It's the giant manatee-kitty kat!
And cute Morgan too

Great piece :D

[tbm1986]

Looks more like a giant seal than a cat

[Novotnus]

Looks more like a giant seal than a cat

Looks like Jabba's Sarlacc. Or sand worm of the Dune.

[yoshiwam]

I made a quick rough sketch of stan the salesman
I think it'd be cool if we'd find him in the belly of the manatee dealing it's organs xD

Bytheway - I don't know if it's appropriate to post this here - but I'm working on a little point 'n click game, for which I made the backgrounds in MS paint x3 here's a screenshot if you care to check it out ^ o ^

[Kroms]

That's actually really good. Your point-n-click looks cute, so I hope you finish it.

Lots of good art in this thread, by the way.

[tbm1986]

Ha cute

[Munky]

You are very talented Yoshiwam..love the background :)

[Armakuni]

A lot of awesome pictures in here since I last checked... some really talented people are posting here :eek:

[Armakuni]

yoshiwam, that's really good!

[tbm1986]

^ poor Stan... will never have kids ;-(

He might...if Singe kidnaps him and makes the Caribbean's first stem cell! :p

Poor kid/s won't be able to control their arms, though.

[yoshiwam]

thanks Armakuni ^^

^ poor Stan... will never have kids ;-(
was that a gay joke? : p

Is it just me or does Morgan look even more... seductive here than in the game?

Anyways, this is a great piece of art! ;)

I do have some pieces of MI fanart of my own (mainly CMI), on my deviantART account. Like this one for instance:

The Final Curse
http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs29/f/2008/107/f/5/CMI__The_Final_Curse_by_beekay84.jpg

Or for a little crossover:
http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2009/033/8/b/CMI_goes_Titanic_by_beekay84.jpg

As well as a "What-if" picture:
http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs16/f/2007/188/4/0/Not_a_Pirate_Yet_by_beekay84.jpg

If you'd like to see more of my older drawings, tell me. I'll also upload new work, if you're interested.

[Hayden]

I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that I'd really like to see some more of your art, these pics are great!

[PetiteBiere]

Oh, wait...Star Wars...ignore me

[BeeKay84]

He, he, alright, with six people asking for more, I can't disappoint you. ;) Unfortunately, I already gave away my best stuff, but let's see if you like my less perfect art, too...

This was one of my first CMI fanarts, called "Brothers actually...?", a pretty disturbing what-if-scenario:
http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs18/f/2007/224/3/5/Brothers_actually_____by_beekay84.jpg

Inspired by a scene from the "Secret of Monkey Island" school play (for more info, ask World of MI or YouTube):
http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs28/f/2008/118/9/d/I_have_Elaine___screw_you_by_beekay84.jpg

And this was a request for a friend:
http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs39/f/2008/335/9/a/Reward_for_atlantiluna_by_beekay84.jpg

I also made an attempt at drawing ToMI fanart, still using CMI comic style, but this very ugly sketch (http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs51/f/2009/262/2/a/Tales_of_MI_sketchy_Sketch_by_beekay84.jpg) that came out tells me ToMI and CMI don't really go together.

But that is amazing! I love how you drew Elaine... maybe you could colour it in? :D

That is not a very ugly sketch. That is not even a remotely ugly sketch.

Guybrush and Elaine look Australian, though

[Lennie Melvin]

Guybrush and Elaine look Australian, though

What's wrong with Australians?

[tbm1986]

What's wrong with Australians?

Nothing, except they only fit into MI if they're Ozzy Mandrill (even then, not particularly well, seeing as Australia wasn't colonised by Europeans until the 1800s)

[pilouuuu]

What's wrong with Australians?

I guess it is some kind of trauma for Ozzie Mandril.

Sorry to be a partypooper but you've turned the surgeon Latin.

[And he looks like an ex-girlfriend of mine in a judge's wig *shudders*]

[Secret Fawful]

Hmm, I don't see it. I base a lot of my illustration style, not just pirates, off of one of my favorite artists, Brett Helquist. Because of that I tend to make noses and chins in Western style artwork pointier than normal.

NOTE: This is by Mr. Helquist, not me, and it's an example, not MI fanart.

I didn't know where else to post this, I don't do much art and it's not really monkey island related I decided to draw it before I went to bed. I'm not really an artist, wouldn't call myself one, used to but that was a long time ago when I actually did art. I drew this tonight and I wanted to share it with someone. It's just a sketch before bed time.

He does illustrations for A Series of Unfortunate Events and Captain Hook... not sure what else.

[S@bre]

This isn't strictly fan art related, but its art related.

