Okay, so I may have used the pirate theme for one of my inking assignments. I think before Pirates of the Caribbean (the movie) came out I had another mental image when I thought of pirates, and to this day I still think that's the most amazing pirate story ever told. I'm talking about the Monkey Island games by Lucasart (before all they did was Star Wars games). Monkey Island is definitely my favorite game of all-times. It was an amazing adventure game and the most important part: FUNNY AS HELL. I truly recommend this game to anyone and right now is a good moment to start because the past few years they released an special edition for the first and second game.
This game marked me so much that, after playing the third one, the art style really influenced the way I drew for a long time.
I know that, because I needed to take reference from a photograph, I didn't draw Guybrush (the main character from the Monkey Island game) but I also posted an illustration I did a few years ago as a fan art of the game. I hope you enjoy it!
YESSSS! Jorge, these are awesome. I really love that B+W piece. That's fan art? When you get tired of it, maybe we could do some sort of art swap? I want it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dove! No, the B+W piece was an inking exercise with the quill. The one with all the monkeys is the fan art. AND YES, I would totally do that art swap deal!
DeleteThat last drawing is SO Fabio Moon/Gabriel Ba that it makes me fall in love with you all over again.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA That's the most romantic thing anyone has ever told me Phil! thank you!
DeleteMonkey Pirates! That's beautiful, I'm curious about the game now. You're monkeys are so fun, angular and extreme--it works!
