You'll never believe how hard it was for me to find some Dizzy fanart. Whenever I try to look up Dizzy fanart I always get a bajillion pictures of a female character from Guilty Gear. Dizzy was like the mascot for the British home computer world and the Dizzy series of games is one of the greatest game franchises of all time. Anybody who remembers playing these games will have fond memories of them. I love this pic and that's because I love good ol' Dizzy .

It's so sad to me that there hasn't been the same level of retro interest in old British and European microcomputers as there are for Japanese and U.S. consoles (even in Britain). So many old properties just died out.

Is Dizzy supposed to be an egg? I'm not exactly familiar with this franchise.

According to the developers, they intended Dizzy to just be a face with hands and feet, but everyone called him an egg, so they went with it.

He is one of the "Yolkfolk"

Just Illustrator. I've been using it more for work, so I've picked up a few tricks and shortcuts lately. Like they say, practice makes perfect! (Not that this is perfect).

Thank you! I hope it's a sign of me getting used to the medium. It's time-consuming, but well worth it

Still need to work on my backgrounds though
