- During these uncertain times of COVID-19, we all need to find ways to relax. One way is to create new paintings in Deluxe Paint III with my Amiga computers. I created an image based on TRON, and in this video demonstrate some of the key tactics and techniques I used to create the artwork. I'm hoping this inspires others to do the same and find some peace along the way. More info:

ahh the nostalgia, spent many many hours playing around with dpaint3
My first cartoon animation job was on DPIII. Was it 1993? My gosh. Time flies by.
That's awesome! Do you still have that animation around anywhere?
Amiga Love I don't thing so. I learned 3D and worked for kid channels series such as : czcams.com/video/kaeb0LLEGus/video.html
This is a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing it with us AmiggaaaaLuuuvvveeeeee!
Thanks, Bill. Glad it put a smile on your face for a moment. Hope you and your family are safe and well, my man. If you want the IFF, you can find it at the bottom of this post here: amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1414
DPaint is awesome. :) Such a creative tool. And very relaxing to work with, nothing in the way.
And don't hesitate to share the process, I'm sure your viewers would appreciate it!
Thanks for the great tutorial on how to do this on Deluxe Paint which i am lucky to have the small box version which i picked up last year.
Hope you Keep Safe and Stay Safe from UK
Paul - thanks SO much for the kind words. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! And you stay safe, too. Really appreciate it.
Nice job. Thanks for taking me back in time. I still own a couple of Amigas and boxed version of Deluxe Paint.
So glad you like it. I love taking my Amigas (and toy Deloreans) back in time. =)
@@AmigaLove Soon I will record a video with all my Amiga hardware and software I own. I have been with Amiga since 1989 and with C-64 since 1986. Best regards.

I love this image. It almost looks digitised and I mean that as a compliment.
Thanks, man! That image taught me a LOT about Deluxe Paint and its tools. The human forms - at that size - were the toughest challenge for me.
Brilliant! And you are an inspiring teacher as well. I’m just getting started in Amiga emulation (had an A500 as a kid). Soon as I get my setup figured out I’ll be digging into this. Thanks!
Jason, this is one of the greatest comments I've ever gotten. I really hope you'll share with me whatever dreams emerge from your mind into the Amiga's canvas. I'd love to take a look some day. Have FUN!
Lovely work Eric always good to see some Deluxe Paint love and some fun creativity. This really is making me so itchy to get my Amiga 600 out to Japan in the next month or so. DPaint is just such an incredible tool.
Hi, Vicky! It's so good to hear from you. I hope all's well in your beautiful new homeland. Thanks so much for the kind words and I can't wait to see your next work, too! We'll all just have to be patient. I've just started mapping my next idea out (it's going to be a real tough one, I think, but fun!). This work takes me back to my art school days and makes me feel younger than the crinkles around my eyes reveal. During these times of crisis and hardship, the arts can help some of us pull through, I like to think. The arts are what truly define us, you know what I mean? I deeply admire the incredible adventure you've partaken. Stay safe.
@@AmigaLove Thank you! Yes all is well in Japan the sun is out! Setting a challenge is a good thing, the piece I put together for Amiga Ireland was a real push for me but if you start with an idea you can work towards it with enough patience and effort so I think your idea will be awesome! Yes I know exactly what you mean, I have been often saying to myself I have had to go backwards to go forwards in my life in the past 2 years, and whilst I too have a few more wrinkles now it's just experience, that's all :) I think the arts can pull us through, the power of the imagination can spark wonderful things in us, and in turn people feel uplifted seeing something that they connect with, that takes them away from whatever their reality's concerns are. It is indeed an adventure with many questions that I have taken but I know for sure there was nothing to be gained from staying where I was, life has taken a complete about turn for me but I know it's for the better and it means I can start sharing everything I love so much and bringing little pieces of joy into people's lives I hope :)
@@vix_in_japan Beautifully said, Vicky. Just... yes.
Great video and tutorial! Thanks ;)
i like drawing using d paint as well great program. nice drawing
Many thanks - cheers
Some great information here! I enjoy these tutorials.
One of the reasons I often use Personal Paint is because of the multiple levels of "undo"
Thanks, Doug. Yeah when I soup up my 2nd A3000 I'll install that program. I also want to get to learn Brilliance later this year, from our old friend Jim Sachs fame. Right now I'm still quite cozy in Avril Harrison Land. =)
I think DPaint version 4 has unlimited undo? I may be wrong though
@@plechaim I don't think so. I use Dpaint V quite a lot and I think it even has only one level. I will check tomorrow.
