Description
A massive revamp of the old 'loading screen' from my Amstrad CPC-style project 'Cosmic Prison Commando'. Revamped Jack and in particular his gun, added David behind him and a spacey backdrop with a cool blue look on the right for Jack and a flamey red sun casting it's red light onto David (a blatant attempt at foreshadowing him becoming the bad guy of the story). Logo got a revamp too. Much happier with this over the old one. I don't often do actual pictures (rather than sprites and tiles) but for the overall 8-bit computer game effect it needed a fancy image for it's simulated loading screen. Wanted an epic 80's blockbuster movie style look and I think I've finally achieved it. Yeah, this'll do. Will still probably tweak that damn hand on the trigger though. It's taken me 2 hours of tweaks and taking photos of my own hand holding a toy gun and it still kinda bugs me.

Amstrad CPC - Mode 0 'wide-pixel' resolution. 16 colours. Doubled up with 'scanline' effect for easier viewing.
