been slacking on the Monkey Island fan art. I'm especially disappointed considering I consider myself a bigger Monkey Island fan, and "Tales of Monkey Island" was the first Telltale game I got. Anyway, in order to rectify the situation, here's my rendition of the original cover of "The Secret of Monkey Island". (Original art by Steve Purcell)
Thanks, Lennie! It's tough for me to say exactly how long it took; I should keep better track. I actually started it late August, but before I posted it, there were stretches of days where I didn't touch it, or just made a slight modification. All in all, maybe 3 weeks to a month of work, on and off? I was hoping to do the cover of Monkey Island 2, so I'll try to keep better track of that one.
Hi all friend!! Sorry if I didn’t logged in the forum in this last time ( I have done more commitments ).
Finally I can show this alternative cover for the special edition collection (this is only a little competition of the Italian Game stop , this draw will be note in the real cover of the stores)..
I hope do you like this

Cirolmo, your fandom exceeds all our expectations. Great, great work once again. You're often a little low on value contrasts but what you do with negative space other artists can only dream of.
I thought you might dig this as much as I do: Gabez from Mixnmojo made this post card based on a piece of concept art by Steve Purcell. I thought it was brilliant and always wanted to have it hanging on my wall but the resolution of the image back in the days wasn't good enough. To make a long story short: I remade it and here it is.
Don't know where I am going with my art this year. 2011 wasn't exactly productive, and I fear I have to re-learn a lot I once knew by heart. I hope I have the time and dedication.
Maybe a more bold approach is the easiest way to progress.

I'll take that last comment back. The problem was not the digital coloring, but in fact the faulty cutout to add a black background. Ryan has posted the original piece on his blog last Sunday, and I dare say it looks fantastic that way.
Now THAT's what I'm talking about!!
edit: Here's Steve Purcell's rough composition of the picture for comparison.
Hi! first post, long time lurker Been a fan of the series since I was a wee kiddo hehe, also finished this little art piece and I thought it would be fun to share c:
Previously, I drew the cover of "The Secret of Monkey Island", so now I'm working on a version of the cover of "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge". It's not done yet, but to keep this thread alive, here are a few previews.
I have been around for a while but didn't think my drawing capbilities were that good but I have decided to bite the cannon ball and decided to start drawing again!
It's been a while since I did any fanart, but I felt inspired to do some new Monkey art, here's LeChuck vs. Elaine:
I might add a background later or perhaps I'll do some other characters as well
PS. don't ask me about a certain comic I still should finish *runs off*
PS. don't ask me about a certain comic I still should finish *runs off*
As much as I absolutely loved that comic, I'd suggest just leaving it be in its current state. Unless of course you get the inspiration and desire to make a return to it. But, otherwise, just leave it behind. For artists, if there's no inspiration to create something, then that certain something isn't worth creating. Your best work will come from doing what you feel like doing. So, in my eyes, I wouldn't blame you for simply abandoning it.

That doesn't have ANYTHING to do with fanart, but here's a high resolution pic of the cover art:

Sorry, I didn't shrink them, but I figured since it was an art thread it would be fine, but Here's them shrunk in case you want to see them better:

My Facebook timeline attempt. Don't think any of my friends get it. I need new friends.
The idol's face makes me happy
