Let's have a wallpaper contest!

Yaaaay! And the winner will be chosen by the TTG Team! Yaaaay! And if you win you get a... ... a stupid T-Shirt!

Actually that sounds pretty cool! If it's a MI T-Shirt!

Mestafais · 06/08/2009, 04:18 am

We could have at least a gallery with the fan-made stuff. The albums of the forum limit pics on 800x600.

*Silverwolfpet* · 06/08/2009, 04:20 am

That sounds cool... Hm, should we talk to the guys at World of Monkey Island? They have a "Fan Creations" section.

Ne0n · 06/08/2009, 05:18 am

Everyone should have such T-shirt!

*Silverwolfpet* · 06/08/2009, 05:54 am

Where's the "and all I got was this stupid T-Shirt" text?

Ne0n · 06/08/2009, 05:58 am

That would be on the backside

What I like about Guybrush's appearance in Tales of Monkey Island is that Guybrush is clearly older - he's lived the adventurous pirate lifestyle for a while now, he's become part of the pirate community, and his appearance reflects this. It'd be nice if at some point in the upcoming series, he met a young idealistic youth who says to him "I want to be a MIGHTY pirate! Just like you!"

I loved the beard Guybrush sported in MI2! I sorta like his goatee from the new one as well, although nothing beads a good beard.

Only if its 100% cotton.

If you click on the image, then when on imageshack click it again, and you will get a higher resolution. Then look at the info-flap on top of the shirt.

I came across this site while looking up some old images for comparison's sake. I nice quick refrence:
http://home.comcast.net/~ervind/threepmarl.html

Whenever I play through MI2 I always find it strange seeing the enlarged shot of Guybrush on the pier with the fisherman. I think mainly because he has a fuller beard there.

I really like a lot of the concept art, and I can understand the descision to my him look more world weary. What I'll be interested to see will be if he's retained an element of innocence underneath that. To my mind he's still an enthusiatic kid beneath it all. (voodoo fairground or no voodoo fairground)

as far as the animation in this vs the previous games goes, a talented animator can bring life to anything no matter how much 'articulation' it has. look at Luxo Jr for a perfect example of that...

however, the more articulation built into the models, and specifically into their faces, the better. Tales has added more right? that gives the already talented animators more to work with. the animation wasn't BAD before and GOOD now, but the improvements to the engine now allow for a wider range of movement and will allow some subtleties to come into play.

which is good really, since this is the first time one of their series hasn't had a lump of plasticene, an anthropomorphic animal or a 2d flash animated something or other as the main characters.

love the concept art by the way.

Just WHAT do you mean by that? What's you're problem with W&G and S&M?

I don't think he meant anything negative -- W&G are originally "claymation" characters and plasticine is modeling clay, and anthropomorphic animal just means a character that is an animal with human characteristics.

Monkey Island will be TT's first game in which all of the main characters are basically human.

*edit* -- not counting CSI... or texas hold'em...

There are more versions of Guybrush, but those come later. Just wait.. bahaha!

That would be a nice easter egg ...

Can we have some more pretty pictures please? We are like insatiable, little, baby birds, begging for more ... regurgitated ... character designs ...? Okay, so the simile kind of fell apart on me, but you get the gist. Also, have you done any cross-IP doodles, like a zombie Le Chuck beating up Jurgen, or getting his groove on with the Voo Doo Lady at the Zombie Factory? And if you haven't, gee whiz! Wouldn't that be fun to draw?

HoppyDragon · 06/09/2009, 09:58 pm

I believe Ry said he was looking into seeing if he could get some time to whip up some original wallpapers.. so that could be keeping him busy.

that guybrush, bottom row, just to the left of the big guybrush on the right, THAT to me is a nearly perfect original "true" guybrush look.

I agree with growth, but prefer it having little to no real aging (at least in the generational scope), and more importantly Guybrush never actually having any credibility as a pirate. I just think it's way funnier how other pirates still don't take him seriously at all in MI2, lol. He's always trying to prove himself as a real pirate, and it just never works, he'll never fit in, but he manages to clumsily find his way to the finish line. He was never actually cut out for it. Even Elaine wears the pants. To me, that's central to his character.