Does anyone know of any high-res versions of Elaine concept art for Tales of Monkey Island? Like a complete version of the one on the main page at the moment? (http://www.telltalegames.com/) I had a quick trawl through the Private Pirate Club, but didn't find anything up to the point IE crashed because it doesn't like the TTG VIP sub-site.

Looks ok as it is with the cam, man :). These two do look like Natalie Portman.

[tbm1986]

The one in post 1,048 is private too

[doodo!]

LOL! I think it's fixed, now...Thanks for the comments, it does personally mean a lot to me. I'm not the best at giving coherent insights into others art work but I know it means alot to me personally to get a comment. Have a nice day and thank you for looking. I think I'll draw a Indiana Jones meets Monkey Island poster.

[Secret Fawful]

Is the rest of his art as awesome as this?

Yeah but he mostly does children's book illustrations, as mentioned above, like A Series of Unfortunate Events. I think he has much much more potential with the style he has.

I still can't see it, which is a shame (because you CAN draw)

[Maxilyah]

Here are a couple of Guybrush pictures I did. As you can see, I used no reference, but I think they came out pretty good. Both of these MAY contain spoilers.
Yeah, I'll try and get some REAL art up soon. ^.^

Why, thank you! :) I'm quite content with Elaine myself, it was Guybrush that came out rather ugly. Yeah, maybe I'll color it some day, once I figure out how to improve Guybrush, and of course, I'll need time and muse to do it.

That is not a very ugly sketch. That is not even a remotely ugly sketch.
Thank you! That's the second biggest compliment I've ever received! :D

Guybrush and Elaine look Australian, though
I never even knew people could look Australian...? :confused: Or cartoon / video game characters for that matter.

@doodo!: Nice portraits! I look forward to seeing your portraits of Guybrush and Elaine soon! :)

You should artists are like puppies they aim to please if someone likes their stuff they want to hear it... artists share their stuff to please others or we wouldn't bother doing art for free on fan sites....

But there is a place for constructive criticism too... I personally do not like ragging on peoples skill level because that isn't fair... but lets say someone makes Guybrush's coat green its ok to say "hey I'm pretty sure GB has always worn blue coats."

But skill level takes practice some art here I have seen and thought yuck but you know what at least they are sharing and getting some tips and not giving up.... and I'm sure some people with more skills than I have thought the same about my art.

[EllisonPav]

I couldn’t resist. :D

After the end of Episode 2 and the third “I wonder what happens” I’ve felt the urge to draw some fan art!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/ellisonpav/tomi_whatsthat.jpg

In this sketch, Guybrush, Morgan and Winslow are looking at something inside the giant manatee…

quick paint sketch ~30 minutes

i was thinking about what if the pox ends up taking over guybrush completely and since he was the first to get it, it turns him totally evil and HE becomes the villain

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f344/RamenThief/evilguybrush.jpg

we'd probably have to help lechuck solve the puzzles on how to beat evil guybrush lol

[Maxilyah]

^ This is brilliant.
Also, that'd be like a parallel universe or whatever it is they're calling those things nowadays.
And Ellison, I really like yours too. Guybrush's expression is priceless.

[EllisonPav]

Thank you all for your comments! :D
Duate, your sketch is great! I really like the lighting.
And about the game, I think we'll going to see an evil Guybrush like that sooner or later...

[Astro Gnocci]

This is really great Ellison :eek:

And duate, i don't like your idea, but the pic itself is still gorgeous ;)

I'm sure that doesn't quite hit the mark. Artists are... well, artists; what they draw always has their personal vision, and that means that, of course, there is an alienation from the original game art. For some, the goal might be to mimic the original games as closely as possible - that's OK. But if I wanted to draw Guybrush with a green coat, I'd do it. Others have given him a moustache, imagined him as a heroic, muscular figure; I particularly recall an Elaine vision in this thread which is just brilliant, although one wouldn't recognize Elaine because of the alterations. Doing this, reimagining the characters, is not only "OK", but very, very necessary in a lively artist community.

Constructive criticism is not criticism of the personalizations of a piece of art. It might center on technique, maybe on anatomy, picture composition and color schemes etc. Of course, that is exactly what you did not want: This is a critique that exclusively centers on the "skill level" of a certain artist. These tips and hints, however, are all more or less pro stuff and should be explicitly wished for by the artist. Apart from this, I consider this thread to be one of purely presentational nature.

Furthermore, expressed criticism, however constructive it may be, always stems from the feeling that one could certainly do better in certain aspects. It must always be kept in mind that this is always a perspective looking down on something, of superiority. I won't say that constructive criticism hasn't got a place in here, particularly if the art poster expresses the wish to improve, but... careful, careful, careful. People come here to contribute to something, and the main goal is enjoyment by all involved.

