Unity Pixel Art(ist)

Hey there!

Long time Llamasoft fan here, since Iridis Alpha diary on Zzap.

Looking for more information on the artist - graphic designed that provided beautiful pixel art for Lionhead / Llamasoft during the Unity-era:

Same graphics were also used on the Edge 120 cover (February 2003):

And also on the “Llamarama” cover disk bundled with Retro Gamer Issue 12

Do you know who is - was the author? Are there any more artworks available?

Cheers,

Rex Crowle did the Unity Llama for Edge magazine.

He’s currently working on the game Knights & Bikes as half of foam sword games.

I imagine someone used that for the Retro Gamer disc box art.

I met Rex at a London games event called Rezzed a few years ago and got him to sign my Edge copy:

BITD I also scanned the cover and created a desktop wallpaper of it:

Thank you for the info!

He's really really talented,
and what a nice coincidence I had used EpicWin quite a lot a couple of years ago

Cheers

Rex did a developer talk at EGX Rezzed in London on Friday about Knights & Bikes.

Usually the dev is on the stage for these, but due to technical issues, Rex had to stay at the back of the hall, so the video of the talk only shows what was on the screen, with voiceover by Rex:
