I WON, I WON!!!

... and I also came 4th! What am I on about? raww.orgy 3 of course!

I entered the music compo with a track called 'Peehole' which I submitted the STeM Mix of. I wrote this track in Vortex Tracker II only, and it seems this was a big mistake. I managed to use combinations of effects and pitches of notes that Vortex doesn't faithfully reproduce. So the track sounds better in Vortex tracker than it does on a real Speccy. Despite all of this, my track still came 4th.

So what did I win, well, my graphics alter ego K-0S entered the graphics compo with this picture of D0k...

The graphic is actually a heavily edited version of a real picture, but not of D0k. Just a D0k-a-like. The original was a 16M colour JPEG, and as you can image, it takes a lot of messing, pixel editing, etc. to get it this good in two colours.

So all my hard work paid off. Hoorah! :)
