A colored-pencil on textured paper drawing I made at my grandparents' house (incidentally, while playing Keen on the hardware that introduced me to it) :D

EDIT: The picture was too big to courteously post on the forums, so I've just linked to it instead.

Lots of cool stuff being added here. I always liked the hand drawn feel to art over digital, but I'm not that skilled away from a computer.

I dithered and recolored my last one. Keeping with the EGA colors. I got it pretty close to the original, except for the background.

@THC: Your drawing style looks so similar to mine it's almost creepy. I could have drawn that a few years ago.

@Guynietoren: oh man you srsly got the skills, ever considered letting a keen mod/fangame project benefit from those?

That'd be quite a project to give HD treatment to keen4-6. But I'm sure it'd be worth it, bringing in folks who hadn't played the original. Hopefully something like that wouldn't get frowned on by ID software. Although it's them who's sitting on a hot IP with little to no revenue on it.

Wow. Now THIS would be epic. I hope that one day, there will be some kind of Commander Genius/Keen HD that would look like this, because that would be so awesomely cool!

Yeah the blue interlace gives it a Windows 9x feel to it.

I was trying to line up my upscaled picture with the original background and found an error... I had it scaled at 283% instead of 300%. So I'm a bit disappointed.

So if I am going to try redrawing sprites it'll be at x3 scale to make it simpler, and I'd need to redraw the earlier image so it fits. Blah... I am disappoint.

Haha it was only a matter of time before someone made a joke like that, yet I still found it funny. They all help defend the Universe :lol

Which team is the McMire team?

I could make some changes to KEENGINE so that you could play it with HD graphics. Three times the resolution would result in 960x600, but I don't think you'd be able to run this in fullscreen mode. I'd rather go for 1280x800 (four times the resolution).
Hail to the K1n9, baby!

Someone should buy the team and make them wear pink shirts.
