Launched in 1985 the Commodore Amiga boasted graphics capabilities that were unsurpassed for it's time. It featured an intricate collection of custom chips that enabled it to do things that, until then, had been impossible to achieve with other personal computers. This site is dedicated to graphics made with or for the Commodore Amiga home computer. https://amiga.lychesis.net Tue, 12 May 2026 17:07:01 GMT 1600 Added more images from the Das Grosse Amiga Jahrbuch 1987, including a lot of page scans. The book included a lot of famous images, which I had already added in other collections, but I've not been able to find any of the artsy or kids drawings. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-05-12.html Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Added a huge selection of color cycling images by Ken Costello. Some of them are simple experiments, others have really creative and intricate animations. Many created around 1986, when the Amiga was still brand new on the market. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-04-20.html Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT I found several very old images by Jo-Anne Park, including some C64 versions, which also led me to her full name. She was already very active on the C64 and you can see the progression when she went on to the Amiga. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-04-12.html Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT March is single image month in which I add images that didn't fit into larger updates or are missing images from older updates. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-03-01.html Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT First update of the year and I added a whole collection of nice images from CU Amiga magazine. I went down the rabbit hole and added scans from the magazines' Art Gallery section, which included lots more really cool art. But as usual it's been really difficult to find the original versions of these images. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-01-25.html Sun, 25 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Added lots of nice images from Compute! Amiga Resource Magazine. They featured lots of great images in their art gallery section. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-10-11.html Sat, 11 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT Added a big selection of color cycling images, each with interesting and fascinating techniques to achieve astonishing animations simply by shifting the color values around the palette. I also built a new color cycling converter that can better fit these animations into loopable sections and can also handle interlaced images. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-07-05.html Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Added the next batch of Amiga Magazin images. This time from the color cycling contests in July 1988. I switched the format for images with color cycling or animations in CRT mode to MP4, because some of the loops were getting too long and using animated WEBP files wasn't practical anymore. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-05-31.html Sat, 31 May 2025 00:00:00 GMT Added a huge selection of images that were published in the german Amiga Magazin. Most of these were winning entries in their regular graphics competitions. As I had already included several images from these competitions (like Orlando Petermann, Jens Eisert, Walter Bergmann and others...), I have also added a section for all publications, where you can see all the images at together. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-03-01.html Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMT Added level graphics to the game Starray and included the graphics for the Atari ST version as comparison since it actually manage to improve over the Amiga version, despite being technically at a disadvantage. Also found an alternative version of the title screen. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-01-25.html Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT As final update for this year I added a whole bunch of awesome images from Facet who has been really productive in the past year. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2024-12-28.html Sat, 28 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT Added another batch of classic images from Aegis Images and Aegis Spectra Color art packages. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2024-12-18.html Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT Added a collection of images by Island Graphics from the very beginning of the Amiga. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2024-11-18.html Mon, 18 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT Added a lot of nice graphics from the air race game Gee Bee Air Rally by Mike Nowak. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2023-11-18.html Sat, 18 Nov 2023 00:00:00 GMT Added some brilliant new images from oldschool scener Facet, who has been quite active again in the last couple of years. I also changed the ordering for sceners, so that the images will now be shown from new to old. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2023-10-15.html Sun, 15 Oct 2023 00:00:00 GMT Updated the logo section of british video game developer/publisher Ocean Software Ltd. with all logos I could find, finally including the correct color palette entries. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2023-10-01.html Sun, 01 Oct 2023 00:00:00 GMT Added a great collection of early hi-res images from Robert J. Spirko. A lot of these were printed in the german Amiga Jahrbuch 1987. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2023-09-09.html Sat, 09 Sep 2023 00:00:00 GMT Added a whole bunch of images that were printed in various magazines as part of art contests - mostly from german Amiga Magazin. Finding original files isn't easy, since magazines rarely distributed the submissions during the 80ies. This got better during the 90ies, when coverdisks and cdroms were more common, but sadly by that time a lot of submissions consisted of 3D renderings and photo collages, instead of hand crafted pixel art. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2023-08-27.html Sun, 27 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT Added a bunch of beautiful landscape paintings by Walter Bergmann. He also got his art printed in an art contest by german Amiga Magazin https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2023-06-18.html Sun, 18 Jun 2023 00:00:00 GMT Added a couple of impressive images from Mike Crossmire alias MGC from the very early Amiga years. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2023-05-22.html Mon, 22 May 2023 00:00:00 GMT Added graphics from the game Warhead, which uses its limited palette to great effect to create metallic surfaces and structures. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2022-11-27.html Sun, 27 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT Added graphics from the game Crazy Cars 2 which features really nicely pixeled in-game sprites of the Ferrari F40 and Ford police car. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2022-11-13.html Sun, 13 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT Added a big collection of very early artworks created by artists of the french design school Brassart in 1986. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2022-01-30.html Sun, 30 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT Here's a big update with early art from Finnish artist Heikki Luhtala, EHB art from Eddey and more images from Swiss artist Orlando Petermann. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2021-11-03.html Wed, 03 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT Another scene update with lots of recently released images from Archmage, Facet, FadeOne and Prowler. Nice to see these artists revisiting their roots. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2021-07-25.html Sun, 25 Jul 2021 00:00:00 GMT Updated the scene category, fixing lots of images, adding more palettes and new images, especially from Made, DAS and Fairfax. Also fixed a couple of bugs. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2020-12-31.html Thu, 31 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT Added a whole packet of great images from one of the early European Amiga artists, Orlando Petermann. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2020-09-27.html Sun, 27 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2020-09-26.html Sat, 26 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT I recently stumbled across dumps of official Psygnosis backup disks and this is the first batch of files I was able to add to the already existing Aquaventura section, including all rendered sequences taken directly from the game. The WIP sequence for the title art gives an especially fascinating insight into how this images was created. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2019-02-03.html Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:00:00 GMT Added more awesome images from Ian Harling, with images from his canceled game Flag coming directly from the artist himself. I'm also for the first time adding images that are not in their perfect uncompressed form, because I think they're too cool to omit just because of some compression artifacts. Here I added an image from the game Flag to Ian's overview section. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2018-09-09.html Sun, 09 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT After a much too long delay I added two fighting games to the site: Karate Kid 2 and Master Axe. I'll be adding more games from that genre, but with the amount of detail that these types of games cram into their backgrounds it can become quite a big task to grab everything. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2018-02-03.html Sat, 03 Feb 2018 00:00:00 GMT Added some wonderfull images from Sharon Long. Magazine appearances suggest these must have been created around 1988. I also have a couple of broken files in this collection which I didn't upload, but chances are slim that I'll be able to find intact versions. https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2017-08-04.html Fri, 04 Aug 2017 00:00:00 GMT