I have to say, this is certainly a strong favorite of mine in this thread, its simply captures the characters perfectly. I'd love to see a coloured version of this.

Colour would look good but it would eliminate the 50s/60s B&W film style (which I rather like)

[Astro Gnocci]

It would have been more intelligent for the reason for sucking to be for the contradiction.

"Artists should get constructive criticism about their work"

"But don't do it because it might upset them and they won't post any more of their artwork"

:P

LOL how did this thread become so hostile? I haven't been following it so I won't butt in too much but I love it when people tell me my work is COMPLETE GARBAGE, no really...because then I become obsessed to make it better in both of our eyes. I love my work too much to tear apart all by myself, I usually need some one else to tell me they hate it for me to try to make something for more ideal for us, just for the sake of sharing something. I still love my own art work, even if it looks flawed to others and I think every artist should love his/her art work even if it looks horrid to others. After all the artist has to be the creator and capture the spirits of others figuratively by asserting his own.

I agree with you doodo, I do the same thing. :)
I've done an exam this morning: the professor didn't like more than half of my paintings. This may hurts, but in the end, his criticism has been very constructive.
So, don't be afraid to show your work. Share what you love doing: drawing. ;)

Criticism is fine as long as it is constructive, respectful and not bashing. It makes you get better. The problem with art is that many people may be critic about it without respecting its creator's feelings and without the intention of positive enhancement, but I guess it's a part of life as many great creator were bashed on their early careers.

It's better to become more able to tell good criticism from bad one and to become more resistant to bad ones and simply ignore them, not just in art, but in life in general.

Anyway it's great to see so many talents here and those that still don't develop them fully, is great that they feel the confidence and will to share their works and are having fun in the process.

[Vainamoinen]

Agreed! Good post! ;)

In this sketch, Guybrush, Morgan and Winslow are looking at something inside the giant manatee…

Wow, this is genius! :eek: Astonishing work, you did an amazing job at picturing each of the characters! I love it (and also your new sketches)! :)

I love his work too, so beautiful and I love how he captures his women and men's facial expressions and presence. He really knows how to put heart, person/character, feeling into his work. If Id didn't know any better I'd say he's the grandson of a famous German expressionist painter or sculpture dude.

Humans have come so far, and yet they still base so much on gender. There should be a neutral pronoun in all languages for a person.

On a forum like this, talking about what we are (and those of us talented enough putting forward what they do), gender has no place.

yeeees...but I'm still a woman :D
just kidding! anyway here in Italy, we have something like that. If you say "he's very talented" or "she's very talented" in italian it sound like "ha molto talento": we don't necessary need to put the subject. It's the same with "I love his work"/"I lover her work". In italian it is "Mi piace il suo lavoro": it's the same for both genders. :D

Did you sew that together? You do have a little bit of Guybrush in you, it looks like you have similar personalities.

You are a him and he, right? Wouldn't want to offend anyone again...:cool: You look ALOT older in the picture on this page though and more like Guybrush than you do in the other pics.

i know the other pictures are from a medieval festivel but the wig i bought looked terrible that day so i only used the one of a firend for a few shots...

even on the connichi(where the picture above was made,) my biggest problem was the wig... it just didnt look guybrushy enough...

Okay it's not completely finished, but this is assuming that the pox takes over our favorite couple and turns them into Fiery Demonic Pirate King Threepwood and Slithering Sorceress Pirate Queen Marley.

Wherever guybrush has hair it is flaming, his hand is rotting, has a scary hook, and im going to add cockroaches coming out of his sleeve.

[doodo!]

EllisonPav do you mind if you become an inspiration to my drawing style for a while?

[Avistew]

I agree with you doodo, I do the same thing. :)
I've done an exam this morning: the professor didn't like more than half of my paintings. This may hurts, but in the end, his criticism has been very constructive.
So, don't be afraid to show your work. Share what you love doing: drawing. ;)

Or you know, writting, making dolls, sculpting, whatever. You might be afraid of letting anyone see what you're doing but you'll stop making progress if you don't get criticism... if possible from people better than you and from people who don't do it at all (for instance, advice on a book from someone who doesn't write, but who reads a lot).

Learning to take the criticism is the hardest part. It can feel like a personal attack. You put your heart and soul into your creation.
But in the end, it's true, it might be crap. And if you know why, you can salvage it or do better next time.

I tend to dislike criticism such as "it sucks" or "it's great". Sure, the "it's great" is better to hear, but it's not helping. You might as well say nothing to me at all.
I'd rather hear what you liked (or disliked) and why.

