Thanks! All my work including these mockups is in SCR on ZX Art here: https://zxart.ee/eng/authors/h/helpcomputer0/
This one caught my eye because it reminded me of an error, actually! I've been working on a sprite-drawing routine and a mistake caused it to draw the mask instead of the sprite. I liked the silhouette effect but never really thought any more of it; but I really like the atmosphere you've created with such a "simple" character. Overall the sense of light and dark in the scene is great. I can imagine animating the bright attributes to give the impression of dynamic water caustics (RTX Real Time Ray Tracing™, oh yeah!).
Thanks! I definitely prefer solid/silhouette type characters where there might be more colour clash but guess it depends on the game.flatduckrecords wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:58 pm

Anyway lots of inspiration here, nice work!
Fictional Cyberpunk 2077 title screen, for example, looks much cooler with animation. Also that Metroid mock-up screenshot looks surprisingly on point considering limitations, reminds me a lot of those official Hudson Soft conversions of Nintendo games for Japanese computers like PC-88.Thanks man!Grongy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 10:24 am Really great works, although I would also recommend author's original art, especially landscapes - his most recent screen "Lakeside" blew eyeryone's mind, instantly one of the best depictions of nature on Spectrum ever. There's a possibility that ZX-Art website might have its own animation format in the future, so it would be nice to see all of it animated here.
