orphan #8: smurficons (amiga).

I uploaded my SmurfIcons (Amiga) to Aminet (a public archive for Amiga software/files).

I worked on these icons years ago.. maybe 10 years ago, and never released them, because I wanted to create 101 icons (the number of smurfs in the Smurf village) before uploading them. Never got around to it of course, but felt I should go ahead in light of the 3D Smurfs movie coming out this month.

There were so many more ideas I had - I wonder if I will ever be motivated to finish them. These icons were somewhat unique in their time because they had a simple animation (activated "on" and "off" images) -- something which I believe the Mac OS has surpassed with their animated icons..

The Amiga operating system is a 90's platform which has declined to a hobbyist market.

Attached is a grab of the icons that I completed - some of these icons were accompanied by sounds and further graphics. My favorite Smurfs were Clumsy and Rotten Smurf.

lord of ultima comic - 1st prize. =)

I won 1st prize for the lord of ultima comic entry!!

(it was just a online computer game contest so the only thing I ended up winning was in-game currency)... but I was really pleasantly surprised that I won.

I have spent the past few days rendering a new version of the comic incorporating the game graphics for a more polished look.
