IN THE BEGINNING...

                     ...THERE'S JUST IMAGINATION

Friends call me Harry. Demosceners call me Raven. Both do this since quite some time for now. And both know that I'm loving both art and the demoscene.

This site was created to give an overview on my way through the demoscene and the visual stuff I created during that time.

This site and it's gallery will grow constantly with new and old images, logos and designs created for demos, for demoscene events and in the good old tradition of demoscene friendship.

When I started to do graphics on the C=64 a long time ago I was amazed by this different and new way I can bring my ideas to life...and I still am. The good old C=64 made me develop different dithering techniques I needed to achieve good results on low resolutions with just a few colors. Nowadays I use these techniques mostly for icons and mobile graphics. I continued to intensify these techniques on the Amiga lateron with more colors and higher resolutions. I loved to learn and change my way of painting and loved using this platform for quite some time until I moved to the Windows platform and began to learn another way to bring my ideas with digital color to life.

What you can see on the right are some excerpts from the process of painting a picture using a graphics tablet, a mouse, the mighty Photoshop and offcourse...my most important tool...my imagination.

What I love most concerning demoscene art is that there is a large variety of fields I can get active in. Not only I can take part in competitions on demoscene events but I'm also very grateful for the possibility to team up with our maincoder PRO (who also became a good friend by now) to contribute our visions to the demoscene. We try to do this without being influenced from other groups or current trends. The same goes for my pictures, logos and designs that are totally different from the graphical things I create in my everyday job and the freelancing stuff I do.

...but you still can scroll down and have a look at the painting steps.
