Topaz attacking an Amiga that's displaying a Guru Meditation error

I took a break from some Amiga assembler programming to draw this piece. I had seen a picture from an advertisement of a knight attacking an Amiga 500, so I redrew it featuring Topaz, and gave Topaz a good reason to want to attack the Amiga. Enjoy!

Amiga Art Contest 2022

November 14, 2022

I had two pieces in the Amiga Art Contest 2022, one of which I drew in Disney Presents: The Animation Studio, and the other I did in True Brilliance 2.0. There was a lot of amazing art and animation in the show this year, and you should check out all the entries.

Now that I know what I’m doing on the platform, I’ll be ready to make an even more impressive showing in 2023!
