Hate to be that guy, but you should probably redraw Elaine at some point. The angles of her head and shoulders are all wonky relative to everyone else.

LeChuck looks awesome
Meh Im thinking of it more like concept art.... if I was actually going to make new sprite replacements then I would do that.
Love your work, guys. Makes me soo jealous of your art skills I've never went past the doodle stage.
By the way, I've got a question for Junaid. Why have you drawn the spiral in the background of your pictures? I'm asking, because Monkey Island series seem to have a thing with spirals; they seem to surface everywhere. Done it consciously?

Yeah, ever since Bill Tiller's curly clouds in CMI, it's now common to put spirals on all things Monkey Island related. And although I'm not a big fan of the overkill of spirals in TMI and MI:SE (seriously, why on the knee and the chin of a man?!), I'm also not a big fan of empty backgrounds so I put them there because of the whole style

I've suspected it Bill's clouds pretty much made MI curly. And that's not all: I remember vividly the ships and trees in CMI, all winding and swirling. As far as I remember, they were also in voodoo-related things (swirling gas and so on). Apparently, they may have some spiritual significance http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/14/149.html
And in Tales, even Guybrush's coat has them
I like it, maybe add a third picture and shift them along slightly (so it fits of course). Just seems to me that the Voodoo Lady isn't the only other main character. Don't go overboard with them but I think it could do with just one more, 3 seems to make more sense to me.
Unless of course you didn't save it in layers and you have to do it all again, then don't bother :P
Edit:
How about that one? I think it would look best either in between Guybrush and the Voodoo Lady or on the right of them both. It wouldn't work on the left though due to how they are facing (and a flip is never a great idea when you don't have to)
okay i do it right now...:) I thought about more characters, but i didn´t do it...
15 Minutes later....
Okay here i´ve done it:)
i have to say, it looks better, but the guy (i do not know the name now, cuase i don´t have the game, but i will get it tomorrow... than my paypal conto wikk be aktivated (i hope) I´m so exited )
Yeah, I've got the high res concept art but there's a massive crease down the middle which throws everything off.
I wouldn't say it accomplishes nothing though, I can still pan around it in 3D, there's the lighting and things I can tweak, and it's getting me some general practice in 3D modelling.
edit: uggffff i hate sounding defensive like i can't take critique. i guess i'm just trying to say i'm not going for a professional mi2 special edition look. i'm just messing about with what i've got and seeing what happens.
I freakin love your drawing, Ayato :eek:
I'm not a huge fan of the way guybrush looks in Tales, but your version is really great.
And LeChuck ain't bad, too

Hey, I think you have every right to be defensive. I would have been XD It's not very nice for you to put work into something and then have someone tell you it "accomplishes nothing"
and I wouldn't really call that constructive criticism either. I think it looks great! Make an animated gif to show off its 3D look
Hehe, thought I'd join the 3D frenzy with a pre-alpha pirate 3D model. There's not much there yet beyond the basic shape (he hasn't even received his second eye yet), but what the heck, I still think it looks nice (keep in mind I just play around with modeling tools around once a year and never, ever use them for my daily work)

Edit: OK, I was trying to draw him cutting a piece of wood... and damnit, I already know what you'll say after I post this.

Curse of Monkey Island Theme in osu!
The video I got had all the credits removed, so I had all these blank canvases... so I had all the osu! people draw pictures of pirates to put there.

Junaid your pictures are amazing, really love the Guybrush one!

Your style reminds me of Braid, I like this!

You've made him a little small I think, you should keep the head proportions the same :O a little more improvement and it will be perfect
Nowhere near finished yet, but it's coming along nicely, I think.
Credit for the idea to do this goes to http://www.loneclone.de/projects/monkey.htm
edit: here's another version with the bits which are fully modelled highlighted
Still need to fix some textures to work from other angles but I'm just going to focus on the modelling for the time being.

I think some things are a tad different than in the image I've been using, so I'll probably have to tweak the models, but it should work out alright.
I thought I'd contribute.
hmmmm more like a Predator
