Default The Legendary Monkey Island FanArt

For those of you who were not a part of the Monkey Island community back in the days, there was a lot of fanart, as can be seen here

I don't know about you guys but I got inspired right away when I saw the Tales of Monkey Island footage and I've been sketching like a madman the past two days.

Any artists in here? I'm curious if we'll see some new ecxiting work. And I of course hope dat some old favorites like Ado will come back to make some more masterpieces

I looove making Monkey Island fan art, but I don't think it's kosher anymore. Not that it ever was.

This is one really cool fanart:

LucasArts should have hired him to make the new "Secret of Monkey Island (Special Edition)" cover artwork, instead of the odd character designs seen here:

I'm still secretly hoping that Paco will someday finish his Secret of Monkey Island comic someday, and if Tales doesn't get him inspired, nothing will.

Tales has pulled Paco back in to some degree, as he and Dalixam are working on www.talesofmi.net !

They don't have the artwork I used for my avatar . I lost the file on my hard drive ages ago and can't remember where I got it from now...

I just preordered My copy of Tales of Monkey Island and I decided to go to forum...and what a pleasant surprise.

Thank you Junaid for all those kind words and hopefully sometime soon I'll do more work.

But in meantime, I'll post a three pages of my sketchbook, where each page continues into another. I hope you guys will like it...

I love Paco's comic. Maybe if he finishes it he can get it published through Telltale (with LA's permission of course)

Haha indeed! I'm seeing lots of familiar faces around, and both World of MI and the SCUMM Bar have re-launched or started new sites. Good times.

Your MI art was and is some of my favorite! I hope you go against your own (better?) judgement, and make some more someday.

This isn't exactly fan art, but it's related enough that I thought I should post it here rather than make a new topic.

This was sketched for me by the one and only Steve Purcell at San Diego Comic-Con 2007.

Just for fun, I whipped up a 2D TMI Guybrush Threepwood.

Those sketches are brilliant, Ado. I especially like the panoramic view.

I have an abundance of Monkey Island themed doodles from over the years:

^ This was an idea for Guybrush turning Murray into a key-ring which he could hang from his belt. I thought hearing Murray's responses about becoming an accessory would be rather amusing.

Jake: Thanks... I think I'm slated for EMI secret history article header image, so I guess I'm bound to make one soon anyway. :P

Excellent news, and I will begin working on TalesOfMI.co.uk - I owned and ran EscapeFromMI.com back in 2000 - 2003
