A Journey Into Early Amiga Graphics

CodyJarrett · 29 September 2002, 22:29

Yup, we all used Deluxe Paint and other such packages when we first got our Amigas. For me, it was a very creative period - Deluxe Paint, Imagine, Scala, Brilliance, Image FX etc. (to mention just a few graphics packages).

This is a sample of my early (and, yes, I mean early!) graphics work!

This artwork was in Amiga Power issue 30, page 66. It was a Special In The Style Of, where you did a picture 'in the style of something else'.

I did Lemmings in the style of movies. Only the Scanners and Die Hard pics got printed. Here is the full thing, for the first time!

This was a combination of bad DPaint artwork and a Vista background.

This was during my 'ripping screens from movies with Vidi Amiga 12' period.

This was, er, a skeleton in a coffin (from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly) holding a copy of Amiga Power.

An exercise in perspective?

Cool thanks

that was a nice look and a sort of "Step back in time" view of things yoiu have done

I like the night view

I really liked the Lemmings. Don't know scanners though but the others were quite well connected with the movies.

And the skylines. Did you draw those or was that a primitive digital camera?

Yay :hoo I just looked at this thread and I just couldn´t resist to grab out my own old picture disks I´ve found recently

@Cody

This is really cool retro-stuff and these are those things that remind me of those great days ! If we only could turn back time

Anyway, hope you don´t mind that I also post two of my not finished gfx here, so that I don´t have to open a new thread on this one

Here´s the first ....
