Amiga Graphics Archive

This site is dedicated to the Commodore Amiga computer and the graphics that were made with it.

Added a very old pixel painting from Amiga veteran Sheryl Knowles from 1985 of a young girl.

Today I added a color cycling image from Thorsten Schlüter, who also had one of his images printed in the german Amiga Magazin.

July is another single image month and I'll start with two images from Torben Bakager Larsen, that I found on a Discovery promotion disk that included unused titles for Sword of Sodan and Zoom!

On this day 18 years ago I launched the Amiga Graphics Archive with the goal of creating a curated gallery with high quality and rare pixel art images made with and for the Commodore Amiga computer.

Added a big collection of logos from Rainbow Arts, reLINE and a big batch from Titus, amongst others, and also some animated ones as well.

Added more images from the Das Grosse Amiga Jahrbuch 1987, including lots of page scans.

The book included a lot of famous images, which I had already added in other collections.

I got the suggestion of adding an RSS feed to my site, so here it is:

Added a huge selection of color cycling images by Ken Costello. Some of them are simple experiments, others have really creative and intricate animations. Many created around 1986.

In an interesting turn of events I discovered a version of the Blizzard image that has a Ken Costello signature.

Since Ken is known for his color cycling animations it's probably safe to assume he created all of the variations.

[Amiga Graphics Archive @amigagraphics]

Just found a variation of Sultan Krest's Blizzard color cycling image, this time as an autumn storm and probably the precursor to the blizzard.

I found several very old images by Jo-Anne Park, including some C64 versions, which also led me to her full name. She was already very active on the C64 and you can see the progression when she went on to the Amiga.

psquaredish has been using the Engine9000 debugger to analyze tricks and techniques that game developers used to create the astonishing effects that many Amiga games were known for.

Matt noticed, that the Nantucket Native is based on a photo of Samuel Beckett originally taken by Jane Brown, so I added it for direct comparison.

I found two lowres images by Henk Van Der Graaf, wo is mostly known for his spectacular hires images. These were included with the program Print-A-Card, probably without Henk's knowledge.

Today I have a nice image from legendary artist Rick Parks, who went on to join Westwood to work on titles like Eye of the Beholder and Legend of Kyrandia. He sadly left us way too soon.

Here's a great Black Horse by Louis Johnson which is probably also dated in the late 1980ies.

I'm starting March with the winning entry of the Amiga Magazin Color Cycling Contest, where I finally found a version with correct colors that allowed me to recreate the color cycling animation.

You can find all images (including the ones I've added previously) and some additional information on the Compute! Amiga Resource publication page:

Added lots of nice images from Compute! Amiga Resource magazine. They had a reccuring art gallery section that featured artists' submissions with very different art styles.
