ECLIPSE JULY 1996 INFO FILE ---------------------------------------------------
scene guy: hi rai, i just checked out the last eclipse
pak, i liked it alright .. you guys have potential ..
im looking at this pak, and wow, that is a lot of
work for only two weeks to prepare!
rai: well, lesse here .. we gained so many awesome
artists this month .. its all thanks to them ..
it isnt easy to release bi-weekly .. i had to
prepare these info files and change them a lot
due to new members, etc ..
scene guy: ahhh .. well, why dont you fools just
release every month like a normal group? i mean ..
its art and we wanna see it monthly, not bi-weekly, that way we can
just keep up with it better .. and you guys have more quantity that
way too ..
rai: well, incase you havent noticed yet, were
definately not a normal group .. :9 we wanna be
a different group, getting away from the run
of the mill sort of paks .. and get into different
things ..
scene guy: wouldnt it just be easier on everyone
if you just released monthly? jeepers ..
rai: well, it would be easier, but less fun, and less
rewarding than releasing monthly .. its great to
keep the art flowing regularly .. it also keeps
us artists away from the typical art thing where you
either draw a lot of stuff at the beginning of the month and then
take time off at the end, or get lazy and do a last minute pic, or
logo just so you can make the pak the day before it releases ..
hopefully we dont get people that do that with the group .. plus
we can keep people in the scene updated on all of the guys in the
group more than once a month .. what can i say, i guess were
just work-a-holics .. errrr .. :9
scene guy: yeah i guess .. well, it still makes it over-all better
for me, the scene guy! more art, more to read, more to check out,
when most groups arent releasing!
rai: yeah thats it .. : well, we love to draw art and act weird
as hell, so i guess its fun to do all month .. it all works out in
the end eh? :
scene guy: yeah .. ive heard some gripe about there not being enough pics in
the pak?
rai: well, we picked up a lot of good artists this month, crayon, bold,
cheeze, agent77, magnatop, dieznyik and mighty mouse, they may be able to help us pull out better pics in the pak .. we have all turned out a lot of
excellent work this month, with lots more pics too ..
scene guy: one thing, can we say LOGO COLLY ?
rai: hmmm .. dont know that one .. : i guess it would be easier for you
to see a colly, but then wed only have a few things for you to see
and it would be very quick .. this way the logos all get seperate
appreciation ..
scene guy: yeah i guess .. it all works out .. the logos are really
great, i really dont mind having to look at them individually ..
also, there was no ascii, whats up with that?
rai: well, i wont lie, im not a fan of ascii really, but we may
introduce an ascii area to our group in the near future .. it would
probably just consist of a few people tho .. we want to emphasize
ansi in the group ..
scene guy: how about vga?
rai: nope .. i dont wanna get involved in it, good vga artists should
go to good vga groups, plus, it ups the pak size a ton, and i dont
wanna do that .. i want to keep it small and ansi-based ..
scene guy: yeah .. another plus for me, the scene guy! so, can i go
now? i wanna looket the pak ..
rai: sounds good to me, hope you like it! read on for more info
on the pak ..
ECLIPSE JULY 1996 INFO FILE ---------------------------------------------------
hi kids, welcome to the second installment of eclipse, isnt it
amazing, we released two times in one month .. kinda monumental in
my opinion : .. weve decided, although its hectic, we will
continue to release every 2 weeks, ATLEAST for the summer .. we
hope you like the paks, we aim to please ..
well, this pak was really hard for me to get out because i left
the apartment for a week to head out to a camp for a week .. so i
started writing all these info files and member lists and such, right
before i left .. a lot of art to do for all this stuff .. hopefully
the fact that we release bi-weekly wont change the quality of our
art at all .. each month we will have new designs for all things, the
member list, convention info, info file, etc .. hopefully you like the
themes we used this month :
this month we picked up the talent of magnatop as he joins us
in our journey .. he is another local 616er so it wasnt that long
before he moved in .. hes all set and drawing non-stop now .. he
will hopefully add a lot to the group .. also, a BIG event that we
have been looking forward to, we finally got cheeze to join .. one
of my personal favorite artists and good friend .. he comes to us
from cia and he is still also affiliated with plain .. another
talented artist that comes along with us this month is crayon,
previously of nootropics group .. it was the group with some
numbers and a few letters that i cant recall .. : another big
joinee this month is a very unsung artist that we are excited to
pick up, bold .. he joins us from his previous group, retro from
alaska! coming to us from plain and septic, we get an excellent
toon artist, agent77 .. on of our latest additions to the team,
mighty mouse, comes to us from plain, and still maintains a
position of ansi head in cia .. the last member we got joining
this month was dieznyik, of course previously nootropic .. although
he may only release an ansi or two per month with us, he expressed
a big interest in the group and he is a personal favorite of mine
and will help the team alot .. overall, this months acquisitions
will be a big help to the team ..
so i hope you enjoy this months pak, read up on the next few
files, for our new addition to the info files this month, torgos
tales from the apartment .. as mascot he decided he would take
on some new responsibilities in the group, like writing his own
info file, itll be enjoyable because he is a very funny guy ..
hope you like it .. it tells breifly whats going on with us
personally, and how its going in the apartment .. check it out ..
seems like the biggest complaint this month about the pak was
that there was too much writing ... so i guess that if eclipse
ends up being dubbed the group that talked too much and drew too
little then so be it .. we like being a group like that, its more
fun .. so i guess just check out all the great art and the excellent
reading and we hope you enjoy our second pak .. look for us again on
the 15th!
