http://www.slowdown.vg/2010/03/11/monkey-island-2-special-edition/ A blog for those who spend more time thinking about gaming than gaming Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:45:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.slowdown.vg/2010/03/11/monkey-island-2-special-edition/comment-page-1/#comment-6333 The Artful Gamer · A New Bicycle? The Art of Monkey Island 2 Special Edition Thu, 20 May 2010 19:25:23 +0000 http://www.slowdown.vg/?p=4128#comment-6333 [...] So when the new cover art appeared recently for the upcoming release of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, I could not help but notice a stylistic change in the box art. I could not put my finger on it, but it felt like something was missing in the overall presentation. Fearing that this was mere nostalgia rearing its ugly head, I decided to do a side-by-side comparison of the old and the new box art, as well as some of Steve Purcell’s previously unreleased box art. I borrow some terminology from an art critic by the name of Heinrich Wölfflin to help out in distinguishing between the two styles. Keep in mind that I’m no art historian or critic, so any errors I make are mine alone, and not Wölfflin’s. Thanks to Martyn Zachary of Slowdown.vg for posting his own comparison.
