Readme for Rachel Raccoon Pictures
=================================

These pictures are hand-drawn pictures of a cartoon character
named 'Rachel the Raccoon'.
Author:  Leslie Dietz

My trademark is the little dragon logo in the corner of
my pictures (it is a stylized "D" for those who didn't notice.)

I use programs 'DPaint V' to do the drawing, and 'Imagine' and 'Real 3D' and
'Scenery Animator' to draw the clouds and waves (which were touched up
later of course).  'Art Department Pro' is often used for blending backgrounds
and color reduction.  These were drawn on my stock Amiga 2000, but now
I use my  A4000/040, so  more are done up in the new AGA
graphic modes with more colours (128, 256, and HAM8).

The 8-colour and 4-colour conversions of these pictures and the colour
remapping were done by Darren Ewaniuk.

I am a member of the AmiCUE computer club and a participant in the AmiCUE
Multimedia and Animation SIG.  AmiCUE stands for "Amiga Commodore Users
of Edmonton" and is the users group for Amiga owners in Edmonton, Alberta.
