Tiny Fly Dude - As Seen on TV made using Art Alive!
22Drawn in by a can, the tiny fly vomits all over the top to suck up the few drops of soda left. I wanted to develop a few characters while using Sega’s Art Alive! that were bold and vibrant. Pieces that work well with the limitations of the software. Fly’s are drawn in by things that are gross and rotten, leaving their tiny marks in so many small ways. Just imagine being so happy to find trash everywhere.
I called this collection of images As Seen on TV because once you turn the console off, the original is lost forever. There’s no way to save the originals of these pieces. There’s no storage on the cartridge and there’s no export options in the software.
By using screencapture software I was able to save copies of the artwork and record how it was created. I also took photos of each piece once they were done to capture how they appeared in their original form on an old CRT television.
Sega's Art Alive! has a lot of limitations. 16 colours, a control pad for input and no way to save your work, but I wanted to create something beautiful. 'As Seen on TV' is a collection of art made using a Sega Mega Drive, a control pad and a copy of Art Alive!. I recorded the screen to capture the process knowing the original drawing would be lost as I turned the system off.
