​Hand Drawn Artwork Category

Inspired by an unknown graffiti artist's piece, 320x240, Grafx2 on Amigaaaaaa! (1st place @ FlashParty oldschool pixelart compo)
Here's our best effort high quality submission for the AA2022 contest.
This masterpiece is called:

"The Quantum Portal opening and Retronic Energy surge at Billy and Tim's trial for not giving their souls to Scratches Poker and subsequent channeling of said energy by Helmet Guy. Circa 2022 (colorized)"

But you can just refer to it as "Retronic Energy Surge of 2022"
I am submitting this artwork of Dumbo on behalf of my 9 year old daughter Ella Boswell. She has taken an interest in drawing art on a graphics tablet attached to our Amiga and using Deluxe Paint V. She especially likes to demo this at the South West Amiga Group meets! I also include her Sorcerers Apprentice Mickey in case multiple entries are allowed. She also painting a really effective original piece using the pressure sensitive features of Deluxe Paint V and the Wacom UltraPad (we thank Mixel of 'Creeping Me Out' fame for his guide on the drivers). I therefore include 'Ella's Love Hearts' too! I've converted them to jpgs but they were all drawn on 'real' Amigas.
"NFT-Monke"

Created entirely using Personal Paint 7 and drawn with a mouse. I originally offered this up for sale of the original NFT (Normal Floppy-disc Transcription) for a bargain price of $500,000, but with the market going downhill, I'm willing to go down to 100K now.
A classic 16-color image of a heavily-expanded Amiga 500 from 1992, making the work roughly 30 years old, and well-suited for today given the release of the A500 Mini this year. Exact details are fuzzy,but I believe it was originally a scanned drawing, colored using Deluxe Paint 4.
A title card for a hypothetical short cartoon in the style of early 1930s works such as  Betty Boop. Scanned line artwork colored/toned in Personal Paint 7 and Photogenics 5, with text/titles added using Pagestream, and effects and 'antiquing' done with ImageFX and ADPro.
My Amiga art is from my new Amiga game Dead Metal 3 I usd Delluxe Paint and Personal Paint with Amos Professional With my Amiga A4000
ust saw that you are running this compo for the beloved Amiga.
I'd like to contribute with this Artwork I did this year.

Hi, my name is Helge Kvalheim from Bergen City of Norway, hard of hearing. I'm using an AmigaOne 500 aka SAM460ex, running AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 2 and Enhancer 2.2. Soon moving over to System 54 OS by A-EON.

I also own a 2GHz 64-bit Dual-core AmigaOne X5000, currently undergoing some improvements and upgrading of memory. Nevertheless, back to the point.

I have here an image of some of the level covers for the fictional Amiga game - Last Ninja 4, that I have painted with the PPC native version of Personal Paint (PPaint) 7.3c, as well as fixing some elements with GIMP.

Music track done by myself as well, using the NSM patched version of OctaMED SoundStudio v1.03c with latest PPC native TheMaestrix AHI tool, and high quality 16 bit stereo samples!

