Turrican H.D fan art

Hi!

I don't know if this is in the right place or not (sorry admin!)

Here's a tribute piece to Turrican I drew over the weekend



This is a smaller version of the bigger piece:

I know some of you like this sort of thing. There are no plans to turn it into an actual game, it was just for fun!

Haha!!
That's actually a really cool idea! I will see about creating it someday in the future (I'll credit you with the idea)

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, it was great to read this when I got home from my day job

Sick art skillz you've got there, mate!

Some of the best HD retro art I've seen around. I especially love Turrican in that picture! Great pose and great detail.

Keep em coming!

Thanks guys!

I Know that you can't beat the real thing and those original pixels, but every now and again I imagine what they would look like H.D.
I'd like to draw a Speedball 2 one but I live in hopes that Dan Malone will go back to that series and give us HIS H.D art (which is just amazing, still!).
I think I will do a little more work on this as and when I have time, maybe draw some of the enemies and powerups etc.
I'll post them to this thread if I do

That fist looks sick! That's pretty much as close as you can get to HD graphics with the Amiga feel to them. Well done.

The Turrican dude is striking a bit of a Mighty Morphing Power Rangers pose though "Come at me fist-bro!"

Whoever owns the turrican rights needs to make a game that looks like this for modern consoles.

Thanks!!

Yeah, the pose just sort of happened, it was meant to be a doodle..but it got out of hand haha! I really am hoping to find the time to animate this guy running etc...but we'll see.
I was hoping to get this week off work so i could concentrate of various projects but my boss wouldn't allow it.
I am stealing an hour here and there to get things done, but it's great when I get positive feedback

Thankyou!! I am honestly over the moon with the feedback! I would be honoured if you want to use it for your background!

I am juggling a ton of projects at the mo, and unfortunately I don't get as much time as I would like to work on these types of projects but I strongly suspect I will be H.D-ing a few more Amiga Games in the future.
Here's a list of those I want to have a go at:

Speedball II
Chaos Engine (again, this time finish them off)
Xenon II (in Super Nashwan mode)
Shadow of the Beast (first game)
Gods
