Monkey Island 2 Special-Uber Edition - Voodoo mama

This is my second try at turning a gorgeous MONKEY ISLAND 2 hand-painted background into a 2D/3D hybrid.
This was done for fun with a basic camera projection usually used in movie visual effects to enhance the original scanned 2D concept art (which had a resolution of 700x524).
Next step might be to get the 3d scene ready for real-time usage in CRYengine 2/3 :)

This is what the new Monkey Island games should look like. True to the original art direction. The new art direction is too cartoony any goofy-looking.

I like your Guybrush Threepwood character design better than the one from the LucasArts Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition remake. The art direction there was just lazy and horrible.

[ANTIcoFilms]

is this the actuall design for the MI2 SE? because there were originaly going to make guybrush like that, but they way he turned out was great

@object404 yeah gotta admit ther was a certain charm to the almost olde school style illustration/painting look of the original verison of monkey island, with the talking heads, you got impression they was goin for semi-realism, like titles of some big Sword & sorcory epic or a book (see MI2 intro sequence for gud example) (making the juxtaposition of comedy better).... the cartoony style they pick didnt sit well for me, not saying bad, backgrounds were pretty good, but characters lost emersion

I like what you have done, but your font choices and how fast the text goes makes me hate what you have done, also, in addition to.