Great video Intric8... Really nice job. I really look forward to your Amiga videos. This was almost a learn quick tutorial of DPaint. I like how you are gracious to share Methods with community to encourage others to start. I don't have one artistic bone in body and now I want to fire up DPaint III and make something! Not to mention that Tron picture is so RAD!...
Thanks, Michael. I bet if you took a picture you like and went for it you might surprise yourself. Thanks a ton for watching and all the kind words.
Great video. Thank you. Reminded me of how I did things back then. I also used Photon Paint a lot in ham mode. Because I’m no artist, my major was getting a hand scanner for my Amiga. Naturally being black and white it made for great “stencil” starting points.
I picked up a hand scanner for my Amiga recently but haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the reminder! I've always thought it would be a fun thing to mess with. MVG gave me Photon Paint last year. I didn't realize it supported scanners. Sounds like a fun project! Thanks, Richard
very insightful video.
Thank you for saying so, and thank you for watching! I'm glad you found it interesting.
You, sir, are one talented dude! Great video!
If I remember correctly, you could also use the right mouse button on the canvas to apply the current tool with the background color. At least it works for shapes and builtin brushes. I almost want to even say it works with brushes in general but it's been so long that I forgot. Might have to try it out again and see lol
Kewl😊
Phenomenal work!
Thanks, Nemanja, I really appreciate it!
HAHAH! I love that Dragonlance Poster on the wall!!!!
Fantastic video, intric8! That A3000 of yours is beautiful, man :)
Deluxe Paint is such a great program. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of messing around in Deluxe Paint. It's so powerful and flexible while still being so intuitive. Even a kid could use it :P
Thanks for watching Nevil, I'm glad you liked it. Did you keep any of your old DP drawings from back in the day?
@@AmigaLove Oh, yeah, quite a few, but I was a child and they are utterly terrible. :D It was a lot of fun though. I made a couple of animations that I kept saved as well, but they are even worse then the drawings. :P
@@nevilovermann797 Dude! That's so awesome you still have them.
I wish I still had the floppy I saved all my art on back in the days...
Same here! 😰
Sometimes i made an animation with less colors, to be able to create longer animations. But mostly used 32 colors. HAM had too many artifacts.
Thanks for your comment. I've decided my next piece will definitely be 32 colors. I really just wanted to challenge myself with the limitations this time around. Thanks for watching!
this was awesome. it's CRAZY that the magnifier counts as a "step" in the Undo file. gah! i FEEL the frustration, lol.
(i realize it's not Amiga, but suddenly i want to see your tutorials for Picture Publisher, lol.)
nice one! , what camera you are using for film your videos mate?
Hi, thanks Amiten. Believe it or not I just use an iPhone. Video recording gets things pretty nice under most lighting conditions. For photographing my screen I use a special app that allows me to control the exposure. The contrast and vibrance sometimes take a hit but it removes the vertically moving scanbars nicely.
@@AmigaLove thank you!
@@AmitenTV Of course! FWIW, I use an iPhone 11 Pro these days. I used to use an iPhone 8 and it's camera (photos and video) was perfect for everything. But... ch-ch-ch-changes and all that. ;)
Great video! 👍 😉
Thank you , Gaz. Really means a lot.
Trying to get my Amiga 500 running Workbench 1.3 and Deluxe Paint III to be a better art station. I have a wacom ArtPad II serial digitizer pen that I know works with the 500, but I can't find Workbench 1.3 drivers for it (all I can find are for WB3.1). Anyone know where to find these? Also, are there any scanners that can be found for fair prices that will work with WB1.3?
Hi Matt. Regarding the scanners, I know there was a very good Epson scanner from back in the day that worked in 1.3. I'll see if I can hunt down the model number. But for me personally I have a hand scanner that can produce some really cool dithering effects in black and white. They made a color version of the scanner, too, but I only have the black and white version. It takes a bit of training to understand how to use it. Mine works in 1.3 and 2.0+. It was made by a local WA company named MiGraph. More: www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1420 I also have an ArtPad for my Amiga but have yet to hook it up and see how it goes. I've read that in some of the earlier software you'll gain mouse controls but not pressure sensitivity, especially in the early-days software.
@@AmigaLove thanks. lmk if you can find wb1.3 drivers for your art pad. i know there are several options, and every one i can find that shows min os will say 2.0 or 3.1. at some point i will just have to randomly try drivers and see if i can get any to work
Let's not forget that TRON totally ripped off the costumes from the final scene of the 1980 movie Breaking Glass ;)
That's pretty wild - I'd never seen that before.
@@AmigaLove It didn't register with me either as a kid, pretty grim movie, but I noticed it one day as an adult when watching the ending.
