To give credit where it's due, the 32 colour King Tut image that Deluxe Paint's mascot was drawn by Avril Harrison. More of her graphics: https://www.amiga.lychesis.net/artists/AvrilHarrison.html

(I see the article now credits her on the image subscript?)

Also, the article mentions the colour-cycling animations of Mark Ferrari, but you might also like a big collection of specifically Amiga colour-cycling animations: https://www.amiga.lychesis.net/specials/ColorCycling.html



Author here. I made explicitly certain to credit her in the image caption from the start; that wasn't added later, it was there from the very moment I posted. I also mention her again, and note the relationship to the Tut image, in a quote later from Dan Silva.


If that's the case, then apologies, but I did not see the credit the first time, and I thought it odd enough to post about it here a bit later. Then when I looked again, the credit was there, so I thought you'd updated the article.

If it was there since the start... maybe I just misread?


I assure you it was there from the start. No worries.


There is something captivating in these old pictures that elevates them to pieces of art rather than just computer graphics. The sheer amount of work that went into crafting them makes each one special.


It's nice to finally learn the creator of that picture.
