Comments are of course welcome, even after such a long time. If you have a DA account yourself, please also don't hesitate to verbally clobber my present journal entry. It isn't posted on this forum for a reason.
Now for all you artists out there...
@ AdoC:
I love these sketches. Brilliant sense of perspective, very interesting cross-hatching and textures, and no shame at all to go playful if you feel like it. The first image is my favourite because of this.
Your colored ones show even more skill. That's Fester Shinetop reinvented. Facial expression, lighting, gesture: Brilliant!
@ Masquerade:
What an effort! You're focusing on almost emblematic drawings, and there are so many of them; in what time frame were these drawn?
@ Irishmile:
I like the textures of this first piece, and the Island one as well. They are just big enough to be felt by the viewer. When did you do this, and what have you drawn since then? I can't look at my own drawings from a few years back... I feel they're too embarassing...
@ Monkey 05 06:
That would be just like me. At first, I couldn't think of anything to draw on that "artPad", and by default it would be Monkey Island fan art. Like it!
@ Micki!:
Ah, decent semi-lascivous Elaines in many poses, just what we need. Read all the literature about it.

Decent anatomy knowledge, CMI resemblance and a great line - pro stuff!
@ skylebones:
I really wonder why LEC artists haven't thought of this earlier. This looks so right! ;-) Great LeChuck!
@ Majus:
...posted the first real TMI drawing on this thread. Well, you're my hero since the (German) Flash movie anyway, which I saw quite a while ago.
@ Jayel:
Thank you: Great way with colors, great contrast, great mood. It's what, in my opinion, the first TMI scenes really lacked.
@ jp-30:
I'm still waiting for Lego to release a MODERN pirate themed... well, that's another topic. Your effort is very visible in these - makes me wish to be a child again, take up some figures and just play in this gigantic Melee town...
@ Duate:
Nice perspective, good color choice. Have we ever met the monkey on Guybrush's shoulder? Doesn't look like a monkey wrench to me...
@ Paco Vink:
Very individual style, great art. You have so many things just nailed down, I envy this. I wouldn't necessarily recognize Elaine, though - still, that's the danger with new art paths. Love it!
@ Samas:
In one of the most beloved art instruction books, Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", there's this great experiment called "Recalled childhood drawing". You might want to try it sometime. It might be more interesting for you than for others.
@ Welshy:
Great coloring efforts, very cell-shade-y. I also like your limited color palette.
@ Todesreiter:
PLEASE tell me where I can get that monkey. Want it!!
@ Hoppy dragon:
So I really COULD have played CMI on my AMIGA. Why didn't anyone tell me? I could have skipped buying a PC for another six years straight! I'd really like you to elaborate on where'd you get that idea. Must have been a strong urge...
That's it for now, been through the first six pages of the thread. I will get to more later.
