# About me
hello to all deviants. my name is Dan Malone and I work on computer games and illustration of most types: from characters to maps - animation and design. comics are my first love but most of my work is computer games: concepts, visualisation and storyboards to in-game 2D backgrounds, sprites, UI and frontend.
a bit of a mixed bag of work shown here, hope you find it worthwhile dropping by..
facebook: www.facebook.com/home.php?clk_... - cheers to Wayne and Lee for that one =]
Current Residence: London

As with others mentioned here, your work was truly an inspiration in game design. When I salvaged the port of Chaos Engine to RISC OS years ago, it really showed up the quality of your work and the distinctive image you gave to the Bitmap Brothers work.

Hello! I've been looking for someone to do a fantasy map and google search pulls
up several of your works. I'm currently writing a manuscript which I feel
requires a black and white map at its start. How much would you charge for
something like that? It would be intended for publishing so it would be for
ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats.

Hello sir, quick word to tell you that when I was a teenager, growing up with your work and the bitmap brother games really convinced me computer graphics could be unique and amazing, and that played a huge role into choosing to make it my carreer. So thanks a whole bunch for your hard work and inspiration!

I love the diversity and style that you achieve with your badass lines.Β You don't draw in a specific range of subject matter, which I envy.Β One day, I will swallow you whole and writhe upon your throne like a sadistic maggot... but that's a long way off.Β I'm happy to have found you on this site, and I only ask that you continue making awesome art.Β You inspire us to keep at it.

Your pixels are downright sexy and, in the case of your Chaos Engine art, the stuff of computer game legends. Β Many thanks!

I wanted to thank you for everything. Especially for those hours spent enjoying the games of BB and the quality of your work. SB2 Amiga remains forever in the pantheon of my games. Each of its pixels makes me regret that time.

Hi there!
Wow, the actual Dan Malone! Your work had a profound impact on me back when I was a kid playing Speedball 2, Gods and the Chaos Engine. It's really good both to see you on here and to see some more of your work.
I think it's fair to say there's a tiny bit of your work present in all of my own now. Maybe only a bit, but I'm glad it's there. So thanks for that!
Looking forward to seeing more

Greetings. Ahh, finally, THE Dan Malone it seems. I tried contacting you via Infinite Lives Ltd but had no reply. I sent you a "note" via the DeviantArt messaging system. I'd like to ask you about Antiriad. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Dan! I've been a huge fan of your work through The Bitmap Brothers. Speedball 2 inspired me to draw soooo much when I was 14, so did Chaos Engine. You're one of the finest character designers EVER! Browsing through your work here is an F***ing Dream! I ended up studying 3D CG Animation and Design thanks to seeing your work as a kid. I had to say thanks. I still play your games on the Amiga.
Ultimate Respect,
Narfnarf

truthrj [2011-05-17 18:28:32 +0000 UTC]
Cheeky question but have you or would you be doing any tutorials or lectures on your work? Specifically sprite/environment design as I feel your work from the 90's rivals Capcom's modern 2D efforts (SF3 for example).
Just a question as I know I'd be very interested in any tips, tricks and just general techniques you'd be willing to pass on. Thanks.

I drooled over Dan's art all my life since during the Amiga days!
