The Guard
By Hugh Johnson, Coventry

Star Wars fans should recognise this shady character from the last in Lucas' famous trio of sci-fi films, Return Of The Jedi. This beautifully-drawn Gamorean Guard took time out from guarding Jabba's fortress to pose for Hugh. The entire image took over 50 hours to draw using nothing more than DPaint IV running on an A1200. Enjoy your Tabby Graphics tablet, Hugh!

Arthur C Clarke
By J Austin Taylor, Kingston-upon-Hull

Drawing a famous person is perhaps the toughest task an artist can take on because the picture is judged on the likeness rather than artistic merit. In this case the artist scores very well on both points.

Friendship
By Keith Rhodes, County Durham

This fantasy picture was created by Keith using only Brilliance and loads of patience. Keith claims that he spent over 80% of the time taken to create this image working with Brilliance's Magnify tool.

Hell Raiser
By Martin Edwards, South Glamorgan

Clive Barker's Pin Head character is a very popular subject for Amiga Format Gallery artists. Drawn using DPaint IV AGA on an A1200, the restricted colour palette gives this image an eerie feel.

Back Ladtra 2
By T J Coraldean, London

Based on the Disney movie Lady And The Tramp, Mr Coraldean's image captures the warmth and colour of Disney's early animations. Note the superb use of high contrast colour ranges to produce depth and to accentuate the effect of the light source.

Porsche 944S
By Auburn Hodgson, Cleveland

The A1200's AGA chip set may be ideal for creating great artwork but, as Auburn proves here, an A500 is still a useful artist's tool. Drawn by hand using DPaint III, Auburn has made considerable use of gradient fills to create the illusion of more colours.

Sun Babes
By S P Pang, Brisbane

This picture was constructed and rendered using an A1200 equipped with a GVP A1230 `030 accelerator. The software used was Imagine 3, DPaint IV and GVP's ImageFX rendering program. Worth noting is the clever use of brush maps on the bikinis.
