Not that I would know a lot about this but I'd assume that's the animators job. Ryan's the concept artist. They only animate the 3D models based on Ryan's concept art.

True... I asked the question in a wrong manner. I meant: How exactly do you collaborate with the animators? How do you help them?

sry for the misunderstanding, and thanks for pointing that out.

Hi there,
At any stage did you consider a more "realistic" style for monkey island,

Back in the day when graphics were more pixelated, i found in my own experience that i would mentally project how i though the characters should look onto their pixelated forms when i played the game, and the magnificent cover art done by steve purcell facilitated this.

I would have loved if the same style as monkey island 2 was used again at some stage, dark dingy and mature.
Was this style ever considered, or was it taken that the CMI and EFMI set the precedent to how the series should continue.

Thanks for your time

When we started doing some initial research in the early stages of design, we found that fans gravitated to MI2 and MI 3 as their favorite art style. Some people thought that the first two game set the mood and style perfectly while others thought that CMI took the artistic vision to new heights! We decided early on that we would try to get the best of both worlds! We took our design cues from those 2 games and let them heavily influence our style while allowing Ryan and the other artists to put their own creative touches on the art!

^ Neat. From what I've seen, it looks great!

Gryffalio · 06/22/2009, 12:13 pm

You've done it almost perfectly, I reckon

This thread died 2 days ago O_o', i want more concepts ^^

hplikelike · 06/25/2009, 06:56 am

Or at least rejected ones that have no chance of being in a future game...

Please?

OCKi · 06/25/2009, 07:23 am

Found this on Facebook. Looks brilliant! =)

Also, Steve Purcell added these old CMI concept drawings of Lechuck, Elaine and the Voodo Lady on his blog a couple of days ago.

Looking forward for his ToMI coverart! Hope it's as epic as MI1&2.

Nice finds! I like the new Elaine's hair.

Wicked Mouse · 06/25/2009, 05:19 pm

She looks sweet

Jexxer · 06/25/2009, 07:10 pm

I like how her engagement ring was turned into an earring. Impressive though it may be, I'd imagine it's just too awkward to do any serious pirating (or anything at all) with a rock that size weighing down your hand.

*Ry Guy* · 06/25/2009, 10:57 pm

I'm not dead! Just tired.. i'll post a picture of LeChuck tomorrow. Long live undead pirates!

Jexxer · 06/26/2009, 07:18 am

Yeah! Or maybe long unlive undead pirates, or long die undead pirates or...something!

Just yay for undead pirates!

*Ry Guy* · 06/26/2009, 09:10 am

I colored a version of Lechuck that is close to whats in the game. I like LeChuck.

Whoa, awesome.

*Silverwolfpet* · 06/26/2009, 09:18 am

Wow! Brilliant! I really like the beard effect! Swirly... ooooooh...

Jexxer · 06/26/2009, 10:33 am

Yikes!

That is just made of awesome. I especially love the Glowing Beard of Voodoo.

He's got hypno-powers in this one, admit it!
