Camels C64 Sketch explores Colin Thomson’s fast and captivating creation using Multipaint in multicolour mode on the Commodore 64. Right from the first frame, pixel limitations transform into creative power. Thomson builds a desert scene stroke by stroke, complete with subtle animations and a self-composed soundtrack that enhances each camel silhouette.
The video remains concise yet engaging. Every visual layer appears deliberate and well-placed. Multipaint’s features—such as dither patterns, multicolour layers, and color-clash emulation—help Thomson craft artwork that feels true to the C64 style yet remarkably expressive.
As the sketch unfolds, the process feels deeply rewarding. You see the tools in motion and understand how the C64’s restrictions—like a limited palette and low resolution—lead to bold design decisions. Moreover, viewers gain a clear, close-up view of the artistic workflow, pixel by pixel. The visuals and soundtrack work together to create an immersive, wordless commentary on digital art.