Now let's go back to people showing off their art :P

[EllisonPav]

Interesting. Italian paves the way for us all!

And I do rather like your official term for miscalling/one-ringing/prank-calling: squilo (sp?)

"sorry for being early"?..uhm.. "scusa se sono arrivato in anticipo/prima/presto"
the correct word is "squillo" and yes, it is very versatile :p

I'd be honored! :p but let me tell you something: A really good exercise in order to improve your skills would be look and study the great artists of the past. For instance, do you like drawing horses? Well, take a look at Eugène Delacroix's and Leonardo's studies on horses. Oh, and study horses in real life too.
It's the same thing for humans. Take an artist you particularly like and look at his/her work. And so on. And study some anatomy too: it's veryveryvery helpful. :p

[Maxilyah]

You're right, Ellison. Now that I think about it, I've actually learned a lot about drawing from my friends who love to draw. AND from studying the things I like to draw up close. Having a good perspective and knowing where the light is coming from helps with shading, too.

I think Stan could represent Guybrush in court with all his retorical skills and arm-slinging!
It's a rough sketch, ofcourse:

Ooh, that's a cool looking Guybrush you did there, I love the parrot too. Stan and DeSinge are a bit too pretty for my taste, but girls are going to love them.

Great job.

EDIT: Just thought of something... Since Guybrush is tied up and all, maybe you should add a cork plug on the end of his hook. It would make sence and look funny at the same time.

@yoshiwam

Brilliant! I really hope that something like this shows up somewhere in the game.

It's actually likely. It would be one of the few ways to bring back Stan at such a late stage in the episodes - and Stan should have ended up a lawyer anyway; and with the trial undoubtedly being held on Flotsam Island, DeSinge would naturally be there. As for the identity of the Judge, I think we already had a name from the sign on the door, so one of the Goodsoups is probably out of the question. Good thought though! :D

@yoshiwam: Excellent composition, great drawing. No need for color or refinement, just do another one! ;)

it was intentional. throughout chapter 3 she kinda always had this wonky left eye, and i took it as just a part of her character. maybe she's a *little* insane or something, i dunno. but i definitely did it intentionally in the art

But seriously, fantastic artwork! A definite strong likeness. I like the humour, too.

As everybody seems to be doing Morgan I thought I'd have a go...

http://rockfootage.org//files/2/Images/Morgan.jpg

Morgan as she might appear in Monkey Island 2... retro style! I love making pixel art sprites - it's great fun only having tiny squres to work with and the limitations that entails, especially when trying to construct a convincing facial likeness.

I might try an animated version of her soon too.

Made using good ol' MS Paint.

You over did it in my opinion. You should download a program called LucasRipper, you can use it to edit sprites and view sprites from Lucas ARts games in your photoshop programs, it helped me make sprites when I used to do it.

Others may love it but it doesn't look right to me. :)

I finally put my finger on your number one problem, that is atleast in my eyes...it's no where smooth enough even for a sprite, it looks blurred. It's not as easy as you might assume but I can tell you catch on fast. You need more solids for one thing. It's a mastery of tones and solids and defintion with careful and sleek design, too many blocks and it looks like....a big mess. Could just be me but I don't think you've mastered it yet but it's a good start in my eyes, could be perfect to someone else...

Your work is awesome I just have an eye for those things. :D I think you did a terrific job. Personally I love it, I just could tell...it's not a bad thing, it's just something I do.

Your work is very strong and I can tell you've been self taught. I can do that some times just look at an art work and know things about the artist but it's by no means a slam to you ,I love it.

[Kroms]

This is kind of late, but Ellison Pav also had some excellent Grim Fandango drawings. I could post them here but I doubt she'd approve. Here (http://ellisonpav.deviantart.com/gallery/#_search/grim%20fandango).

I've always loved your creature designs, Pav! Weird but very interesting!

Seems like a lot (if not all) of the artists on here have a Deviant Art.
I love it. XD

That's really cool, I'd love to see other characters done with fewer pixels just like in MI1 & 2! I wouldn't mind seeing that shoulderpad stick out one more pixel though.

Well, with all the pixel art going on, I thought I better try one. Here goes for MI 1 Guybrush done in Cross Stitch, or as I like to call it, Paint-By-Numbers Embroidery. Except in this case, I put in the numbers....


850


This isn't quite finished. I really wanted to add in a Cross Stitch LeChuck but I can't find an image in the same resolution as this one. So, if anyone can find a good picture I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Another quick doodle. I should really try doing something big soon.

