hehehe, i was from the Atari ST clan, and we never liked Amiga dudes.
On Atari, there was a programm called "Steve" in wich you could do black & white pixels only at something like 640x480. But i guess those diskettes are since long desintegrated...I never understood how people could do such relatively precise colors/shapes on amiga's/atari's WITHOUT a tablet/stylus....did u do that with the mouse ?

Wow that brings back great memories. There wasn't much I could find. One is an attempted design of a font. The other a sketch.

Here is where you can get an old version for use with an emulator. http://amiga.emucamp.com/dpaint4.htm

I just found a couple of my _really_ old pieces in a more desolate spot of my harddrive. Maybe 10 years ago or something like that, I used to make pictures (and animations) using one of the greatest painting programs ever: DeluxePaint! The images never got bigger than 320x200, because only then was it possible to take advantage of the insane number of 256 colors!

Anyway, I'm gonna post some of those oldies, if it's just for sentimental reasons.
This may have been my very first digital painting:

two more...

Is there anybody on this board who has old DPaint stuff to show?

Starglider:
Actually, I was using the DPaint-PC-version. Shame on me, hehe Wink

Never owned an Amiga, my one and only Commodore was a C-128...
As for the "technique" that I used for my stuff: I would lay down the major outlines very thoroughly with the line-tool. Then I'd start to fill in colors, mostly flat at first and then grading it to bright and dark, alway using lines and filling the resulting areas with the bucket-tool. Weird I guess, but then again, I didn't know better...

It can somewhat be seen here:

Baconboy:
Thanks for the link!
Cool picture. I remember having similar images with a whole lot of tiny scribbles on them, thus saving steps, while developing logos or characters. Ah, memories... Smile

Sure, still have a few old porfolio pieces from way back.

Wow, Scott, those look great! Shocked

Were they just for the portfolio, or did they actually get used in a game or something?

...
On a completely different note: Is it just me and my system-setup here, or are the first three posts in wrong order?

Thanks, Agrajag. They were just portfolio images done in the period right after I graduated, but before I started working. I sent out a ton of envelopes in '91 trying to get game work. I bounced around doing freelance prop design, I was a clown for a while, eventually ending up in Austin at Origin for a few years, now freelancing again. It's a strange ride.

Here are a couple more:

Finer:

You did that pic? Wow, that's freaky. I used to have probably the largest collection of Amiga art around, and I remember having that image in the set. I remember it well because the first version I got didn't have the credit at the bottom, so for a long time it was in the "UNKNOWN" part of the collection.

I'll see if I can dig up some of my old Amiga stuff.

WOW !
You guys are great.
Didn't know that you can make such cool images with Amiga/DeluxePaint

These are neat but there are much better works made with programs like dpaint or pixeling. Nice works.
