This my first of 30 characters for the annual 30 characters in 30 days challenge.
http://www.30characters.com/
Created by the cutting edge machines of the future, as a nostalgic nod to the Computers of the past, this psychotic robot has the split personality within his retro exterior. His plastic overlay shows a happy creature. This overlay hides Victor’s darker side, Victor’s “Vector X…..!!!1!!!!!”
This was created using Inkscape the fantastic and still FREE Adobe Illustrator alternative. This is still a work in progress, the final version will be a lot crisper, he just took far too long to create.

What hides behind the Overlay?

#30 Spectrum Vector

The Sinclair Spectrum 8 Bit Buzz Bot. This mean little Retro Robot design is going to made into a vectorized T-Shirt design, like the other pixel art robots I’ve created over the past few years. This is my final design for the 30 characters in 30 days. It’s been fun thanks for all the support. You guys have some fantastic concepts and ideas.

Hales/Tomy handheld version of Scamble. My first computer game.
My very first Computer game, and the absolute pinnacle of Vacuum fluorescent display Graphics (well for a 3 – 6 year old at the time) This was the handheld/tabletop version of Scramble, a classic horizontal shoot ‘em up/shmup that spawned a whole generation and Genre of left to right Astro Blasting action games. I drew this animation a while ago but I thought it was time to upload the Pixel art design to my online shops. This animation is a small example of the gameplay. I always loved the music and the in game sound effects. A really fun game for its time, all the way back in 1981/2/3/????
I made some items with my wearable pixel art design available here:-