[BeeKay84]

I attempted drawing another scene from ToMI in CMI comic style, and this time, I'm quite content with how it turned out - well, except for the very poor background, but as I think I've mentioned before, I suck at drawing perspective, straight lines, ships or anything like it.

Anyway, here it is:
http://www.deviantart.com/download/139396157/Tales_of_MI_Sketch__The_Victim_by_beekay84.jpg

I hope you like it. I'm in the process of coloring it (without drawing new outlines), just to see what it looks like. Maybe I'll post that, too, then or I'll make a really refined colored version some time.

@Spadge: *lol* Very attractive! :D But seriously, nice one! Looks great, especially for a quick drawing. ;)
By the way, where did you get that avatar? Made it yourself from one of the others, or do they offer that many ToMI avatars now?

[TomPravetz]

My Santino art. Sorry. It was done fairly quickly.

hey guys!
here's something i did the other day. Its the ingame model of guybrush drawn and colored with gimp2.
i hope you like it :)

Here's the colored version of my earlier sketch - for those who are interested. Like I said, it was just a rather quick coloring job, done on one single layer:

"Guybrush Threepwood... I've been waiting a long time for this!"

now that your scene is colored it looks even better and especially very alive! great work!
and about the pony-tail ... i knew something was missing on guybrush ^-^ thanks =)

EDIT: Just noticed the clowds in the backround!! reminds me on the beatiful clowds in the MI3 skys ;P

[Majus]

Beekay, your coloring gets better and better! Very nice fanart :)

allright guybrush finally has his majestic pony-tail! :D

@Lup: Thanks for the compliment! :) Yeah, I really wanted to draw CMI clouds, though they are really hard. I do believe they have 3D versions of these clouds in Tales, too. ;)
And your Guybrush looks much better now - he actually looks perfect now! ;)

@Majus: Danke! :)

[Lup]

@ Beekay: also thank you for the compliment! :) / danke fürs kompliment :P

Ill try to do a sketch of Morgan next. the designers did a very good job with her ingame model, especially the face looks awesome. I wonder why elaines face is not that pretty... :rolleyes:

Wow, thanks! I love your works. Fisheyes is such an odd-looking guy, I just love the eyes and everything. I wish Guybrush took that painting as a souvenir and hanged it in the Screaming Narwall. Heck, I wish it was hanging from wy wall.

In fact, if I ever get enough time and willpower I might even try a short fan-comic about Alabaster... But only time can tell.

hahaha! that face-off doodle kicks so much piratey butt!! xD
arrr!
sucha refined art-style too <3 awesome work Spadge!

here's my expectation for Episode 4: trial & execution of Guybrush x3
I think Stan could represent Guybrush in court with all his retorical skills and arm-slinging!
It's a rough sketch, ofcourse:

EDIT: the judge could -so- be related to the Goodsoup's xD

This a really cool sketch and also a great idea for a way to bring Stan into the game!!
Kind of like a cross between Lional Hutz and Gill from the Simpsons...

Did you use the computer for these?

yes I paint on the computer using photoshop CS3 and painter IX I use a Wacom intuos 3 pen and tablet...... Making it look hand drawn on paper takes a little more time but I needed to for that Purcell look. (at least his comics)

I almost regret not making it normal morgan... almost..... But I kind of like the whole bride of LeChuck thing she has going on... she would make such an interesting evil character.

I was trying to do something a little different, but I'm also lazy. Your work has a lot of time and effort put into it. I mostly just focus on my college work. :)

Your work is amazing, I don't know what your profession is but you really got an eye for art and know how to mimick it and have a clear "communication" with it. You really "know" and comprehend art. You got a mind for it. When I saw you max art work I honestly was reminded of something or rather I've seen in the past by Steve.

You got alot of talent, but I liked your murray more because it was your own flavor as you mentioned earlier...still it's awesome to see you be able to do different things.

[tbm1986]

I have two great ideas for the Halloween Contest if anybody wants to take them on (PM me or email tbmoore1986@yahoo.co.uk):

One needs a competent Metal rhythm guitarist, competent also in audio sampling/mixing, in posession of the Sam & Max games and the necessary hardware

The other requires a good knitter who's played Sam & Max and maybe has experience & tools in papier macher


I'm only after being creditted for the idea, nothing else. I'll post more ideas as I come up with them. I'm happy to work with ppl who want to make something of these to get the products more refined.

I can not remember what the last thing I painted on canvas was....
Its just so much simpler to paint on my PC, no cleaning brushes, getting out or mixing paint and its cheaper too.

Its strange I do not own anything I have physically painted its either been given away or bought.
