All screens are drawn free-hand. Feud time lapse video below. I save my work using a numbered file method (e.g. WIP 1, WIP2, etc.). All of these SCREEN$ files are converted to PNG, then into an animated gif (online app), and finally converted into a mp4 video.

Sterling work, as always. I wonder if the blue wizard's ear (and possibly chin) could be a little more crooked, in order to avoid the little bit of blue clash there?

Nice work!

However I must say one thing. This screen is redrawing of the original inlay and as a redrawing it's great. But this original Feud inlay doesn't seem right to me. It is made in silly, cartoonish style and for me Feud is not laughing matter and something more serious, mysterious and heroic (think of Boris Vallejo paintings) would be more appropriate.

Yet I'll repeat, this alternative screen is good, just I'm not so sure about the original.

Scorpion Swamp. Adaption of the Fighting Fantasy gamebook cover. Instead of a close match, I applied my own style, details and colours. The creature now looks more ferocious.... you decide. ;)

That is one ferocious monster! I very much approve.

Hi all! Sorry I haven't been posting new artwork here. My time has been even less awhile now ans mostly doing new screens for homebrew games. Since March, I've also been working on my first book that features all my pixel art to date (plus a few other bits and bobs). Scheduled for release late October, or maybe sooner. 😁

I'm sorry for keeping this thread quiet too. And is doing a lot of excellent work all the time, you may check it here:

I guess I have some Spectrum crisis now, can't find much motivation to make new threads and posts. And I don't want just to
repost Andy's pictures mechanically, they are all great and deserve some clever comment.

Wow. Some great work here.

This probably isn't allowed (delete if so) but Andy's book is magic :)

Looks like Andy is still doing great loading screens. The year 2021 was a bit quiet with only three screens but in 2022, after two months we already have five new screens!

The last one wouldn't probably be possible to happen in a real game but looks cool anyway :)

If you haven't already seen it on other social media platforms, below is my first personal screen of 2023. Fingers crossed I'll be producing more works this year, be it re-imagined/homebrew game loading screens or non-game related. :D

This piece is called Sunset Drive. Thumbnail looks awful lol.
