This picture was my contibution to the gfx-combo at the Party93, Herning,
Denmark. For some weird reason it was left out of the actual competition.

Please notice: this is NOT exactly the same version I released at the Party. 
I've touched it a bit (couldn't resist! :->) although it may not be obvious, 
the changes are that tiny. Anyway, I've used more than 1.5 (lazy!) YEARS to 
create this piece of art. It's totally original, no part of it is copied, 
scanned, or digitised. No part of this picture is based on some existing 
artwork, everything is designed by me. The only cheating I've done is the 
use of VistaPro landscape generator to render some of the background. 
However, I "repainted" that part totally by hand, so everything you can see 
on the screen HAS been done manually.

The following software was used:

	-DeLuxePaint3 for the original 16 coloured "sketch"
	-DigiPaint3 for most of the actual painting
	-DeLuxePaint4 for some special FX (translucency etc)
	-PixMate v1.0 for some palette handling
	-VistaPro v1.0 for little rendering

Hardware that made it possible:

	-B2000 with 1Mb Chip + 2Mb 16-bit fast
	-2 floppy drives
	-105Mb Quantum ProDrive + Supra WordSync
	-7.09MHz MC68000 CPU

Please do NOT try to convert this picture into 256-colour mode (GIF or
something else lame). I tried it once and the result was horrible; with
an 8-bit palette you WILL run out of colours (there are hundreds of
different shades on screen simultaneosly). Only HAM makes it possible!

If you want to contact me for some (gfx oriented?) reason try the following
