Custom Monkey Island Icons

edited November 2011 in Tales of Monkey Island
If you've visited the 'The Legendary Monkey Island FanArt' thread recently, you may have realized that some of us have been flooding the last couple of pages with some custom MI icons ever since The Highway provided us with a template in the his file of his own custom icons (available here). Anyway, instead of cluttering the 'The Legendary Monkey Island FanArt' thread with custom icons (which aren't technically art), I decided to create a thread specifically for them. So, feel free to post any icons here that you make/have made yourself.

Here are some of mine:

    It looks nice, especially with the actual image being dark; you can barely see the jagged edges on the inside. But, for some reason, the outside edges are even more jagged than before :confused:.

    Yeah, it looks better with the icon, good job! I think we should make this an official rule: anyone can edit anybody's icon as much as they want. Any objections?

    How 'bout this one to match the Tales ones?

    I'm glad I'm the one responsible for all this :D

    I decided to make even better plrichard's image, this one

    picture.php?albumid=339&pictureid=2192

    which he made better from mine.

    Here it is:

    I might make some later with lechuck's head popping out, guybrush's sword, etc... to fit in better, seeing as im lazing around all day at the moment

    Yeah, he looks much better in 2D. Actually most of the Escape characters looked better in the concept art than in the actual game. It would have been a wiser decision by LucasArts to make EfMI in 2D, rather than try to make the game with 3D graphics. Telltale managed to pull it off fine with Tales, but that's because 10 years advanced technology than what was used to create EfMI.

    I'm surprised that you didn't begin with a Treasure Crab icon.

    I'm still confused as to what exactly Treasure Crab is

    It's that crab that keeps popping up near treasure chests. It's probably the
    the Voodoo Lady spying on Guybrush.

    At the end of Lair of the Leviathan he went towards the chest that Murray ends up in and it starts shaking..... I am telling you what happened next is depicted in my AV.

    Yep, that would have been my guess, too. I don't know why it /she would crawl into the treasure chest on Brillig Island, though.

    Because there might have been trezer in thar! Ye cannot escape the briny pull of a good old fashioned trezer hunt!

    Any chance you want to do one like this of MI2 classic LeChuck? I'd do it myself, but I suck at this sort of thing.

    You mean like this: lcr2.png or like this: lcr1.png


    or maybe this: lcr2a.png

    When I made these, I couldn't decide which one was better. I have the shot of GB from the front, so I got one of LC from the front (at the tunnel elevator.) I also figured a side shot might give a better profile of him, but then was caught between showing as much clothing as GB shows in his, or making LC's face (the green part) as big as GB's.
  • edited July 2010
    I think I like the zoomed out side shot best. They're all awesome, though. Thanks!
  • edited July 2010
    Edited previous posts:

    - Fixed the zoomed out LCR Purcell LeChuck icon (the bird's mouth was messed up a bit)
    - Fixed the Pyrite Parrot icon (original image was only 128x128, which was not big enough to get icon converters to put all possible icon sizes in the converted file.)
