So, you wanna be a Hero? - Page 2

Bobske · 04-26-2007, 01:56 AM

Indeed, very cool!

Unfortunately, it also reminds me of the fact that I have to (re)play too many adventures

AFGNCAAP · 04-26-2007, 12:22 PM

Awesome!

I especially like all the small touches and interactions everyone keeps mentioning, like the melting Klaymen (I haven't even noticed that until Ariel pointed it out), or Bobbin's thread.

I am also curious about the bottom right corner crowd, ie. the "statue", the girl, and the guy in the yellow hat. (I do recognize the lamp.

)

The Mutajon · 04-26-2007, 08:55 PM

Thanks for all the great comments

, I really appreciate them.

The Tiki monster and the woman holding the crystal ball behind him are both from 9: the last resort.
The "guy" in the yellow hat is the alien in the costume (you can see the alien's true eyes through the holes in the hat) from Zak Mckracken and the alien mindbenders...

AFGNCAAP, just out of curiosity, have you also noticed the totemization coins next to the lamp?

Yes. They're a bit small, so I wasn't completely sure if that's what they are, but that was my guess.

I'm only counting 39, unless that lantern is a character of its own somehow.

Dalboz, from Zork: Grand Inquisitor. (Well, he's trapped inside it).

Realy nice picture.
Who/what is the grog-drinking individual?
Who is the guy between Sam and Twinsen?
And the one by Twinsen´s left hand?
I dont recognize the boy between Guybrush Threepwood and the Jester from Kyrandia either.

That's Glottis from Grim Fandango.

April from Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, and she's not a guy.

Wally from Monkey Island 2.

After a brisk nap · 04-27-2007, 12:59 PM

Nah, that's the Hero from Quest for Glory I: So You Want to Be a Hero?

Awesome picture! There are a few I don't get. Like who's the pixely Sierra character next to Simon the Sorcerer? And this "Bishop Mandible" character, what game is he from? Oh, and the green dude by Malcolm's feet?

Thank you! Thats what I thought too, but since nobody reacted I decided I must be wrong.

A terrific idea for a picture. Thank you Mutajon!

Hey, just noticed I've gone from junior to just member.

He's the mapmaker you bring the map fragments to. Guybrush also meets him at the very beginning of Curse, though he looks a bit different then.

FinnDS · 04-29-2007, 01:05 AM

Looks awesome!

vivasawadee · 04-29-2007, 04:12 PM

Nice work, Mutajon.

I hope you don't mind me putting it on my wallpaper rotation.

Any more pictures in the pipeline? How about a villains version?

On the contrary, I'm honored

A villains version is a cool idea although there's already a few big villains in the current version...
