LOL. That's because it is based on the actual recipient who I did this screen for. The original watercolour art was a Birthday present from his wife.

Great job! It all looks quite scary like some horror game but funny at the same time. Like some really weird dream. I'm not sure about the logo. Probably some comic style round a bit deformed letters would suit better the general style. To be honest, the logo nearly didn't go in as I almost forgot ...

I've always felt the MM loader is like the Queen's knickers - out of bounds, but this is a great screen. That's pretty much how I visualise the Kong beast too. I'd love to see the watercolour it's based on. Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed doing this one. Below is the original painting. https://s18....

Here's a commissioned screen I've just finished. Manic Miner. Rather than post the SP behind it, I'll post the link to the post on my FB page (it's a public page so if you don't have a FB account, you'll still be able to view it ;) ) Link to FB post: https://www.facebook.com/AndyGreenPixelArt/photos...

For me, using Chrome, there is always an horizontal bar on the bottom, with a big LOGIN and Create new Account, that covers 1/3 of the screen. There is no way to close it (even after pressing "Not Now", when it first appears). Well I can hack the CSS and make it disappear :D But the avera...

I would just like to suggest that you make the page public, so that anyone can enjoy you art. Currently facebook puts a nag screen in the bottom, that fills the entire screen once you start to scroll. This happens, if you do not have a facebook account or if you are not logged in. The page is publi...

I've already done that one lol

Thanks, Ralf! A couple of new ones added - Pac-man and The Chaos Engine. Yep, you read that right. I'm trying a new project called "What if.... <Game name> was released on the ZX Spectrum?". :D https://s13.postimg.org/uvvxbv0vn/image_9.png https://s13.postimg.org/eyx5eoawz/image_10.png

Great stuff Andy! Please don't stop :) If I may ask, what are your next plans? After much encouragement from many, I've finally set up my own Facebook page seeing as I can't do any pixel art at the moment. :) Feel free to Like or comment my page. There is also Amiga art I've done too. ;) https://ww...

R-Tape - yeah, I noticed that yesterday the images weren't there. Showing now though. Must had been a glitch! Well, showing on mobile.... https://s13.postimg.org/ce4ap2e9v/Screenshot_20180128-183531.png Ralf - pixel art is on hold at the moment. I lost my grip on a cup of tea and it spilled over hal...

A couple more...

This one is an alternative loading screen for Galaxian (Atarisoft):




Alternative loading screen for Invaders (Artic Computing. Also known as - wait for it - Space Invaders):

Back to my roots of doing alternative loading screens. This time for Maziacs. A game I absolutely loved on the Spectrum and ZX81 (called Mazogs). Below is my tribute to this brilliant game.

Nowt wrong with being honest with your opinion, R Tape!! I had several ideas floating around (lots of colour, actual background pic, etc.) but decided to keep to the theme and style of the comic (all in black and white so used minimal colours in the pic with the red/blue bars to give it a "read...

Thanks for the kind comments and Happy New Year to you all by the way! Re: Kane. I love how you guys have changed the skin colour which ironically, I had also played about with before I saw the amended images here LOL. Yellow does seem to suit the two characters on left while leaving the Indian in m...

Stoppppppp! Your mind is playing tricks on you now lol.

Yep^ I wish I could do a scene like this. For once the speccy palette has all it needs for a landscape - 5,1,7 for the icy exterior and 2,6 for the glowing warm shalet. http://stonechatproductions.co.uk/zxgames/gameimages/Andyscreenfound.png Here are the easy ones, are there any craftily hidden one...

Here's a new one. This time not an alternative loading screen. I use to do scenic pics on the Amiga and wanted to prove to myself I could do the same on the Spectrum. So settled for a wintry scene, added a few Spectrum game characters and named the pic, Horace & Friends Ski Lodge. See if you can...

A couple more I've done recently...

Hey up all! Thank you very much for the very kind comments. I really appreciate it! I use to do pixel art (both on Spectrum 48K and Commodore Amiga), all purely for own amusement. Sadly, the stuff I did on the Speccy are long gone. I had used OCP Art Studio and The Artist. With the Amiga, it was DPa...