Hope you'll like them. Take care!
I have been drawing since I was a child (both on paper and on a computer).
I started digital drawing on an A500 with Deluxe Paint, Personal Paint and I don’t think I’ve stopped since then, only the way it has changed.
I drew the original image on a PC using a Wacom drawing pad and Krita program, but I wanted to see what it would look like on the A500 (32 color, ECS) ... I do not have a amiga monitor and my A500 produce weird colors on TV, so I converted the image to its current form with Winuae+Personal Paint and I tried to get as much color out of it as I could while detailed it a bit.
I don't know which category it falls into ??? because it's a drawing and not a photo, but I draw the original picture on a PC and only then switched to PP. It's up to You .The difference was made with amiga software.
Original (base) image:
Hello, I am Ivan Dubessy, alias Dubz, 50 years old and an early adopter of the A500 (1989), and I still own 3 Amigas : 2 500 and a 1200 moded (flash drive, accelerator card, more ram, etc.). As a kid I wanted to become a 3D artist (ah Pixar...) and used my first Amiga 500 to learn 2d pixel art with Deluxe Paint. Alas, I have not kept my first arts, so nobody will never see them alive :/. But, later, I bought a 1200, I boosted it, and decided to explore 3D worlds with Imagine 2.0, Scenary Animator, and Lightwave 3D. I also draw a lot with DPaint 3, 4 and 5 aga ; then with Brilliance 2.0 which is - for me - the best graphic application ever made... I still use it some times today. After the army, duty mandatory here in France at that time, I found my first job : press video game tester for a top tier magazine published by a parisian company named Pressimage, famous for the Generation 4 magazine. No wires pulled here, no friends my uncle knows who can help... I simply applied as a newcomer nobody knows ! They picked me because I was good at 3D and with the launch of the Playstation, Saturn and N64, they needed a gamer with 3D technical knowledge. Fun fact : I landed there from my Brittany with my only computer : the A1200. All the company was working with Mac computers, I was alone to write and draw with an alien machine ; and it worked very fine ! You can see some pics here that illustrated the reader's mails section...
Hi, Douglas. I have another submission for you! I did this piece in True Brilliance 2.0 on the same tech setup as below. I actually did this one live during an art event in my city, and it took about 3.5 hours to complete. I'm stopping streaming for a while until it makes sense to start again, but I would like to make a pair of videos about how I did these pieces and how one can use DPTAS or True Brilliance with a modern setup to do Amiga art.

Happy to be participating in another round of art this year. Just wrapped up my first pic. I started this one early this year while on a business trip to San Diego on an emulated Amiga. Finished on my real souped-up Amiga 500. Hand drawn from a tiny reference image on my phone. 32color lowres with a pretty extreme overscan as usual for me. (I can't help using all that extra screen space thanks to the RGB2HDMI.)
finally I can send you Julian's entries for the Amiga Art Contest 2022!

Like last year, he created his pixel art on the Raspi 400 with PiMiga 1.5 installed and Perfect Paint. Again, he did _all_ the work all alone. I just  helped with copying the files from the Pi to my PC and sending you this mail.

Entry1 was inspired by an Halo image he saw in a retro-themed magazine which we have at home. He wanted to create something similar. He started with the helmet some time ago and rediscovered it when we heard about the new competition, so he finalized it.

The work for Entry2 started shortly after AAC 2021 ended. He wanted to create a spaceship and show it from 3 sides. The little Alien Bill is a reference to AmigaBill :-) as well as to his last year's entry.

Thanks a lot for doing this great competition! We love to see all this great stuff created by the Amiga community!
Description and info to file.
Title: Kev_Portrait_V05
Resolution: 320x 256
Colours: 256

The purpose of this image was to create a 256 Low Res self portrait using Brilliance II.  I do love software but in particular finding ways of using the Rub Thru effect, and the Brightness/Darkness tools.   I had a basic photo that was imported into Brilliance, added colours, reduced the palette and added other elements such as circuit boards. The joy of blending technology with humanity.
As always it's the pure joy of seeing what's possible with Brilliance that is only on the Amiga.
This was a piece of work I created on an A500 in DPaint IV when I was in my late teens (which was looooong ago).

It is a Star Trek DS9 Runabout Craft from back when I was a big Trek fan.

It's not anywhere near the level of a lot of the entries, but I was always quite proud of the fact that I managed to get this done in just 16 Colours.
So I thought I would finally put it up for all to see and be judged =)

Anyway I hope it at least brings a smile to someone's face.

Cheers

Here are two of my older works for the Amiga art contest.
I colored them in Photogenics 5 under UAE.
Hi Doug, here's my entry for the 2022 amiga art competition, I tried pixel doodling in Dpaint III. So much fun.
Hi, here is my submission for the Amiga Art Competition, it was all done on an Amiga 1200 with Brilliance in PAL Low Res 256 colours, though I think I only used 16 or so.

It is not very good but your competition got me started on doing Amiga graphics again so I wanted to at least contribute something.

Many thanks and good luck with the competition.
Here is my very amateurish piece for this years compo. I was just having a play and fancied drawing something on the Amiga. My medium is usually photography. (Some of my wildlife photography can be seen on my ‘work’ website here: https://www.keithelcombe.co.uk . Just sharing for info. □)

I’d like to enter this in the Hand Drawn Artwork category.

