Dark Illustrated: April Collection
sdht4  ▐▀▀▀▀▌  4thds

Wow, another month almost passes us, and with it many changes.
It's 3 AM right now, when I write this and if it doesn't make sense
blame Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against The Machine...  Damn, they're
good.  Possibly the only thing keeping me up right now.  Right from
the get go, I'd like to thank the guys from Wyld Studios, more news
on that later on in this info file.

man since their grandparents bought one.  "  (RATM: Rodeo)

Sorry, I love that part.  I think I now know what Xypher Matryx was
getting at about the writing of the info file.  Damn, I hate it when
he's right.

Dark Illustrated:  Group News

New Members

This month Dark experienced many firsts.  One of those was our very
first merger.  Wyld Studios has been an established group in the 905
a/c for a couple of years now.  This month the two groups became one
keeping the mantle of Dark Illustrated.  These new guys show great
talent and we hope that they will enjoy their time in Dark.  We're
all extatic about this merger and hope that a new chapter in the
group will now begin.  From Wyld Studios come:

Arzach -  He has been around #dark for a while now.  His excellent
VGA skills continue to excite us all.  He's one of the
nicest people to talk to as well, so it only gets better!

Cosmic -  A coder who joins our busy department.  This guy does
Catalyst  some great stuff!  Keep an eye on him in the very near
future.

Daddy  -  The last Wyld pack I d/led featured alot of great work from
Macthis guy.  Impressive doesn't do him justice.  He has shown
that he has the talent and the drive to be one of the greats.

Grail  -  Grail is a powerhouse when it comes to ansi.  I've followed
his ansi progression for about a year now and I must say
he is very impressive.

Hektic -  A musician, Hektic comes over to Dark in a period where
our musical production has been somewhat low in the past
few months.  Maybe he'll be the spark we need!

Purple -  Another musician, Purple Dye.  He's got some great talent
Dyewhen it comes to tracking and composing.  Hope to see
something from this guy in the near future.

Though the merger brought us many artists we also gained alot of
talent through the application process.  This month we're proud to
announce the arrivals of:

Cyber  -  Ex-Acid, Ex-Ice, Ex-Tribe.  It looks like a dream list doesn't
Xit?  Well, now Cyber X comes to Dark Illustrated.  His work
with us so far has been exceptional!  We proudly open up an
Internet Division this month thanks to him.

Skypager! This guy is just wicked!  Small scales, logos and pics.  He
can do it all.  He truly fits into the family atmosphere of
the group.  Great to have you aboard man!

Phantom - This guy joins us as a VGA artist with alot of potential!
LordHe has shown us what he's capable of but you can tell that
he's got something about him.

Internal Structure

This month Dark Illustrated continued its internal structuring.  Our
new Co-Ordinator position is filled with Tribal Siege who will also
be running the USHQ Tundra.  As well our Internet Division opens up
with Cyber X as the premier member of it.  Grail becomes our Ansi head
and with his experience running Wyld Studios we know he has the ability
to do a tremendous job.

USHQ:  Tundra

Tribal Siege's Tundra becomes Dark Illustrated's USHQ this month.
It's a great board and as a Co-Ordinator his work can be done easier
from the HQ.  He did a great job while TLA was undergoing some work,
and showed that Tundra can handle us! :)

didn't exist."

Stile's in Dark!? WHAT!? DOES THIS MEAN GOTHIC DIED?!@#?

So what WOULD you blow him for?

Hehe... yep, us dark folk migrate together in groups... sort of like girls to
the bathroom...

All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck.

Let the Dark Illustrated "Summer of Hate" World Tour begin.

Dark Illustrated:  Dedication
sdht4  ▐▀▀▀▀▌  4thds

This month we dedicate the Dark Illustrated Collection to a member
who has shown, time and time again that loyalty and dedication does
exist.  Forlorn Extender aka Desalvo has shown the integrity and the
push that every artist strives for.  For that we thank you.

Dark Illustrated (05/96)

expect the impossible.
