I have had a really hard time missing my late brother recently, maybe because of my birthday being so soon, so I decided to do something more productive than crying myself into a migraine - and I doodled something he would have loved very much
Nothing much else to say but to openly admit this one scene was absolute pure joy. After so many years, to go back to where it all began, it was just perfect 💕
All the thousand things I love about Return to Monkey Island ❤️
Guybrush in a dress from Monkey Island 2, Max from Sam & Max, and Leslie holding Broom Alien from Zak McKracken - and if you have no idea who they are, this is your sign to play the game, go to Mars and meet them
And we get started with a brand new set of Doodle O'Clock with Paul Rudd. Who happens to be the one actor I think would fit the part to play Zak McKracken in a movie
Elaine from Return to Monkey Island is my favorite Elaine from all Monkey Island games ❤️
There is character growth making this version of herself the most versatile yet, her dynamic with Guybrush feels much more natural as friends and partners too
I feel kinda torn with this one as it is almost feels like a cursed image, and at the same time it kind of makes sense haha - Max with rubber hose style shoes now exists out of my head
"Zak McKracken wouldn't get the same attention as the earlier game Maniac Mansion or the later game The Secret of Monkey Island, but it would still develop its own fan base that loved its unusual sense of humor"
Zak McKracken fangirl here reporting for duty salutes
I could just not move on with my life until I would fix the perspective on this one. My migraine was so bad it would just not process perspective at all
It is still all sorts of derpy, but at least it's correct now haha
Monkey Island love tonight. Here we have a mischevious LeChuck flicking a spooked Murray. In my mind Murray has been screaming like a little girl the whole time I've been doodling this haha
I survive the heartache of grief with love. That is why I choose to celebrate the nostalgia from better days, and therefore, my love for LucasArts and Nintendo is endless.
In Return to Monkey Island, right at the beginning, you get to see a tiny cute little owl - this in my eyes is a Sierra reference to Cedric the Owl from King's Quest
One of the many things I love about Monkey Island, all the cool references ❤️
One of my favorite puzzles in Return to Monkey Island was the mop quest
Not only it was hilarious (poor forest critters lol), but also a series of fun achievements like Mop Heist! Which single handedly inspired a personal favorite RtMI doodle ❤️
