Monkey Island Fan Art - Best of the Best!

My latest Kotaku article was I Pitched a Monkey Island Movie to Hollywood - a tale of courage, loyalty, sadness, and sacrifice. Well, sacrifice not so much, but all those other things, definitely. The response I received personally was mind-blowing. People shared their Monkey Island love, stories, and support - even my hero, Ron Freaking Gilbert, complimented me on the story and thanked me for being such a dedicated fan, because without psycho-loyal fans like me, he would, and I quote, be working at McDonald's. I love that man.

My original plan for my column was to use a few of my favorite pieces of MI fan art, but in the end my editor and I only ended up using one. BOO!!!

HOW. EVER. I love MI fan art SO MUCH that I'm going to flaunt my favorites here for your extreme viewing pleasure. They are so extremely kickass.

This is the only piece of art that made it into my finished article. By Miki Montlló

My absolute favorite fan art piece of all time. "Blue" by Dan Lee


The above pieces by the very talented Anna Lee.

"The Horror of Monkey Island" by DominusElf and LeChuck by Dan Lee.

  1. Fantastic art! Gotta love passionate fans, gamers don't seem to lack creativity. Maybe exosing ourselves to well crafted virtual worlds might have something to do with that.
