Thanks, Ralf!

Here's another in my What if.... this game was released on the ZX Spectrum? It's First Samurai. An excellent platform game that I had on the Amiga.

Great screen and (why not?) a great idea for a game :)

Could you post the rest of these, or links to them -- as I've not sure I've seen them? That autumnal one is about to become my new Windows 10 wallpaper...

Scott.

Oh my - those are all just wonderful. I realise have actually seen Wintry Lodge before, but doctored with loads of game characters.

But anyway, now I have a new wallpaper for each season. Thanks Andy!

Yep, I added several Spectrum characters to the wintry scene and called it Horace and Friends Ski Lodge lol. Might do another like that at some stage where folks have to find and name the games the characters are from.

Thank you for your kind words! There are still around half a dozen other screens I've done for new homebrew Spectrum games awaiting completion before I post any of those. :D

The Warlock of Firetop Mountain alternative loading screen. I started this one back in May and it was almost confined to my 'unfinished pixel art folder. Eventually got in right frame of mind and started afresh. This one took in excess of 20 hours to draw.

Good that you managed to finish it :)

It feels very detailed and ornate, sometimes it's hard to tell what is what. But has its own charm.

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:
https://zxart.ee/eng/authors/a/andy-green1/qid:61297/

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.

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.
