Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
Great stuff as ever!
( Okay, Pacman is a bit simpler than your usual stuff )
And sure, don't be afraid with loading screens and mockups for games that never happened. It would be cool to see them harnessed in a grid of Spectrum attributes

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
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.

I like the idea!Andy Green wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 5:57 pm I'm trying a new project called "What if.... <Game name> was released on the ZX Spectrum?".
Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
Neat. I'm sure you've got projects and requests coming out of your ears but I'll mention one that needs some love just in case it tickles your fancy - Splat!
Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
Nooo...! OK, so there's no fancy picture, but I always loved the use of FLASH on that screen...

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
The page is public and displays ok on my mobile when not logged in. I can see all comments, photos and videos. I closed the nag screen that appeared at bottom of screen first. Not checked on PC though.RMartins wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 8:15 pm I would just like to suggest that you make the page public, so that anyone can enjoy you art.

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
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
But the average web surfer will not know how to do that.

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
Yup. Know exactly what you mean. I checked using a different browser on my PC without logging in and there's that lovely big bar at the bottom. That's Facebook for you lol. Nothing I can do personally to alter that as the page is already public (anyone can see it but to make a comment or Like posts. log-in is required).RMartins wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 8:23 pm 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.

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
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 )

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
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.

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
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.

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
To be honest, the logo nearly didn't go in as I almost forgot all about it having removed it from early work in progresses! I was intending on having the logo vertically on the left but was running out of space for the main picture (this can be clearly seen in a timeline video I did). As it was a commissioned screen, I had to match the original artwork as best I could. Fortunately, the recipient is absolutely overjoyed with my work. As I am too lol.
I don't know if videos can be uploaded here but hopefully you can see it in this link: https://www.facebook.com/AndyGreenPixel ... 03/?type=1
Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
New stuff. As Andy seems busy with drawing, I'll do the job and post them

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
Firetrap has a cool artwork so it deserved a cool loading screen. Great!

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
First time I've seen this Manic Miner one. It's a typically-great Andy conversion of the original watercolour but Miner Willy in said watercolour bothers me plenty. It's not how I imagine him at all. To be fair, I'm not sure *how* I imagine him but... it's not like that. But I think it's the platform that bothers me most: I don't think there was a single white platform in MM? I stand to be corrected, of course.
Retro stuff, real quick

You're right, you'd think the Cold Store might have some but no. There's one to store away for the world's most obscure pub quiz.5MinuteRetro wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 10:42 pm I don't think there was a single white platform in MM? I stand to be corrected, of course.
Does the same go for JSW? (No peeking!)
Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
He has quite a belly on this picture I've never imagined Miner Willy being fat.
Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
True, I've never pictured the character in reality, but if I did he wouldn't be plump.
I remember seeing a painting by Vidar Eriksen (I think) portraying a gaunt and ashen miner, which may be more accurate given the trials he's been through.
Does anyone know the picture I mean? I can't find it.
Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
While searching for Vidar Eriksen's I found this painting called Manic Miner:
I contacted the artist to see if it was based on the game but he said it was only partially inspired by it but not a direct reference.
Still I feel it captures the raw essense of Miner Willy's suffering.

I'm gonna jump over your heads, Fathafuxers! Something related with parkour epic fails. Maybe add bruises, lumps and a toothless mouth
