COMMISSIONATHLON Day 11 – Manny Calavera (Grim Fandango)
on June 16, 2011 at 10:57 amPosted In: Artwork, Commissionathlon'11
This image was a lot of fun to make, mainly because not only is Manny Calavera one of the best characters in the world of video games but also because Grim Fandango is one of the best games ever (I do so miss those point-n-click adventures).
Anyway, doing my research and gathering reference images for this commission, I couldn’t help but notice how little art there is on the web for Grim Fandango. Seriously, why aren’t people producing more fan art for this? Oh well, I had a blast making this one.
Thanks to the client, Mr. Matt. And as always, click the image to view a larger version.
Dunno if you’ve seen this, but if you haven’t, then you must:

“Everybody Needs a Ninja”
Hey it worked for Wolverine, why not Carlos?
apparently replied to the wrong post. Woops.
“that would make you twice as cool… and twice as OLD”
Is that a “2″ or a “Z”? :p
‘Cause both could work and make him twice as cool =)
“I’m not going to ‘Bust-All’ that.”
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
Next Commissonedathlon, I might hit you up for a LucasArts Adventure Games group picture.
Ahh Grim Fandango is my ‘Casablanca’ for video game, it would make a very good animation feature film.
Is there by any chance there’s a print for sale for that Manny poster?
