Telltale Games

Sausy Gibbon · 03/25/2011, 03:21 pm

Looked at the concept art thinking Max was playing the kazoo then realised it's his little beard.

Gohaku · 03/25/2011, 06:55 pm

Yes! Thanks Jake! Winning!

By the way, who drew these? Forgive my lack of info.

**Jake** · 03/25/2011, 10:18 pm

They're all drawn by our concept artist Ryan Jones, except for the color tests which are painted over rough-stage game environments by Derek Sakai, one of our art directors.

How about Monster Max? is there any concept art for him?

Oh gosh, seconding this. And how about that art used in the icon for 304? The Sam clone one?

Falanca · 03/26/2011, 03:39 pm

Yep. I've digested them all. Bring in a second batch please.

Oh I'm SO spoiled.

Any chance we could see some concepts of Baby Amelia Earhart? Do you have any of Bosco and Momma Bosco's ancestors from the old country?

Baby Amelia might exist. Ancient Boscos... why would they exist? Were they mentioned in the episode, or mentioned as something in an early design? I don't think they were ever drawn, if they ever existed.

The Bosco's were mentioned in the commentary of Tomb of Sammun-Mak, as a concept that got rejected. I was curious if there ever were any designs for those characters.

**Jake** · 04/02/2011, 11:27 am

Ah, crazy! I didn't know that (didn't work on episode 2 much). I don't think they got as far as being drawn, sorry to say.

Awesome. Thanks for replying, and great job on Season 3.

May I ask what software does the art team use to color the artwork? Or is it done by hand? Sammun-Mak/Max looks really nice here.

Its handdrawn pencilwork that is scanned and then colored in Photoshop, which is always mind-blowing to me

Haha! I figured as much, it is pretty amazing. I do some fan work using a similar program known as GIMP. It's not nearly as powerful as Photoshop however

Thanks, you've been great with replying to all of these comments! Could I ask one more question? To get your opinion on something?

coolguy721 · 04/04/2011, 01:22 pm

damn i never thought this would actually happen

Yes.

That was kind of a waste of a question though, don't you think?

that1person · 04/08/2011, 10:19 am

Wonderful drawings.

I actually love the drawings more than the 3d-graphics. It takes me back to the late 90's click-and-point adventures with all the crazy objects and backgrounds. My favourites are the arctic circle and the clone chamber. Amazing!

Aha! You're right... Apologies

Well my question, as it relates to Sam and Max, is this; How do you like my Max impression?

Just curious to know. I'd really appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

Sorry if this is late, but is there any art for Noir Sam?

queen_of_the_lobsters · 04/26/2011, 11:27 am

Okay this is REALLY late, but I always wondered what that scrawl was in Papierwaite's diary. I tried to read it but all I could understand were the "Mr. Bossy" and "Bigger Spell=Answer?" comments. Is it real words, or just chicken scratch, and if its the former would you mind posting what embarrassing poetry and schoolboy crushes were written in there?

I just love Ryan's work. Every so often I thumb through the Tales of Monkey Island Art Collection and am mesmerized by them.

It would be cool to also have the S&M concepts as printed collection but I guess nobody has the time currently.
