The idea was to make a ‘wall of babies’ as a texture, inspired by HR Giger’s familiar work:



The PETSCII version is done from a sketch with Marq's PETSCII editor that allows a reference image. The charset version is done with an aim of tracing the original by hand. No workstages were saved.

This was meant to be used in our demo Skybox but since I did not have anything else ready for Transmission I decided to release this there and make something else for the demo.

However, it works as texture too:

@Madhead, yes that's a straight conversion out of Giger's original art while Babes is done from scratch.

Reminds me of Bebisar from Oxidy / Wrath Designs.

@ptoing Don't know about the release. At this point I just want to see it out someday. Anyway, releasing this at T64 means I have to work out another texture for the demo as we want it all to be unreleased stuff.

Seeing how this tiles it would be a cool demopart :D Scrolling around, maybe with an animated zoom. Cool stuff.

@4gentE - This is rough looking and too much for a lot of people. It ain't aiming for polished PETSCII but traces sort of realism. I've done several images with this approach. Most people seem to prefer clean stuff instead of this. I'm basicly doing these by 'squinting my eyes' and checking if it looks as it should. Btw, this is a texture so it loops both horizontally and vertically.

I don't understand why this style gets so little love.
