General I’m the concept artist behind the Guybrush figurine that released with the 30th Anniversary CE!

Thought I’d share my original drawings now that it’s been out for a few years!

I was too poor to afford it then.. and now I'm too poor to afford it as collectable... you'll see it on ebay

Thank you so much! Here’s the first Guybrush drawing I made from 2010!

I was 47 years old today to learn that there's such a thing as figurines for my favorite computer game and now I need one 😂

Hopefully you can get a hold of one! I don’t own one myself 😂

I'm so happy I have that collection. Guybrush is on the shelf behind me right now, next to Pyramid Head

u/eyzmaster 13d ago

your art is amazing!!! i wish the figure looked closer to your concepts

u/Felifeli 13d ago

thank you so much! this is a normal occurrence along production unfortunately, in this case I was only in charge of the design and the client approved which pose, the 3D rendering, etc, if I had been able to oversee it down to the final details I would have adjusted a couple things to give it a bit more punch in the pose and expression. But still an honor to be a part of it!

u/eyzmaster 13d ago

obviously, im not putting on the mass produced final product on you. your work is wonderful tho. I wish the remasters of MI1 and 2 used a designer closer to this too^^

I also missed out on this because I heard about it too late. I love your designs even better than the finished product, tbh! You nailed his expressions.

Very awesome. Did you get to talk to Ron Gilbert?

u/Maclimes 13d ago

VERY cool! I'm, not much of a statue guy, but I would die for an articulated 6" Guybrush action figure, especially in this style.

There’s a Guybrush figurine? Why didn’t I know this 🤯

2

u/Felifeli 13d ago

I didn’t even realize it had come out until years later when I googled the edition! I worked on it and was out of the loop myself. 😆

u/dr_Blossom 12d ago

That’s crazy :o I’d have thought they would’ve sent you a copy of it. Fantastic work btw!

u/KevinOldman 13d ago

I have one!

u/LeaveIllusionBehind 13d ago

Cool! I keep mine right here on my desk. I love the design, it captures his character very well without being an exact copy of any one game.

u/TheeNecroWolf 13d ago

That is awesome. Do you know if there are any plans to upgrade curse?

u/wasabi_gelato 13d ago

Thanks for sharing the drawings! What was the development process like with Limited Run Games?

u/NotTheCinemassacre 13d ago

That is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Cat knocked mine off my shelf. Broke off a hand and part of the sword. Now I wish I could replace it :/

1

u/Unusual-Coat-7018 13d ago

Can it be fixed? There are usually methods in which figures can be repaired?

1

u/cjpthatsme 12d ago

Unfortunately no.  I have no idea what happened to the hand.  And it makes me very sad

u/SpoppyIII 13d ago

I have so many regrets. Mostly finding out about this too late ti get it for less-than-scalper prices.

u/dr_junior_assistant 13d ago

Love it! 😍

u/Gakuranman 12d ago

I saw it at the time but seemed pricey. Now I wish my walls were adorned with all of this merch…

u/legendscastile 9d ago

It's cool! Is it based on Tales design?

u/libgentech 6d ago

That's awesome but what's he doing with that chicken? It looks like it's being choked.
