Lookie what I found!

They were photoshop project files (except for Elaine, her image was just too big) so I made them image-posting friendly. :)

    The more I see the new Guybrush the more I like him. He's definitely older, but he retains the certain something that is Guybrush.

    In the first batch of screenshots, he looked a bit strange.. but the more I see of him, especially animated, he looks more and more like I would expect him to.

    Yeah, animated his gate is perfect for Guybrush.
    And Elaine looks pretty spot on aswell, in the games style. Yes she may not resemble the high(er) def pictures of Elaine in SoMI, but she looks more composed than Guybrush and resembles her characteristics well.

    Well I know Ron Gilbert just recently said he never liked the close-up shots, so to me that pretty much means that's not how the characters were ever supposed to look. The close-ups as far as I know are not done by Steve Purcell. His cover art for SoMI is a sort of half-way point between realistic and cartoony, whereas the close-ups were just realistic.

    Aye, true. Though a lot of people look back on them as inspirational, which they were. But definitely, the series has moved on stylistically from those close ups, which added depth to the game, as now that depth can be portrayed in facial expression and movement.
    I'm definitely pleased thorugh with what I am seeing from Telltale, I just cannot wait for the release. See it all in motion, all the characters, islands, and basically everything I've hoped for come into motion.

    Although the close-ups from the EGA version looks (to me) a lot like Steves art work.

    One more reason for sticking with EGA.
    The VGA close-ups looks like the cover from a book by Danielle Steel.

    I think Guybrush's sword is cool.

    Too cool for Guybrush, sadly.

    Esp too cool seeing how they say they did not do insult sword fighting well in this game. Elaine looks fantastic though.

    LeChuck has a lot of height to him. Longer legs, maybe? Makes him a lot more similar to the first two games, which is great!:)

    Also, was I the only one who never was aware of the "VIP" section of the site, until Guybrush pointed it out?:confused:

    If it helps you feel better, (spoiler here)
    he probably loses it in the first 10 minutes of the game.
