Sam & Max from the series of the same name by LucasArts. An anthropomorphic dog and rabbit detective team characters, or as they called themselves, Freelance Police, from the classic point and click games that had a lot of memorable humour to it.

I chose to have both of them together as they are, well, an inseparable crime fighting duo. They've got each other's back.



This was also a test for me to see if I could CALM THE F- DOWN and not push to get a ridiculous amount of detail in the skins. Simple, nonlinear shading and highlighting. I'm pleased with the result.

Comments, criticism welcome!


Update: Reverted bottom faces back to pre-release version until this viewer is updated.

Updated for new viewer that now complies with current Minecraft version Woohoo!

Cheers. I'm in the process of correcting my skins at the moment, as the bottom faces have been changed since the last couple of builds. Not a big issue to most, but it does look weird if you have details on the bottom parts that only go a certain way. They may look odd in the viewer here, but they'll look the way it should in game.


Wait... 60th diamond?

Thanks! It's quite an old game from the early 90's a few years before the Monkey Island series I think. Telltale Games released a new one on Steam a few years ago. Should check it out.


Or just youtube it lol.
