STE86 - Dog Fight (Comment by: STE'86 2011-05-12)
this was based on the photo illustrations in the centre of the Star Wars paperback of the film. It was done to test out my new Koalapad purchase in early 1986.
STE86 - Final Frontier (Comment by: STE'86 2011-05-12)
actually the real 1986 title of this image was "Final Frontier" it was based upon some grainy photos from Wrath of Khan and an illustration from a book called "Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology" and i think the illustrator was Rick Sternbach prior to his involvement with the TV franchise.

Sander, oh, sorry, it is Digger words. Just looks like Dane talking about that pic.

"If compo rules doesn't restrict the conversions - then ok"

Talking about this, I wonder why organizers would NOT restrict copies, why are they, wittingly, OK to allow this in a compo. I don't get this very point.

@diver: Dane's words? Would like to read them too. Or did you mix it up with Digger's or Celtic's reaction?
Dane - The Raven (Comment by: diver4d 2011-05-12)
Just read Dane words... So it is art of programming

Unfortunately i'm not even surprised. The same story as at ZX Spectrum gfx scene. There is so much methods to create the low end platform graphics - from pure nocopy painted straight-from-artist-head to pure automatatic image conversions. In my opinion judging depends from the compo rules and the nature of original image. If compo rules doesn't restrict the conversions - then ok, it's a question of participant's conscience. But several hardcore nocopy artists avoiding to participate in such compos. And the last - if the original photo taken by the same author and it well converted i think it can be stated as art.
AEG - Girl (Comment by: STE'86 2011-05-12)
I think that is based on a still of actress Theresa Russell

Nice effect on the water.
Twoflower - Cargo (Comment by: Anarkhya 2011-05-10)
Okay, we won't agree on this but I see your point, thanks sir (:
Dane - The Raven (Comment by: veto 2011-05-10)
there are some more graphicians on the c64 who do proper pixelworks from scratch for sure.
Twoflower - Cargo (Comment by: ALiEN^bf 2011-05-10)
Anarkhya: I think there is a lot of "Twoflower" in the pic. He managed to upgrade the source and to present it classy. I think the originality/individuality here lies in adding value and not doing just a plain rip-off. Still... there is no explanation for people's preferences and me likes this Bladerunner-ish sci-fi redo.
