u changed the arm mate. the head chest and back and design are all directly copied from the turrican box art.
now i don't give a toss what gets pixel copied because to convert it is a design job in itself and always has been since the 80's but please, no holier than thou "i never copy statements" |

well, i took the time to put your piece of work over the original in photoshop. fits nicely except for the gun and the left shoulderpad (from the viewers point). my guess would be you just pixeled over the original piece in photoshop with some altering to the left side. since non square resolutions are no prob in ps it should be quite easy.
and yes, i am critical about copied pictures an if i come across one, it gets an instant downvote. good luck with finding any copied pics by me cause there arent any. some are crap, granted. but others i have put real effort in. unlike you nowadays(!).

@Ragarok: actually i read it quite well i think? first you post the source image like it was some kind of earth shattering discovery, then you post about my "suspicious work stages". Now "where i come from" that sounds very much like i am being subtley accused of something underhand. Like wiring for instance?
oh and as for copying. i do hope you have gone thru all the c64 stuff on here considered "classic" by all the "famous" names and suitably voted it all down too? because i think you will find that roughly 90% of it wouldnt count under your criteria. And i do hope that you are also so critical of your own stuff, because i can assure you that i will be :)

| @STE'86 you should *read* and then write your comment. as is stated, your technique is quiet good. i do not doubt that its handpixeled. but where i come from, an artist displaying a blatant copy would have been hanged and quartered. and right so. thats why i gave you 5 points (again, for your technique) |

@ragnarok LOL oh dear i've been "outed". i told you who the illustration is of, i told you where it was from. well done you googled it same as i did looking for a powerful 2000ad image that was "c64 capable". if you think i just "invented it" then more fool you. if i could just invent stuff like that i would be doing Carlos Ezquerra's job for 2000ad. it is however a hand drawn c64 rendering of that pose same as I and many others did of Judge Dredd, Halo Jones, Rogue trooper, etc 25 years ago. feel free to spend a week or two trying to wire it to a c64 before you realise it is actually pixelled by hand tho.

| Then it wouldn't be a standard Koala image. It's kind of like Ste's Highlander re-draw. He's done the Highlander text in hires because it does look kind of grim as is and I've done some code to just change to hires mode in that part of the screen but then it's not koala any more.. Ste's sig has been the same forever, doesn't really need changing. I'd certainly hate to see him go crazy like Bob :) |

At first i felt reminded of that Game Over titlescreen (prolly the same original artist, dunno what this 2000AD and Strontium is that you talk about! 8) but then i checked and it seems my memory of it was much better than the actual picture:
Game Over +1D

Whoa! Is this a new pic or just an improved old one from you, Steve? Really really effing nice work, man, love the pixelw0k and details on this one, I really do! This looks so much like these great 80s introscreens all good gfxians studied so hard - prolly because if's from the same guy, great to have you back btw (enough with the brownnosing, can't help myself sometimes, sorry! ;-) If that Gallery part in Dutch Breeze were made today, this would definately be in it!
I also love how you put GREYSCALE swirls in there as a tongue in cheek for that discussion... GREYSCALE is totally different than RAINBOW after all! ;-D
..and never get rid of that signature, simply ignore that guy! 8)

@Morpheus it's the same character but an entirely different pose. the original was an "action" pose, much smaller hence much more attribute clash (i didnt even know what that technically was then, just "something" kept changing the colours) and it was alot more "pixelly" because i was trying (naively) to replicate Carlos Ezquerra's drawing style on a c64 :)
@Tempest: Ocean? they never had a good loading screen on the c64 till SIT joined them in 88/89 :) (with the exception of Karen Davies and Stoo Fotheringham, but they were Denton/SFX)
@Wile: and if i had done the photo from the shining i would have got "it's just another movie copy" so basically i assume i can't win from you? :) |

Have to admit, when I clicked on Heeere's Johnny! I fully expected to be greeted by an image from the Shinning, showing Jack Nicholson wedging his face through a crack in a door. I was kinda disappointed when it turn out to be something else.
Good picture. Ive always liked the idea of batching 3 colours together in a uniform way. The 2 grey swirls look out of keeping with the rest of the image. |

| very detailed and perfected and also color separated very nice... love the image. Today I find this very true to the style of the c64... not trying to emulate a BAD pc display, I love that... I do not even think of it as old school, I find it much more modern than a lot of other arts here... also, when you use the color ranges here I think yeah why not, there must not be more in there as it defines the shape more. Very good direction with just making those eyes without more outer details, I would have failed there... he is there, standing tall and strong, would not meet this fella as a last level enemy. really cool. The signature is also very you so I find that good too, and you always place it in a good spot, not to much interfering in the overall graphic but still quite big and bald... |
