Unofficial Tales of Monkey Island photo editing contest!

[TTG] Yare[TTG] Yare Telltale Alumni
edited April 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
A few days ago, a thread popped up in this forum with some pictures of Monkey Island characters crossing over into other media. The pictures were great, but they were buried in a terrible thread and I think they need a proper home.

But here's where it gets interesting. I will take entries for a week or so. Then, I will have people in the office vote on their favorite edits. The winners will get something. What are the prizes, and how many will be awarded? I'll figure that part out later. Whatever it is, it's probably coming out of my own wallet. Exciting! Some possibilities, depending on what I wind up getting away with:

1) I will use your image as my forum avatar or signature or something.
2) Coupons for the Telltale Store?
3) I (or other random people) might sign something and send it to you. (approximate value $0 ).
4) ???

Post your entries in this thread. Good luck!

Disclaimer: This is not an official contest. Nothing I've said here is binding in any way you or a team of lawyers could dream up.

The thread will be closed to new contest entries 10 AM PST on July 13th as my coworkers and I hold a super top-secret vote. I'll announce the winners and their prizes a day or two after.

You can continue posting images after the contest closes if you fancy.

***** Contest is now closed. Results will be announced in a day or so. *****


I haven't forgotten about you guys! I'm busy programming a program right now, but the web team has stepped up to help out with the contest. Stay tuned!

!!!!!

WINNERS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED!

    I really would appreciate it if the telltale people would try a darker, more emo approach to the MI franchise :D

    I have strikethrough'd the credit away from you, with extreme prejudice.

    No kidding how awesome would it be to have MI costumes for LBP? But I suppose since neither new MI are going on PS3 the chances of that are pretty slim oh well.

    Sure why not. Reworked this slightly. Still makes me wish I hadn't started out with such poor quality compressed source material - and had it actually done in poster size. But then it'd probably even more apparent that I'm a three-headed monkey at anything related to this and thereabouts. :)

    It also makes me wish a pro would pick up the idea and make it into a full-size movie poster! Maybe it'd actually look fairly awesome hanging from my wall. Or above the toilet. Or in the dining room. Or anywhere. 60/70s movie posters rock. Particularly from Kubrick ones. Hey, anybody willing to do a Clockwork Orange thing? :D

    @Thesporkman: this is wrong for so many reasons, and for that, I love it.

    @irishmile: loving all of the cutsiness, not a fan of the Brutal parody

    @katsuro: I love Elaine's new look, definitely should be a consideration for the next iteration of MI games. I'm all for scantily clad Elaine. Two big thumbs up here.

    @TTG_Yare: This thread is amazing, keep it up even after the "contest"

    YOU DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY HAVE PERMISSION TO POST THIS ON YOUR SITE! ALWAYS ASK FIRST!

    I had many ideas for this like LeChuck spewing blood and reworking the Metal Slug text to say Monkey Slug but I'm far too lazy so you will just have to deal with this:

    MonkeySlug.gif Reference: MetalSlug.gif

    I also worked more on Herman than Gubyrush because that was the first thing I started doing before I started getting bored... I have quite a short attention span D:

    Most people will use the magnetic lasso and/or magic wand tools. It's surprisingly simple with layers and masking et cetera.

    Of course, I only used tiny pixels so I just zoomed in and edited pixel by pixel for mine XD
