Get a haircut & get a real job 08 Aug, 2009, 22:37 / 11 comments

A 'Guybrush Hair Patch' by Irishsmile and Riot23 has been released for the Secret of Monkey Island special edition.
Riot23 has taken my hair art and finished the mod. This includes all the sprites. Close ups are still unchanged though.
Guybrush
You can download it here. Just unpack and copy the "art" folder into the game directory.

And you can read about the patch development on lucasforums.

    I'm going to have to agree with the rest of these people, this actually makes me prefer the normal special edition look.

    It's way too textured for a start, does not fit with the rest of the game art style at all. It would have been better to completely draw the hair from scratch...

    That, rather than copy and paste the hair from the box art, with a few tweaks here and there :/

    I have no idea if it's C&P'd from the box - all the other angles definitely aren't.

    although i applaud the effort, i think the updated look is still not right.. too bad :o

    It's based on the hairstyle on the SoMI original box-art.

    heh.. Sorry, but I don't understand how this will increase my MI gaming experience. It's an adventuregame, not a fashion show!
    No disrespect to those who care about these sorts of things, though :)

    And there are plenty who do care 'bout the hair.

    Yes I know, but they're all idiots!!!!
    hehe.. just kidding! :P
    We just have do agree to disagree on this one.

    Great job on the hair placement.
    Now I see why LA decided to use that huge fro in the first place, to draw attention away from the face.

    Why does he have a straight line across the top of his forehead? That stands out like a sore thumb.

    Yes, exactly. Fortunately the side view looks way better.