Done on a real Amiga A1200, using DPaintIV, scaled up to 640 x 512 from 320 x 256 in Personal Paint 7.0 (because no matter how hard I tried, DPaint would not scale it up)
Amiga spec: OS3.2, sporting a TF1230 card, 64Mb of Fast ram

Title of artwork: Stairs to planetary abstraction.

And that’s it.

Hey Doug! I made it with 5 minutes to spare! whoo-hoo. Here is my submission. Great job with the contest! Looking forward to enjoying all the art and music.
Photography:

These were some of the images I made for TAS ep 8; digitised out in the field with the colour wheel. These were then played into digiview in real-time. There are some in EHB, HAM and 24bit mode. The 24 bit version was tweaked in ImageFX for contrast etc. (The digiview tools only work for Amiga screen modes, the RGB export is unmodified).

Regardless of it's place in the competition, the 24 bit image is staggering!! I can't actually believe is was captured via composite video. How amazingly forward thinking the NewTek folk were.
Warhol ram expansion & Fountain of Wisdom
These are both photos manipulated via my superpowered Pistorm Amiga 500 using ArtPro, Imagestudio, Photogenics and Grafx2
This is an image of a rock formation carved by a river in Southern Illinois. It was imported into Image FX 4.5 to adjust the size, and further modified with Deluxe Paint V. I am using a Vampire Stand alone V4 with OS 3.2.1.
"Galactic Man"

The idea behind this was to see if I could take a photo of a toy, and manipulate it to look like a loading or title screen from a classic Amiga shoot-em-up game.

Photo taken with a Samsung Tablet, (original photo included) composited with space stock photo in Photogenics 5, scaling and format conversion in ADPro, with touch-ups and titles added in PersonalPaint 7
I finally had a chance to play around with my moon/airplane photo and I came up with something that I think is kind of cool!

I used Brilliance 2.0 and Personal Paint 7 on this image.  I hope you like it!  It should open in a standard NTSC 640x400 16 color screen mode so it works fine with ECS color.
HAM6 (724*482) image for photo category. Photo taken on DJI drone.
Edited with GIMP (amicygnix) on X5000 Os4.1. HAM conversion on A2000 and
ADPro.
The original photo was taken by me of my A600 mouse, which was wrapped in a
mask and placed over our usergroup's AMIGAAA! mouse mat.

Image processing is made with RNOEffects 1.4 and ArtEffect 4.0 programs on an
A1200/060/RTG (and also reproduced on MorphOS with the same programs).

RNOEffects was used for everything else but the step 2.

1) Scaled down the image and altered contrast etc.
2) Cut the masked mouse out of the image with ArtEffect's stencil options and
   saved it as an brush with alpha channel.
3) Pasted a corona drawing over the image.
4) Wrote the semi-transparent "SURVIVOR 2.0" text on the image... remember the
   original Survivor by Eric S.? :)
5) Pasted the brush from the step 2 over the image to leave the previous
   additions drawn over the mat but under the mouse.
6) Added a watermark at the top right corner.
7) Quantized colours to 32/256 to be viewed perfectly on original Amiga setups.

When I watched your presentation I got inspired.
I'm not an artist but I like to be creative at times.
I took a screenshot from the video of you Doug and transfered the image to my A1200 with Blizzard IV. 030/50 with FPU.
Had fun with Image FX 2 and PPaint.
Here you have it attached ;)
It should be 16 colors.

All the best

Here's a silly quick last minute entry to the contest, for the digital
photography category.

The original photo was taken with a Canon EOS 400D, scaled down and
dithered in Gimp. This was converted to IFF and brought into Deluxe
Paint 3 where the Kickstart 2+ disk was added and some other touch ups.

The final image is a 16 colour Hi-res 640x256 PAL image. PNG equivalent
included.

Good luck with the contest, looking forward to seeing what everyone's
come up with!
Here is some concept art for the band Zombie Flying Monkeys for their album Gnarly... done on WinUAE in hires EHB on PPaint 7.1 and ImageFX 4.5 Studio.

