They are Dark Illustrated, and now you are given another chance to experience them. Status is only a word, and those that need not status truly are artists. Within us, see the powers of loyalty, friendship, trust, and hope. These are the representations of the future. And that future is Dark Illustrated. Welcome to the November release from Dark Illustrated. This year is slowly coming to a close, and with it many scene rumours die. This was the year that Dark experienced the brunt of the rumours. Dark's death was first rumoured around the late winter, however with several strong packs we were to overcome this. Again, during the summer we were put to the forefront of group death, and yes we overcame. We're now 25+ packs strong, how many other groups can boast that? Acid, Blade, Cia, Dark, and Ice have been around for more than 2 years now. And yes, though Dark is often not mentioned (ignorance in the scene exists moreso now than ever) amongst these groups, we definetley belong. You don't have to look very far for talent these days, and we're proof. This month our roots (the 416/905) gave back to us. We once again gained strength from our 'home'. As discussed in last month's information update, we brought up the fact that Dark was once again digging in it's heals to bring you the best. And this month we'll prove that. As the number of ANSI artists in groups decreases, we will show you that it's not quanitity, but quality that shows a thriving group. New Members and Member movement  As I said above, this was the month we went back to our roots. Our local a/c has always been thriving with great talent, and this time we were able to tap into this talent source. In our ANSI dept. we welcomed Elastic from the cold iCE that once froze his bones. (Elastic is formerly Smokey) As well we welcome Seraphim, who's toons show skill only previously displayed in WatOr and Armaggeddon Donut's works. (the future of toons?!) The Prodigy (also known to some as Loser or Fresh) joins up with his amazing logo styles. Logos are cool because every now and then you'll spot an artist with such a style that you know he'll achieve greatness, and this one may be it. The last of the locals this month is Marko (aka Holocaust) who will become our ONLY ascii member. His work is known to all, as his ascii style has become so widely used. No, we aren't accepting any other ascii artists. His great ascii will grace our FAQ's, Diz' and just about everything we can find! :) Clark, an amazing ANSI artist also joins Dark Illustrated this month. His work shows what alot of known for quite a while now, and that is that talent runs through this guy's fingers like electricity runs through Carnifex. Xypher and the Pink Flufftones This month Xypher Matryx' lifelong dream was realized when his band signed a major record deal with SINY (no, it's not SONY). Xypher and his Pink  Flufftones have now hit the big time. The cross dressing group has been responsible for such hits as: 'Pink and proud', 'Manicure', and the #1 smash hit 'Geraldo love me for my cross dressing'. When asked about the name of his group, Xypher replied with a grunt. The Pink Flufftones responded by telling us that their not afraid of what people will think of their lipstick, dresses, and wigs. This also explains why we haven't seen a Xypher Matryx ANSI since god knows when. Depth Net Eclipse Net, Dark's official message network, is being shut down, and replaced with Depth Net, a merger of Eclipse Net and Syndicate Net, two networks that overlapped in too many places. Internet Affairs Each month, Dark's memberlist contains the most recent list of e-mail addresses for it's artists and staff. If you're web browsing though, you can link to these addresses through the upcoming Dark web page, or The Lethal AspectOnline, which will be up November 2nd (technical delays). Packs can be obtained through The Regency, Dark's Internet HQ, run by Halaster of Fire. Telnet or FTP to: tregency.res.cmu.edu You can also find them on: ftp.cdrom.com : The Hornet Archives \pub\artpacks\incoming\artpacks wuarchive.wustl.edu : Washington University \pub\MSDOS_UPLOADS\ansi\cis tregency.res.cmu.edu : Halaster's "Regency" \ANSI\DARK As always, members can be found idling, chatting, or behaving in bizarre manners on channel #dark, through IRC.

Dark Illustrated is still going strong. After 2+ years of releasing we are still putting out quality without losing integrity. I joined Dark back in 95 because of one thing, that same thing was the reason I came back. It's not the ansi, it's not the art. It's not even the cool member boards. It's the members. Dark members are the friendliest people in any group. You join a group so that you can work with like-minded people. Through my year in Dark I've met alot of cool people. Friendship, loyalty, trust and hope. It's all here, and soon you'll all see it. Sure, numerous groups 'say' that they're 'there for the artist', but only one shows it. Dark meets, late night calls, and great conversation. Dark Illustrated 1996 comes to a close next month. And Dark Illustrated 1997 takes over. The members change, the attitude doesn't.
