New and improved? I did another one closer to the MI2 sprite
Oh boy ... hmm. I think I prefer the newer sprite a tad more. Although I'd like to see something that uses different parts from both versions -- something in-between the two. Otherwise, I really like both of them.
And now down to six days! Which leads me to ...
Six!
Max: Sam, your hilt is obscuring my vision.
Sam: Only partially, little pal. Besides, I'm counting on you to help me swash some buckles, or whatever other damn-silly pirate terminology I can thoroughly mangle in an attempt to sound more relevant to our present situation.
Max: Yeah, yeah, I'm behind you -- but only if you promise to never wear that ridiculous ensemble again. Ever.
Sam: Sure! You give me that hat and we've got a deal.
Max: Not a chance, Fancy Pants.
Sam: [frowns] ... I'm more of a Spade than a LeChuck, anyway.
Max: Funny, I thought you were more of a "winter."
Sam: [laughs] You bust me up, little pal!

Inspired by the piece found in this Spudvision post, of course.
Made some pencil-drawings this morning. I’m afraid of final drawing with a pen, everytime I do that the picture doesn’t look as good as the pre-concept-pencil one. Need more practise with pens, I think.
Dot-by-dot, wait... you mean there's an easier way?! o_O
Heh, no, I don't know any easier way... It's just that, I can't really imagine how can you choose the colors and the right dot in the right place. They're DOTS! How can you have a general image in you head, that you can transpose into dots?

Well I didn't start off from scratch, I used parts of the SMI and MI2 sprites. And to get the colours I just used the colour grabber thing on the Tales concept art It looked a little faded so I then just messed with the brightness a bit. It's not actually as hard as all that!
It's great, but when his arms spread in opposite directions, the coat becomes way too wide in back, giving the appearance of a hunched back or something. It should remain relatively the same width as it's a side view and his back wouldn't turn really at all toward the player in the frames, especially if you are mimicking the original game. Otherwise it's GREAT.
I see what you are talking about... Because of laziness I will leave it alone and try to make a weak argument about how the original sprite was sort of hunched too and that if I fix it kittens will die....... You wouldn't want kittens to die would you?
Anyone have the original sprites walk cycle? I want to see it.
Amazing artwork, you guys! Earlier today I spent around an hour just browsing this thread. Fantastic stuff!
Well, here's my first contribution to the Monkey Island fanart collection:
It's about a year old now, and it's not very creative (heavily referenced from a screenshot) but it was fun!
I have more somewhere, but this is the only pic I have scanned at this moment in time. Will be back soon with more pics - and am looking forward to seeing more fanart of awesomeness by everyone else!
P.S. Sheepbrush, could you tell what you meant by "Snygg bild/Nice picture! Är det där största storleken?" as I don't understand Swedish?
Sure thing. Snygg bild means Nice picture and Är det där största storleken? means Is that the biggest version of the picture? And I gotta say, your drawing was epic.
Here is another one done quickly at work yesterday. This scene for me was one of the most memorable in MI and I just loved the music playing in the background (on my Amiga)
Whoa, awesome! I love the wacky perspective, it reminds me of the backgrounds in some of the LucasArts games that followed the first 2 MI games, like DOTT or Sam & Max. Great work with all the detail too!

Guybrush from Tales of Monkey Island in the classic style

How do you DO that? Do you actually place dot-by-dot on the image, or you draw him in a bigger version and then you "shrink" the image to dot-size?
Dot-by-dot, wait... you mean there's an easier way?! o_O
Heh, no, I don't know any easier way... It's just that, I can't really imagine how can you choose the colors and the right dot in the right place. They're DOTS! How can you have a general image in you head, that you can transpose into dots?

love it!
Those two are probably your best drawings yet.
Feel free to cut it, crop it, use it, print it out to spit on it..... or drop it in some fanart...
Shouldn't this be posted in the "Wallace & Gromit"-subforum?
Wow, that looks awesome. Good job.
It's great, but when his arms spread in opposite directions, the coat becomes way too wide in back, giving the appearance of a hunched back or something.

Try to reduce the arch in the back then abit, and it should be better; though others may disagree with me.

Five!
Meathook got a baaaaaad deal on that one. He doesn't seem to care much for the artist's attempt at perspective, either. >_>;
Haha! Your countdown art's great!!

"Now let's find out who this ghost zombie pirate REALLY is."
There's a little error in the walk... when the left leg moves forward, the left arm should move backwards. It's always opposite to each other.
Whatcha think?
Snygg bild/Nice picture! Är det där största storleken?
Edit: Oh, and it's really 005's piece. I'm just playing around with it.
Hey man! Really amazed as how it's coming so far!
I'm looking forward to see the finished version of it with all cool effects and such!

(BTW, love the countdown pics, light_rises!)
Sure thing. Snygg bild means Nice picture and Är det där största storleken? means Is that the biggest version of the picture?
Again, hope you guys will like it...
Love the colors and the angle.
