AXiS - A Xanthous Inventive Symptom
Xanthous : yellows
Art pack 1Oct 96
We setup AXiS at 1st of JULY, after working hard in
the last whole month, we can finally make our first
art pack! Since some members were joined very
lately last month, they didnt have enough time to
draw any ansi for us in pack 1, but i can sure that
in the next pack, we will have much more ansi inside
the pack! :
Someone asked me why i have to setup AXiS. Well, i
feel that hong kongs ansi level is always too low,
if i can gather the best ansi artist in hong kong,
and then help every network and bbs to draw ansi,
then the ansi level in hong kong will be much better.
moreover, if we can be recongnized in hong kongs
bbs world, i believe that more and more people will
start drawing better ansi.
Theres always a big distance between hong kong and
US ansi styles. Whats the difference? Firstly, its
quite obvious in the style of words drawing. In hk,
sysops want ansi which have 99 visibility, but only
1 beauty is enough. but in US, i believe that an
ansi having 99 beauty but 1 visiblity can still be
very very good in USs eyes. This is surely one of
the most important factor which stop hks ansi growth.
Of course, there are some other factors, for eg,
sysops in hk like to modify the ansi found inside
ice or acid pack for their own use. Since the graphics
inside those pack is the best in the world, so why
will they bother the garbage ansi drawn by the local
artist when compare with the US ones?
After being an ansi artist for a whole year, what i
can tell from hks bbs world is that, ANSi artist is
NOT being respected at all. If you really want to
lower down the ansi quality in hong kong, then just
keep on treating us like that please. :
Weve used a lot of time to persuade him, and hes
finally inside our group. said RABi, the coordinator
of AXiS. Dominic Fung, a famous ansi drawer in hong
kong, finally cant resist our attractions and so, he
have agreed to join us. :D He is superb in colour
usage, and he can always retain his ansis quality.
RABi decribes.
Weve waited for a long long time, and finally, GrApE
in AXeS made a viewer for us! Wow! Weve got our OWN
viewer finally! The current version of AXiSView is
not completed yet, coz it still lacks a mode - 320x200.
I believe that GrApE can give us the completed version
within this month, coz his programming speed is very
high! :O
