Name: Renegar Date: Dec 1997 Software: Deluxe Paint IV AGA (Amiga 1200)
	My first attempt at a proper full sized fighter sprite.  I had been trying to learn how to use color outlines instead of the black I'd used before.  The stance, I think, was based on a screenshot of Demetri from Darkstalkers that I had seen in a copy of the UK games magazine C&VG.  Looking back on this sprite the colors are terrible especially in the hair, but that's what practicing is about...

 

Name: Vagabond Ready Stance Date: Sep 1997 Software: Deluxe Paint IV AGA (Amiga 1200)
	One of my very first larger animations done after playing Secret of Mana on Super NES obsessively I wanted to try to animate a high resolution RPG character.

 

Name: Vagabond (Sword Unfinished) Date: Aug 1997 Software: Deluxe Paint IV AGA (Amiga 1200)

I drew this character after my friend suggested he wanted to make a RPG in Allegro or something.  The big hair style was inspired by screenshots I had seen of Secret of Mana.  This was the first sprite where I got to use something better than the Amiga 500 palette and I overdid it.  Trying to animate it with the few skills I had back then was a nightmare.  Also looking back I can't help but notice how bright and colorful his clothes are for a vagabond.

 

Name: Timber Date: June 1997 Software: Deluxe Paint IV AGA (Amiga 1200)
	I drew this as my avatar on an old chat website called Globechat while I was studying Information Technology at Cambridge Regional College.  The color scheme was obviously inspired by Jon Talbain from Capcom's Darkstalkers series
