Well, I was fiddleing a bit with one of the general 16 color palettes of Arne. Made a little sprite, then thought of adding some backdrop to make a quick mockup. Had no idea, so I shamelessly edited a background of a well known old C64 game. I was experimenting with a lot of stuff in this piece, so it's not really consequent in styles, but I think it looks decent. I think the black could be a bit lighter and the palette is missing an ordinary red (this was no problem in the actual mockup). And I failed to use the light gray properly. Was fun to make.

Actually, I'm almost certain the game is supposed to take place at night, as I remember some screens having a moon in the sky, and bats flying around. Very Halloween-y, especially the cemetery and dungeon parts. Someone needs to remake that game with proper pixel graphics and lots and lots of animation (the hi-res remake from a few years ago was kinda rubbish)

That's why I preferred Dizzy on Spec/CPC than the 16 bit versions. Just liked that darker atmosphere about it all.

Great re-rendition of the Dizzy - The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure (great ZX SPECTRUM game: ) starting screen... though I always imagined the game taking place at night.. and looking quite a bit spookier...

Trees are so fun to draw. You obviously had a good time with this one!

What an amazing transformation!
The light on the objects are different than the
shade on the clouds.
Tree could use a bit more contrast on the greens.
Mountains are a bit too triangular.
There are some really nice parts here and there!

Dizzy Island?! OMG I haven't played that in ages. You just brought back some memories.

For youngsters and those who did not recognized it immediately (probably because the smaller cauldron):

The guy looks like one of The Pirates of Low Moral Fiber from MI2 or whichever one that was (his face at least). Nice little scene. I too would love to see the original.
