The one and only Exocet has published an interesting résumé about his demoscene activities during the past 30 years on his blog 16 coleurs in French language.

In this summary you will find some interesting statistics, views, production examples and demo party photos.

"Vroum Paf" - a hidden gem, first place at Outline 2007, 16 colors

According to the visualized statistics Exocet had two major phases of activity, which might be typical for many sceners. One longer and rather normally distributed episode around the year 2000, when many graphics for demos like Odd stuff, many contributions to other groups like Alive team, YM-Rockerz, DHS, JFF, MJJ etc. were created. This period also originated many of the (bitter-)sweet character pictures in unique Exocet style.

Exocet's "Lapinots" - a classic and editor's all time favorite, among many!

And after a longer multi-year break around the year 2010 we witnessed a less excessive, but highly appreciated constant comeback on many different platforms until today.

"Enemy At The Gate Array" - winning picture at Shadow party 2025 oldschool graphics compo (Thomson T08 16 colors) - as Exocet puts it in the related text file, this one was "rushed with Grafx2 in a single day at the party place"

 

"Rate my ride" - That cat knows how to chose number plates.

One of the best pixel artist on the ST, to this day I remember how hard I laughed when I started the diskmag and saw this: https://demozoo.org/graphics/147450 :D

Messaged him after 20+ years and nervously asked if he could draw a few pixels, he had not forgotten, and ... well. Exocet is not only a great pixel artist, he is a great person!
118 prods... damn!

Congratulations on a long demoscene career :) First pic I think of when hering Exocet is the screaming rabbit being sawed in half from the Odd Stuff demo. Cute and so brutal at the same time.

Other highlights are the scrapyard 3D scene in Evolutions Supernatural demo and creating a DHS logo waay back that we still bring out now and then :)

Exocet has always been not only a great and multi skilled gfxman and also a very friendly fellow! I suggest you read his blog, it's not updated too often but it's always worth reading.
