Curse of Monkey Island box art in the new “Return” style.
Well, not Return to Monkey Island and not fan art, but…
I really like the original art more than the fan-art-CoMI-style. The latter one is too realistic, too dark and too “serious” for a comedy adventure game, IMHO.
It’s a style that reminds me of The Whispered World:
I would like a more realistic style in a Monkey Island game. I also liked the more realistic close-up portraits of some characters in MI1.
All that discussion about the art style made me read “SilentNose”
Now we’re talking!

The RtMI jail scene redone in the style of “Curse”:
In the post you’ll find also a version without the characters.
The more I see comparisons between the “old” styles and the current RtMI style, I like the latter more. The CoMI style looks like a (generic) TV cartoon, the “new” art is, how should I say, in some way fresh and new.
No need to hate on Curse.
No, no! I really like the game.
CoMI had its own graphic style. But it was inspired by classic cartoons and RtMI uses a style that isn’t used often - and that fits to the MI world IMHO.