I imported a photo of a gnarly tree into ImageFX to scale it down. I then loaded it into PPaint with full overscan EHB. I drew the band name and album title amidst the branches. Then I added the winged undead monkeys.
I’ve been very busy of late; yet, I did want to submit one more thing for the art contest.

This is a photo I snapped of my autistic daughter thoroughly enjoying the sunset. The play of the setting sunlight on her face and moving fingers reminded me of some of the glowing red and orange effects used in the 1970’s like on the Return to Forever “No Mystery” and “Where Have I Known You Before” albums. I imported the photo into ImageFX 4.5 on WinUAE. I scaled and cropped it into PAL overscan 592x592. I saved it as a 24 bit iff. I then loaded it into PPaint PAL high resolution EHB using best quality Floyd Steinberg dithering. The result is a stunning contrast of dark and warm colors.

It is one of the rare very sweet scenes of autistic life that are difficult to capture.
Hi Doug. Ran out of time this year to do some pixel art so me and a friend did some silly entries for the photography section. Nothing to be taken too seriously but you did say put anything in, even if its a stick man ;)

3D Raytrace Images

Dear AmigaArt Contest staff,
I am writing to participate in your exhibition by presenting my image, made with Lightwave 3D on Commodore Amiga.
Built on Commodore Amiga 1200 in Micronik configuration, blizzard 1240 with 128mb of RAM and ZZ9000 video card. The resolution as usual for my works is the usual 1280x1024 pixels. All created with the inseparable Lightwave 5.0 software of which I am the owner of a rare original copy. The computation time was nearly 19 hours on a real Amiga with Antialiasing to the max.
THE THEME OF THE IMAGE IS:
"An interminable Waiting for a precise moment in a person's life to arrive, so minutes, months, years pass in the stillness of an infinite ocean ..."
TTITLE IMAGE::"The Ocean of Time"
The link with other details on this work can be found on this web page in Italian:

Thank's you.

to me

Okay Dauglas,
Yesterday I finished this new image and I can add it to the one already sent previously ...
TITLE: A wall that divides us
CONTEXT: Two people physically not so far away but separated by a thick wall of silence, who surely think of each other and a single word would be enough to shatter every barrier, thus returning to be happy. A name never mentioned for years, not even once.
DETAILS: Realized in just two days on Lightwave 5.0 and rendered with Amiga 1200 Micronik with Blizzard 1240 accelerator and 128mb of RAM. Displayed and converted to JPG with ArtEffect 4.0 Software through ZZ9000 video card. The render time was 16 hours 39 minutes using maximum anti-aliasing. I chose to take advantage of two spot lights with raytraced shadows, which certainly doubled the computation time! As in almost all my works, procedural textures (wall and lawn) were used. The humanoids (male and female) are always the same in all my works, modeled with a lot of patience when I was a kid in 1994 on an Amiga 1200 without FPU and with only 2mb of ram chip, with LW 3.5nofpu software.

Thank's

Not to annoy you, but I actually scanned in parchment paper and replaced my font, and added that so the paper in the background actually translates to real words.
However, being so long ago, I don't remember what I typed, (pretty sure it was PG no promises though) :)
An environment for a Star Trek parody comic I've been working on, created in Lightwave 3D 5. The whole set was modeled by me,except for some borrowed detail elements (for example, some tech detailing on the walls are actually repurposed Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles.)

This render was made in Imagine 2.0.  It's the spacecraft from the 1984 movie 2010 A space odyssey.  There's a screen shot and a DpaintV file.
WinUAE: A4000, 68060 at "100mhz" HAM8. Image modeled and rendered in Lightwave. Final image rendered in Art Dept Professional as it does a better job at HAM conversion. "Lots A Balls"

I finally got around to making an entry to the contest! I’ve created many art, animation and multimedia projects on the Amiga back in the day, but sadly only a few files and printouts survive.



For this entry I recreated a design I did in 1993 using Lightwave.  The original image and related animations were used in demos promoting the Amiga at trade shows and sales presentations while I worked at Commodore (see my bio below). With just a color printout as a reference I rebuilt it from scratch.
