Steve Purcell reveals his third concept for the MI2 cover 23 Apr, 2010 / 1 comment

After showcasing first one and then a second of the designs he did for the Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge box art on his blog, Steve Purcell has now posted his third and final concept for the MI2 cover.

It's mostly the same as the finished painting, although in the early concept Elaine was also present. Purcell notes that he was unsatisfied with how she looked, and thus dropped her. (A similar thing seems to have happened with his drawing of Elaine on the pencil sketch for the Secret of Monkey Island cover art: he pasted a new cut-out drawing of her on top of the original paper sheet.)

This concept painting was previously showcased in the book Rogue Leaders, but now it's available to see for any of you penurious fellows who haven't shelled out the money for that tome.

    As a repository for rare LEC adventure art, Steve Purcell's blog is basically what Rogue Leaders should have been, except free.
